On March 30, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name
of "One World Trade Center", rather than its colloquial name of
"Freedom Tower". The building is 104 standard floors high, but the tower
has only 94 actual stories.
The new
World Trade Center complex will eventually include five high-rise office
buildings built along Greenwich Street, as well as the National
September 11 Memorial & Museum,
located just south of One World Trade Center where the original Twin
Towers stood. The construction of the new building is part of an effort
to memorialize and rebuild following the destruction of the original
World Trade Center complex.
