Chapter 17 - Claire Breaks Ground On The Grand New Charlotte Tower
On a bright spring morning, hundreds of city officials, investors, and citizens gathered in the heart of Downtown Charlotte for a historic ceremony.
A massive yellow excavator stood behind a decorated stage where Claire Whitmore stood alongside Mayor Jennifer Roberts and David Cole.
They were breaking ground on the Rowan Tower, a fifty-story sustainable skyscraper designed entirely by Claire’s architectural team.
The project was funded entirely through ethical private investments and provided hundreds of apprenticeship opportunities for local youths.

Applause erupted across the plaza as city leaders praised Claire as the premier architectural visionary of the Carolinas.
