The BBC reports that the first foundation columns have been laid for the Freedom Tower that will replace the World Trade Center in New York.
The Freedom Tower is intended to be taller than Chicago's Sears Tower and become the tallest building in the United States at a height of 1,776 feet (541 m), a tribute to the year 1776, when the United States Declaration of Independence was drafted.
Freedom Tower's program includes 2.6 million square feet of office space, as well as an observation deck, world-class restaurants, parking, and broadcast and antennae facilities. The estimated completion date is 2009.
