BBC reports:
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 $3.8 billion skyscraper took eight years to build and is now the tallest building in the US.
It is at the center of the site, which includes a memorial in the footprints of the old towers and a museum, which opened this year.

This building cost (only) 3.8B but the cost of the new Tappen Zee bridge will be at least $4 billion.
Can someone explain why a bridge should cost anywhere near the amount of this than is 104-storey building?!
It just doesn’t make sense..
what a view
Bring your own parachute
Can we get a price per sq” feet on an office?
Thanks
I hope they’re happy and healthy there. Don’t forget about the first WTC parking garage bombing. The Port Authority didn’t listen to its hired experts.
I also liked the old skyline better!
Guess I’m lucky I saw only this…looks beautiful to me!
The original design was much nicer. NY bauracracy ruined this building.
