Key Center South Tower is a high-rise located in Buffalo, NY. It stands 225 feet (69 m) and 13 stories tall.[1] The building has a twin tower next door. The Key Center North Tower, which is four stories taller, and connected by a two-story glass atrium encompassing 18,800 square feet of retail space. The complex is known as the Key Center at Fountain Plaza.[2] Both buildings have distinctive pyramid tops that are trimmed with bright green neon lighting which is illumined at night. In the front of the two towers is a large fountain and reflecting pool in the summer. In the winter, it serves as an outdoor ice rink that is free to the public.[3]
