100 Stories... That's how tall the 1 World Trade Center (1 WTC) is since right before last weekend. Technically, in terms of floors that actually exist, the 1 WTC is 93 stories tall... The latest milestone was marked by the fact that the building's metal framework has reached the height where the 100th floor will be once finished (see pic below). The 1 WTC has only 4 more stories to go after that (at least in terms of having the remaining steel beams installed vertically to the top of the skyscraper) before it reaches a height of 1,314 feet (401 meters). When the roof is completed, the 1 WTC will be 1,368-feet (417 meters) tall. And once the 408-feet (124 meters) tall antenna spire is added to the top of the building sometime this summer, the 1 World Trade Center will finally reach its intended and symbolic height of 1,776 feet (541.32 meters).
In another milestone that is coming soon, the 1 WTC has less than a month to go before it surpasses the Empire State Building as the tallest skyscraper in New York. Awesome.
