The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat announced Tuesday that the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) is no longer the tallest building in the United States. The new World Trade Center in New York (which replaces the Twin Towers after 9/11) is the new tallest building. The debate was over whether a needle was part of the World Trade Center or just a broadcaster antenna. (It was ruled to be part of the actual building.) It stands at a symbolic 1776 feet tall.
1 World Trade Center is still under construction and set to open next year.
