{{quote|Will you be my bride? I want to be married to you. Right now, before the [[Survivor]] and that priest. Not because words on a paper say we have to, but because we want to. I'm painfully tired of being alone, Steris. It’s time I admitted that. And you... well, you’re incredible. You truly are.|[[Waxillium]]'s proposal to [[Steris]] in the Ahlstrom Tower{{book ref|mb6|31}}}}

'''Ahlstrom Tower''' is a skyscraper located in [[Elendel]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb6|31}}

== Appearance ==
Ahlstrom Tower is a flat-topped building, with a large roof that has enough space for a crowd of people and an airship.{{book ref|mb6|31}} The top floor of the tower has a regal looking penthouse apartment. The penthouse contains a bedroom suite with an adjoining balcony that overlooks the city.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} The tower is tall enough that the stars and [[Red Rip]] can still be seen in the sky from the balcony, even on nights when the [[mists]] are out.

== History ==
At some point, Waxillium Ladrian purchased an ownership share in Ahlstrom Tower.{{book ref|mb6|31}} The people that lived in the penthouse apartment moved to [[Elmsdel]] on an extended vacation, leaving the penthouse vacant.

When [[Waxillium Ladrian]], [[Steris Harms]], [[Marasi Colms]], and [[Wayne]] returned to Elendel in the [[Southern Peoples of Scadrial|Southern]] airship, they landed the ship on the roof of Ahlstrom Tower.{{book ref|mb6|31}} They met Governor [[Claude Aradel]] and Constable-General [[Reddi]] there on the roof. Wax briefly explained the events surrounding the southerners and the [[Bands of Mourning]] that had occurred over the past few days to Aradel, but refused to go in-depth until the next day, as he and his companions were exhausted

Wax led Steris downstairs to the penthouse, where a [[Survivorism|Survivorist]] priest was waiting for them.{{book ref|mb6|31}} Wax asked her to marry him, not as part of a contract between their houses, but rather for love. Steris agreed, and they were married that night. Wax and Steris stayed in the penthouse apartment for the entirety of their honeymoon.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}} While staying there, Wax accessed the [[coppermind]] given to him by [[Hoid]].{{book ref|mb6|31}}{{book ref|mb6|11}} He saw the memory that [[Kelsier]] had stored inside while helping the Southern Scadrians and realized that the Survivor had returned.{{book ref|mb6|31}}

After spending time staying in the penthouse, Wax considered relocating from Ladrian mansion to Ahlstrom Tower permanently, believing that skyscrapers were a symbol of a new and more vibrant era.{{book ref|mb6|epilogue}}

== Trivia ==
* Ahlstrom Tower is named after [[Peter Ahlstrom]], [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s former assistant and the current editorial director of [[Dragonsteel Entertainment]].
