MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
NEW YORK, Feb. 27 — An urban complex of stylish, jagged buildings accented with a 1,776-foot spire designed by architect Daniel Libeskind will be the redevelopment template for the World Trade Center site. The spire is planned to be taller than the former WTC towers, which briefly stood as the world’s tallest at 1,350 feet, and also would surpass Malaysia’s 1,483-foot Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in the world.
