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.

But stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards
In an age which advances progressively backwards?”
