- Historical Notes
- When the Twin Towers opened in 1973, they were the tallest buildings on earth, reaching over a quarter mile into the sky. With one acre per floor and a total of nearly 10 million square feet of rentable space, the towers were also the world’s largest office buildings. It took 13 years to plan and complete the World Trade Center, including 7 years of construction. Its developers faced challenges specific to local geology and high-rise construction. The novel engineering and architectural solutions they devised revolutionized skyscraper construction.
