Currently, the Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York City, at a total height of 1,453 feet (443.09 meters). The World Trade Center towers were taller (a total of 1,727 feet, or 526.39 meters), and the new building that is going to replace them (Freedom Tower) will stand at 1,776 feet (541.32 meters) tall. So, Freedom Tower will be taller than the Empire State Building and the now-fallen Twin Towers.

A height of 1,776 feet was chosen as a reference to the year Americans declared their independence from Great Britain.
