Thirteen years have past since the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City. Now its replacement has opened for business. One World Trade Center is America's tallest building at 104 levels or storeys. The company Conde Nast Publishing recently moved into offices there.
Conde Nast says it will have 2,300 employees spread among 24 floors of the building. The building still raises safety concerns among some people who remember what happened on the site. But those arriving for work, soon after Conde Nast offices opened, expressed no concerns about being safe.
"There's plenty of security here. You feel safe, at least I do," said Austin Parker.
"You know it's a tragedy what happened in 2001, but I think it's a great tribute to America what they've come back and done. I'm proud to work here," said MaryAnne Cacey.
Conde Nast employee says working at one World Trade Center was an inspiration.
On the day the building opened for business, Conde Nast, the New York and New Jersey Port Authority and Construction Company Officials praised the new skyscraper.
Charles Townsend is Conde Nast's Chief Executive.
"This is a terrific day for lower Manhattan, a wonderful day for New York City and an absolutely great day for Conde Nast," said Townsend.
Steve Plate is director of One World Trade Center construction. He noted how important it was to rebuild what was lost.
"We give you back as a gift of remembrance, of people we lost that fateful day but also of the wonder of how people pull together to make such a wonderful thing , a wonderful structure in their memory," said Plate.
One World Trade Center is 541 meters high. There are 279,000 square meters of space within the building. 60 percent of the space has been rented or leased by a number of publishing, technology and communications companies.
One World Trade Center cost $3.9 billion to build. It is one of the world's costliest structures. The One World Trade Center website says the structure uses the newest safety and security systems.

2011年9月11日纽约世贸中心遭受恐怖分子袭击，如今13年过去了。现在，世贸中心的替代建筑已经开张。世贸中心一号大楼共104层，是美国最高的大楼。康泰纳仕出版公司最近搬进了这座楼的办公室。
康泰纳仕公司称其2300名雇员将分布在这座大楼的24个楼层，对那些仍记得这里发生过什么的人来说，他们仍对这座楼的安全标示担忧。但在康泰纳仕公司开张不久后来这里的雇员表示不担心完全问题。
“这里的安全措施很好，你会感到安全的，至少我就是。”
“大家都知道2011年的惨剧，但我认为重建是在向美国致敬，我很骄傲能在这里工作。”
康泰纳仕公司的雇员说在世贸中心一号楼工作很激励人。
就在大厦开业当天，康泰纳仕公司、纽约新泽西港务局以及建筑公司高管赞扬了这栋新的摩天大楼。
查尔斯·汤森德是康泰纳仕公司总裁。
“这对下曼哈顿区、纽约市和康泰纳仕公司来说都是美好的一天。”
