City Center 9/11 Memorial Tower Climb
Sponsored By
City Center Security & City Center Management are hosting a tower climb in honor of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
The World Trade Center Towers each consisted of 110 floors and 2071 steps. During the City Center climb, participants will climb or walk 27 floors, 4 times in the Bank of America tower which is nearly the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. There will be various tributes to memorialize the fallen first responders including a local bugler playing TAPS, A Bugler’s Cry, a dedicated moment of silence recognizing the timeline that unfolded on September 11, 2001, and each of today’s heroes – our local first responders – will carry a name and photo of a hero who responded to the World Trade Centers.
The event is not a timed race, but a way for first responders and the community to honor and remember the ultimate sacrifice made by the fallen first responders.
Timeline of Events:
- 7:00 am Registration Opens
- 8:25 am Opening Ceremony

What's the Buzz
City Center has new neighbors! We’re proud to take part in the movement for a more eco-conscious city by installing a beehive on The Grill’s patio in City Club! Our beehive will be home to thousands of bees. Our new colleagues are pollinating the urban flora that surrounds us this summer. At the end of the season, we’ll harvest their honey and share it with our community.
What about stings, you ask? No need to fret! Bees really aren’t interested in human beings. They have one goal, and one goal only: to collect nectar and pollen from flowers within a 3-mile radius of their hive and bring it back to ensure the colony’s development.
Plus, bees die when they sting. It causes them to lose their stinger and a part of their abdomen - meaning they really have no interest in doing so, unless they feel their colonys threatened.
Our project is in collaboration with Alvéole, a social beekeeping company that has been around since 2013. They have partnered with hundreds of schools and companies like ours on beekeeping projects. Each hive creates greater ecological awareness, allowing city dwellers to reconnect with nature and adjust their sense of responsibility towards the environment. This season, we will discover the ties that bind us to bees and the flora and fauna that surround us, right here in the city.
