A doorman opens the entrance for a
employee entering One World Trade
Center on Monday More than 13 years after the
original towers were destroyed in
the 9/11 attacks, New York's World
Trade Center has re-opened for
business. Employees at publishing giant Conde
Nast are starting to move into the 104-
storey One World Trade Center. The $3.8bn (£2.4bn) skyscraper took
eight years to build and is now the
tallest building in the US. It is 60% leased and the government's
General Services Administration has
signed up for 275,000 square feet "The New York City skyline is whole
again," Patrick Foye, executive
director of the Port Authority, which
owns the restored site, said in a
statement. The 1,776ft (541m) tall skyscraper is
at the centre of the site, which includes
a memorial in the footprints of the old
towers and a museum, opened this
year. An observation deck at the top of the
building will eventually be open to the
public. One World Trade Center now
dominates the Manhtattan skyline Some of the best views of the building
are in New Jersey Mr Foye added the building was "the
most secure office building in
America". TJ Gottesdiener of the Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill firm that produced
the final design said the high-rise went
beyond the city's existing building
code, and was built with steel-inforced
concrete. About 170 of Conde Nast's employees
will be moving into the building this
week, filling five floors. About 3,000
more employees will join them in early
2015. Space has also been leased to the
advertising firm Kids Creative, the GSA,
and 191,000 sq ft for the China Center,
a trade and cultural space.
