How do you say "Freedom Tower" in chinese?

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/27/no.freedom.tower/index.html
 
Long story short, a Chinese company has leased a part of the building where the World Trade Center/Freedom Tower, as it's sometimes called, once was. However, the official name of the new tower, which is currently under construction, will most likely not be what it once was.
 
....that's just about all you can get out of this article. The whole thing is litteraly fact, quote, fact, quote, fact, quote for the whole article. I didn't want to read it after a while because the article format was way too repetitive. The only part of the article that changes is the end, where it's basicaly a straight list of facts.
 
Theoreticly, this is a good article, but there's no spice in it at all. There's no part in the story that really got me thinking about the topic at hand. Yes, this is a good example of a pretty straightforward article, but there has to be more to keep the reader interested.

You know, now that I've taken a slightly closer look at my blog, I've discovered how horribly obnoxious asking for comments over and over again are. I should probably change that. Preferably into something whitty and creative. Perhaps a knock-knock joke?
