Towers Heliport

Administrative re-designation. The identifier 'Towers Heliport (US-11106)' appears to be a temporary, unofficial, or database-generated name for the heliport constructed atop the Grandview Medical Center. Upon the hospital's opening, the facility was officially registered with the FAA as 'Grandview Medical Center Heliport (FAA LID: 01AL)'. The old, unofficial identifier was subsequently marked as 'closed' in various aviation databases.

The physical site at these coordinates is an active and fully operational rooftop heliport. It is now officially known as the Grandview Medical Center Heliport (FAA LID: 01AL). It is a private facility used exclusively for medical transport helicopters serving the hospital located at 3690 Grandview Pkwy, Birmingham, AL.

The 'Towers Heliport' designation itself has little to no operational history, as it was likely a placeholder during the hospital's construction. The physical heliport's significance is immense, as it was built to provide critical air ambulance and medical evacuation (medevac) services for the new Grandview Medical Center, a major regional hospital that opened in 2015. It is designed to handle helicopter flights transporting critically ill or injured patients to the hospital's Level III Trauma Center.

There are no prospects for reopening under the name 'Towers Heliport' as the designation is obsolete and has been superseded. The physical heliport at the location is not closed; it is currently active and operational under its official name.
