Originally the roof was going to be shorter but with a spire. Then they decided to increase the roof height but remove the spire. They want the WTC to retain the "tallest building in America" title. They won't add a spire out of "respect" which I guess is understandable.
But The Nordstrom Tower will be the tallest building in America by roof height, which is what most people count. I'm from NY and I never considered the new WTC the tallest building. The Willis Tower has a higher roof. I don't count antenna's or spire's. But The Nordstrom Tower will overtake The Willis Tower when it's completed which I'm thrilled about. For all intents and purposes it will become the tallest building in America.
