World Trade Center Ground Zero Walking Tour tickets

    About The Tallest Building in America

    Built on the same grounds where the tragic 9-11 attack took place

    One World Trade Center (also known as The Freedom Tower) is located in lower Manhattan, NY. Standing as a shining beacon for the new Downtown, and a bold addition to the skyline, One World Trade Center is safe, sustainable, and artistically dynamic. Soaring to a symbolic 1,776 feet — it is the Western Hemisphere’s tallest building, and already an iconic New York landmark. 


    This amazing structure was built on the same grounds where the tragic 9-11 attack happened resulting in the complete destruction of the previous majestic twin towers. Building Facts: Opened October 2014, Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (David M. Childs), Tallest of new WTC Complex, 104 Stories / 1776 feet high, 3 million rentable square feet of space, 55 foot high office lobby, 54 High-speed destination dispatch passenger elevators,  Life-safety systems far exceed NYC building code. With entrances on all 4 sides of the building, One WTC has been designed to smoothly integrate traffic of visitors & office tenants.  The cubic base has a footprint identical to the original Twin Towers.  The surface of the base is clad in more than 2,000 pieces of shimmering prismatic glass.  


    The tower ascends 69 stories — its edges chamfered back to form 8 isosceles triangles, a perfect octagon at center.  It culminates in a square, glass parapet at the crown, its crystalline form creating a vibrant effect, as light refracts like a kaleidoscope, changing throughout the day.  The “One World Observatory” is an enclosed observation deck rising 1,250 ft. above street level.  The crown of One WTC is a 408-foot spire — consisting of a mast and a communication platform ring.  At night, a beacon at the top sends out a horizontal light beam, which can be seen from miles away.
