Freedom tower
World Trade Center Tower 1, or Freedom Tower, is the centerpiece building of the new World Trade Center complex which is currently being built in Lower Manhattan New York City.
As you will know the previous World Trade Center towers and nearby structures were lost to the hands of terrorists on September 11th 2001. After much discussion it was decided to rebuild but to ensure areas and spaces are designed in a way to remeber those lost within the buildings and of course the countless rescure crews who were also lost on that day.
The tower will be built in the northwest corner of the site which is 16-acres (65,000 m²) in size.
Work began on the foundations for the tower on April 27 2006. In mid December the first steel columns were starting to be moved into the foundations of the building.
The Freedom Tower will not be alone on the site, three other high rises are advanced planning stages which will also feature a residential tower which will surround the World Trade Center Memorial and Museum.
