7One World Trade Center – New York City, USA

A symbol of resilience and rebirth, One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, constructed on the site of the original World Trade Center complex. 

The height of the building, 1,776 feet, is a deliberate reference to the year of American independence.

Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the building’s reflective glass façade captures the light in a way that makes it appear to change color throughout the day.

The One World Observatory offers sweeping views of New York City, from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building.
