Freedom Tower

One World replacement

Freedom Tower is the informal name for One World Trade Center, the skyscraper built on the site of the original World Trade Center towers destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The name emphasizes symbolic defiance and resilience.

Though "Freedom Tower" was used during planning and construction, the building's official name is One World Trade Center: We visited the Freedom Tower when we were in New York.
