How high?
With a number of skyscrapers in the works, here’s what the city’s tallest buildings would be:
1. One World Trade Center (to be completed in 2013): 1,776 feet
2. Empire State Building (including spire): 1,454 feet
3. Two World Trade Center (to be completed in 2014): 1,350 feet
4. Hudson Place Tower I (proposed for Hudson Yards): 1,300 feet
