Height aside, I live in NYC and once all the cleanup and insurance claims and lawsuits were settled, the new 1 WTC was built just unbelievably fast. There was just a deep, sad hole for a few years, then they finally broke ground, starting construction and the building was 100 stories and open for occupancy in less than 5 years. The rate was about 1 floor per week once they got above ground.
