Whats so dignified about your skyline? It's big? woopdy do. it looks small because you have the current tallest structure on earth standing beside it. You need to break the 1000 foot barrier by a large margin with one if not two buildings if you want the skyline to look sizeable, by atleast 200 feet.

But I can see how the tower wouldn't fit in well, but toronto needs something that isn't just a box or a triangle thats covered in stone. Atleast the trump building has reasonable complexity to it aswell as glass. Still think it would be worth more than 5 minutes of sunshine, what politician is outside at all during the day anyways?

Although scotiabank tower is coplex in shape, overall it is still flat faced and essentially a crooked box with indentations at the top. Current trend in north america is for landmark towers to be going up, toronto of all places should be following suit, although I don't believe sapphire tower would be that landmark, and niether is trump.

By the way, whats wrong with trump tower, the fact that its trump building it? As far as I can tell that is its only fault, although it is making the skyline look flat.
