Prior to the September 11, 2001 Attacks in New York City , the twin towers of the World Trade Center occupied the second and third positions on the list below. The North Tower stood at 1,368 Feet (417 M ), while the South was 1,362 feet (415 m) tall. The 1,776 foot (541 m) Freedom Tower , scheduled for construction on the former World Trade Center site, was intended to become the tallest building in the United States upon completion in 2010. The Chicago Spire (previously known as the Fordham Spire) a tower under construction in Chicago , Illinois is also planned for completion in 2010. This tower would be taller than the proposed Freedom Tower with a height of 2,000 feet (610 m). The proposed Crown Las Vegas in Las Vegas , Nevada , if built, is scheduled to be completed by 2011 and will also be higher than the Freedom Tower with a height of 1,888 feet (575 m). Other tall buildings that are either proposed or under construction include Trans National Place in Boston (1,175 feet (351.8m)), the Signature Tower in Nashville, Tennessee (1,057 feet (322 m)), the Bank Of America Tower (1,200 feet (366 m)), the Comcast Center (975 feet (297 m)) in Philadelphia, the Trump International Hotel And Tower (1,362 feet (415 m)) and Waterview Tower (1,047 feet (319 m)) in Chicago. If all these buildings are completed at the current projections, the nine tallest buildings in the United States would be located in either New York (7 - Freedom Tower, 2 World Trade Center, 3 World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Bank of America Tower, New York Times Building, and Chrysler Building) or Chicago (6 - Chicago Spire, Sears Tower, Trump International, Aon Center, John Hancock Building and Waterview Tower) - excluding the proposed Signature Tower in Nashville, Tennessee .
