The Sapphire Tower was a proposed luxury hotel / condominium skyscraper in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to be built by developer Harry Stinson. It was so named because all plans for it had deep blue glass curtain walls. This site had previously been involved in numerous other proposals, including Stinson's own Downtown Plaza concept, as well as an earlier proposal that would have incorporated the neighbouring Graphic Arts Building.

Famous quotes containing the word tower:
“Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
