Here’s a clear comparison between the old World Trade Center (WTC 1) and the new One World Trade Center (often called the Freedom Tower): 🏙 Old WTC 1 (North Tower) Official Name: World Trade Center 1 (North Tower) Completed: 1972 Height (roof): 1,368 feet (417 meters) Height (with antenna): 1,728 feet (527 meters) Floors: 110 Destroyed: September 11, 2001 🗽 New WTC 1 (One World Trade Center / Freedom Tower) Completed: 2013 Height (architectural top / spire): 1,776 feet (541 meters) (Symbolic number representing the year 1776 — U.S. independence) Height (roof): 1,368 feet (417 meters) — the same as the old North Tower’s roof height. Floors: 104 (plus mechanical and observation levels) ✅ Quick Summary: Both towers reach 1,368 ft to the roof, but the new WTC 1’s spire makes it the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere at 1,776 ft. The old North Tower was slightly shorter if you compare total height (its antenna wasn’t part of the official architectural height).
