New York - The tallest building in New York will likely be the main tower of the World Trade Center, One World Trade Center, starting today, which is still under construction. It stands at New York's Ground Zero, the site where the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, destroyed the former landmarks of New York - the two towers of the World Trade Center. According to the AP agency, on Monday workers will raise a steel structure that will bring the building to over 380 meters. This is high enough for One World Trade Center to oust the skyscraper Empire State Building from its position as the tallest building in New York. Although the antenna on this building is situated even higher, experts generally do not include it in statistics. Once the builders complete the new World Trade Center tower, it is expected to measure a total of 541 meters. This is enough for the title of the tallest building in the USA only if the 124-meter-high antenna, which will be placed on the roof, is taken into account. Without the antenna, it will be "only" the second tallest building in the United States. The Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago is indeed taller.
