Today, workers installed the spire atop One World Trade Center, bringing the building to its full symbolic height of 1,776 feet. Provided the 408-foot addition is considered a spire rather than an antennae, this makes One World Trade Center the tallest building in the United States and the third-tallest in the world. The tower is currently scheduled to open for business in 2014.
