Estimated cost (on Construction)
February 2007 estimates put the initial construction cost of 1 WTC at $3 billion, or $1,150 per square foot ($12,380 per square meter).Approximately $1 billion of insurance money recouped by Silverstein in connection with the September 11 attacks was used for the tower's construction.The State of New York provided $250 million toward construction costs, and the Port Authority agreed to finance a further $1 billion through the sale of bonds.(Wikipedia.org)
Height
The roof of the top floor of One World Trade Center will be 1,368 feet (417 m) tall, including a 33 ft 4 in (10.16 m) parapet. This height is the same as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center.The building's spire will bring One World Trade Center to a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m), a figure symbolic of the year of the United States Declaration of Independence. This will allow the tower to surpass the 1671-foot (509-meter) height of Taipei 101 to become the world's tallest all-office building and the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, surpassing the Willis Tower (also known as the Sears Tower) in Chicago. However, its roof height will still be 83 feet (25 m) shorter than the Willis Tower. At the time of its completion, One World Trade Center will be the third-tallest skyscraper in the world, behind the Burj Khalifa and the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower, and the 8th-tallest structure of any kind in the world. The Chicago Spire, with a planned height of 2,000 feet (610 m), was expected to exceed the height of One World Trade Center, but its construction was canceled in 2009 due to financial difficulties.(Wikipedia.org)
