The original Twin Towers were destroyed in the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and no longer exist in their original form. Today, at the site of the former Twin Towers in Lower Manhattan, the One World Trade Center (also known as the Freedom Tower) stands as the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex. It opened in 2014 and is a 110-story skyscraper with a modern design, featuring a distinctive spire and serving as the tallest building in New York City and the Western Hemisphere.
The second tower, known as 2 World Trade Center, remains incomplete. Its foundation and basement floors were built, but the above-ground construction has been delayed for years with no full completion yet. The latest new design revealed in 2025 for 2 World Trade Center shows a 62-story building with stepped setbacks, landscaped terraces, and a tall white spire, though construction has not resumed after delays and tenant negotiations.
In summary, the original Twin Towers do not exist anymore, replaced by the One World Trade Center and other new towers in the complex, with the second tower still under design and partial construction as of 2025. The site also includes the 9/11 Memorial featuring reflecting pools marking the footprints of the original towers.
