In addition 1776 feet is 539.9 meters, does number 539.9 mean anything to anyone? I'm asking because if anyone in the rest of the world does ever hear anything about this tower it will most likely be in meters.

uhh, SO what if it reads 540m to the rest of the world? This tower is in USA. Probably not a lot of people would care for 1776 either way. But its an Amerian tower, so it wouldn't matter. And, its structural height mirrors the old WTC twins, so I guess thats somewhat symbolic.
