An amazing achievement that the city and country should be very proud of! I've very much enjoyed watching this building rise and will continue to anticipate the completion of the entire complex - Thanks to all who provide updates!

Back on top: With beam in place, World Trade Center main tower is officially NYC's tallest building
The unfinished 1 World Trade Center officially became the tallest building in New York at 2:12 p.m. today after workers reached the 100th floor. The building will top out at 104 floors.

Quote:
Conditions were good and the main tower at the redeveloped World Trade Center site surpassed the Empire State Building as New York City’s tallest skyscraper this afternoon. “We’re good to go,” said Steve Coleman earlier today, a spokesman for the agency, adding the winds would not hinder today's event. “It is happening.” ]
The World Trade Center is again the tallest building in New York one year after the killing of Osama bin Laden and more than 10 years after the attacks that brought them down. It is still a work in progress: The hulking steel structure known as the Freedom Tower is still 500 feet shorter than it will be when complete.
Lower Manhattan is the fastest-growing residential neighborhood in New York, with young families choosing to move into what had been a ghost town after dark for much of the past century. Businesses are relocating to Lower Manhattan as well, including many future tenants flocking to the Freedom Tower. Where George Washington took the oath of office, at Federal Hall, is again a vibrant crossroads at all hours.
Destruction is easy. Any determined idiot can do it. Building is hard work but infinitely more interesting. It is an expression of faith in the future.
We have been down a long road since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. And too often, the daily work of rebuilding does not get its due. But it is the main event, evidence of how we honor the past while moving on with life.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
Today the Empire State building lost the crown for the second time in world history as the tallest building in New York City, first time in 1970 to the original north World trade Center tower and then 42 years later to the second World trade Center replacement buidling.

Such a wonderful momentous day for everyone! The WTC has reclaimed its rightful place in the skyline of NYC, and this is only the beginning. Before long, it will top out I can't wait for that ceremony it will be even better, when it finally reaches the same height as the old wtc.
Its been a long road for this building from last year to today. I'm so happy the World Trade Center is the tallest building in New York. Even in the West Coast its all over the news! Its a great day for America.
Like what was said before, the WTC is back! It took ten years to replace the Twin Towers, but it was worth it. This has signaled a new era in the skyline of NYC, and let's hope that this change will continue.
