More than a decade after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, America's tallest building is open for business.

Employees started moving into One World Trade Center on Monday morning.

The 104-story, $3.9 billion building is just 60% leased. About 170 employees of Conde Nast's 3,400 workers moved into the skyscraper. The rest of the company, which signed a 25-year lease for 1 million square feet, will move there in 2015.

The handful of Conde employees who moved into the first five floors of the building on Nov. 3 shared the action on Twitter and Instagram. See some of their first photos.
