Oh, thats the one I'd said would get built in my earlier post. I think the other poster misunderstood me. I said the Freedom Tower because it would be the only one that WOULD get built.

And I agreed with you, and posted a pic of the progress.

I voted for the Freedom Tower in NYC. The Freedom Tower is more than a building to New Yorkers because of 9/11. The area where the World Trade Centers use to stand looks extremely empty.

I like the architecture of the American Commerce Center in Philly. I believe it's visually appealing and is huge at around 1500 feet. The city of Philly needs a mega building.

My third choice would be the Spire. In my opinion, the spire is not visually appealing. Also, there is a huge possibility it will never be built because of funding problems.
