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:
“So was produced this tragedy
In a far tower of ivory
Where, O young men, late in the night
All you who drink light and stroke the air
Come back, seeking the night, and cry
To strict Rapunzel to let down her hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
