One World Trade CenterThe long awaited <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/one-world-trade-center-tower-reaches-100-stories/" target="_blank">One World Trade Center</a> set a record today, becoming the tallest building in New York. The in-progress tower surpassed New York City's current highest building, the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/artist-sean-kenney-crafts-nyc-landmarks-buildings-from-thousands-of-legos/" target="_blank">Empire State Building</a>, which soars to 1,250 feet. The original <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center" target="_blank">Twin Towers</a> held the title of NYC's tallest buildings until they were destroyed in the September 11 attacks. Once complete, One World Trade Center will reach 1,776 feet with its antenna spire, a height chosen to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence.1
