It overtook the Empire State Building, after a steel column was lifted into place on the 100th floor.
Work on the building began in April 2006 and when it's finished it will have 104 floors.

The tower stands on the site where terrorist attacks destroyed the World Trade Center's twin towers on 11 September 2001.
One construction worker told a BBC reporter "It's a beautiful thing that we're up there but it's a horrible reason to have to put it up." Source:www.bbc.co.uk
