Aren’t most or all of the buildings around WTC 1 and 2 already re-built?

According to Wikipedia, the park is near completion. Ground breaking for Freedom Tower was in April of 2006 (over 5 years ago) and it is up to 80 floors with glass up to the 54th floor. Tower 4 is up to 38 floors with glass up to the 15th floor. The Port Authority Transportation Hub is nearing completion and towers 3&4 have apparently had their foundations laid.
A little poetic license please. The fact remains that it has taken more than twice as long since ground breaking just to get a partially completed tower 1 and with over a decade passing, no building is completed.
Again, the Empire State building was built in 18 months, and Tower 1 of the old WTC completed in just 2 years. Apparently we cannot do what we were capable of doing just forty years ago.
