Conde Nast will move into the 104-storey building today, which now dominates
Manhattan’s skyline.
The
new building is constructed from steel-reinforced concrete, and
is described as ‘the most secure office space in America’.
‘The
New York City skyline is whole again, as One World Trade Center takes its place
in Lower Manhattan,’ said Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the site.
