NEW YORK – The final pieces of the spire that will top One World Trade Center—and make it soar to a symbolic 1,776 feet when fully installed—were raised to the building’s roof Thursday.
The pieces will be installed at a later date.
The 408-foot spire will serve as a world-class broadcast antenna.
The new tower is at the northwest corner of the World Trade Center site, which is well on its way to reconstruction with the 72-story Four World Trade Center and other buildings.
