Well, the Sapphire Tower has a skinny ratio of about 7.5:1, Eureka is 6.1:1 and Palm is about 8:1.

Wilson is about 16:1, meaning it's twice as skinny as the skinniest tower you mentioned, while also not having a hotel included in the building.

Not to be a downer on observation decks, but all the buildings you mentioned are much more similar to Waterline (which we know will not get a deck) than Wilson. And I just don't see Wilson having the space for a dedicated elevator shaft for an observation deck.
