Final World Trade Center Tower Rises 25 Years After 9/11

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the final office tower at the World Trade Center site is under construction. The 55-story, 1,226-foot building will become the new American Express headquarters, symbolizing the city's recovery and strength, officials said.

The new tower represents an important milestone for New York City, American Express, and Silverstein Properties, marking the next chapter in the site's long history. It also stands as a symbol of triumph and what can be accomplished in the United States following the tragic events nearly a quarter-century ago. "We will never, ever forget," a city official said, recalling the spirit shown in the harrowing days after the attacks.
