Built on the site of the original World Trade Center
The new One World Trade Center is built on the site of the original World Trade Center, whose iconic twin towers were toppled in the September 11, 2001 attack.
The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said the needle is not an antenna but a spire, and thus is a permanent part of the building.
The World Trade Center's needle, measuring 408 feet (124 meters) tall, was more than enough to knock down the Chicago building formerly known as the Sears Tower to second place.
