One World Trade Center - Spire

The One World Trade Center building was originally completed in 2012, with the spire added in 2013; however, in 2023 The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey initiated the up-light replacement program specifically for the antenna and spire. The spire accounts for the upper 408-feet of the WTC building, and now, thanks to lighting and controls from Traxon e:cue, it shines even brighter. Roughly 75-units of Traxon Vista Plus 200W RGBW fixtures are mounted on 3 levels utilizing a custom-built mounting swing plate with horizontal rotation. Additionally, DMX control capability is coordinated with the existing 3rd party control system.

As a result of the lighting installation, the spire can now be easily controlled and is visible from miles, acting as a landmark for aircraft, and a pillar of hope for the city.
