[7], The tower has a three-story observation deck, located on floors 100–102, in addition to existing broadcast and antenna facilities. [187], Along with the protection provided by the reinforced concrete base, a number of other safety features were included in the building's design, so that it would be prepared for a major accident or terrorist attack. [78][106] The tower's spire was then shipped from Quebec to New York in November 2012,[107] and the first section of the spire was hoisted to the top of the tower on December 12, 2012,[107][108] and was installed on January 15, 2013.

In 2006, Larry Silverstein commented on a planned completion date: "By 2012 we should have a completely rebuilt World Trade Center, more magnificent, more spectacular than it ever was. Från början så var det tänkt att 1 WTC skulle stå klart under 2011 men det sköts upp ett flertal gånger, bland annat på grund av den blåsiga vintern 2011–2012 som försvårade arbetet. [19] The project was planned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which hired architect Minoru Yamasaki. The building opened on November 3, 2014;[14] the One World Observatory opened on May 29, 2015.[15]. One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the USA at 1,778'. However, the steps were changed to a terrace in the final design. As a result, it was replaced by a simpler facade consisting of stainless steel panels and blast-resistant glass. There is a sky lobby on floor 64; office floors resume on floor 65, and stop at floor 90. [78] The current base cladding consists of angled glass fins protruding from stainless steel panels, similar to those on 7 World Trade Center.

[3][4] The tower's construction was partly funded by approximately $1 billion of insurance money that Silverstein received for his losses in the September 11 attacks. [83] Soon after, explosives were detonated at the construction site for two months to clear bedrock for the building's foundation, onto which 400 cubic yards (310 cubic meters) of concrete was poured by November 2007. Paired with a concrete-core shear wall, the moment frame lends substantial rigidity and redundancy to the overall building structure while providing column-free interior spans for maximum flexibility.

The fires burned for hours, compromising the building's structural integrity. Med sina reflekterande fönster och 124,3 m höga antenn högst upp, är One World Trade Center även den högsta skyskrapan på norra halvklotet. In 2012, Douglas Durst gave a statement regarding the final decision: "(the antenna) is going to be mounted on the building over the summer.

In January 2012, Chadbourne & Parke, a Midtown Manhattan-based law firm, was to sign a 300,000 square feet (30,000 m2) lease contract,[225] but after negotiations broke down, the deal was abruptly canceled in March.
