Discover more about One World Trade Center

One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower, is the centerpiece of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan. Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, it stands as the tallest building in the United States and the Western Hemisphere, reaching a symbolic height of 1,776 feet, a nod to the year of American independence. The tower's unique architecture features a crystalline form, with eight isosceles triangles converging to create a perfect square at its base. Its shimmering glass curtain wall reflects the dynamic New York City skyline. The building opened on November 3, 2014, and it has since become a world-class business and social hub. Visitors can ascend to the One World Observatory on floors 100-102 for panoramic views of the city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum, located adjacent to the tower, offers a place for reflection and remembrance. The museum uncovers the story of the events of that day with over 10,000 artifacts on display, as well as interviews, photographs, and family testimonies.
