I think the problem could be that that (concrete?) light gray stem may look bland in real life.
An actual building this tall with a same type of amenities open to all by top floors would be better IMO.
If the local market didn't allow it at the moment, well, they'd have to be patient just like the rest of us.
Oh well, it's up to them.
I mentioned the Eiffel tower precisely because it is not a building at all.
It is only this type of landmark to entertain people, but has no actual use for locals, aside of course from being a very valuable tourist attraction.
From a local standpoint, it is mostly (if not only) valuable as a historic structural engineering showcase. That's it.
Can't tell whether this Tulip would stand for any engineering feat nowadays, though.
It might just be some tourist gadget.

Hrm... I tend to disagree...
It could be that London, like Paris, could be suffering from being a lackluster tourist destination and this is needed to bolster tourism. This would surely help bring in tourists and their money. It is purely a tourist gadget.
