The only change is the 102nd floor is an observation deck.
May not look like much, but there's still 160 ft to go

Look at this picture and the diagram and you can see the 3 large floors from 89,90,91 and the next 3 smaller floors from future floor 92 and the columns and there mounts for 92M and 93.

The height to roof is 1,368 feet. Most of the specifications matches the former North Tower of the old World Trade Center including the height.

Wow what a gorgeous shot with the new DCL ship in the foreground being welcomed to Manhattan!

Found a nice old vs new photo online.

This picture will settle the argument about the new building's width. The new One World Trade Center is essentially a modern sister of the old One World Trade Center. Even though their shape changed it is still extremely reminiscent of the old tower.

Agreed. I have to admit that it has made a SMALL change in the skyline, but not anything major.

Give it a couple more months or so, when it's actually finished, it will look much taller and have a bigger, better impact than now. Visualize the finished tower reaching all the way to the tip of where those cranes are now. That's about where the roof will be.

I agree this completely shows the similarities. They almost look the same when you look just at the roof of the new one compared to the old north tower.

I don't see how that 13-story Minskoff Tower at Astor Place is going to blow the rental market. This news story seems to be pretty hyperbolic, the office market is not as dire as they proclaim.

Why is there no floors 94-99? From the rendering posted there doesn't even appear to be room for mechanical floors. Other than just to claim there are over 100 floors I see no reason for missing out 94-99. Can anybody explain the actual logic and reasoning for this please?
