A torch lighting ceremony will also occur at 1:22 a.m., at the same time that the building collapsed two years prior.
The June 24, 2021 collapse left 98 people dead.
The cause is still under investigation, but an assessment of the building revealed that poor construction and corrosion were concerning factors three years prior to the collapse.
