I find it strange that both the original twins *as well as* the new One World Trade Center didn't surpass the Sears/Willis in roof height. Granted the twins were built prior, but still. Seems that no matter how tall New York builds, we can't surpass the roof height of the Willis Tower in Chicago.
I personally believe the CTBUH should rule against the "spire". At one point it was nice, but then it was stripped of anything even remotely architecturally-related, and it deserves the demotion. It is nothing more than a skeletal mast erected for the purposes of broadcasting, period. I'm willing to put aside my pride to be honest.
At least we will have 432 Park Ave.
