We study the dimer model on special subgraphs of the square hexagon lattice called "tower graphs" of size $N$. Using integrable probability techniques, we confirm that as $N \rightarrow \infty$, the local statistics are translation invariant Gibbs measures, as conjectured by Kenyon-Okounkov-Sheffield. We also present a 2+1-dimensional discrete time growth process, whose time $N$ distribution is exactly the dimer model on the size $N$ tower, and we compute the current of this growth process and confirm that the model belongs to the Anisotropic KPZ universality class.
