'More iconic' than what already exists? So height is 'the' factor in determining whether or not something is iconic? I think the White House in Washington, D.C. may disagree.
The Eiffel Tower was constructed as the entrance to Paris' 1889 World's Fair; it had significant political and public support. Skye Halifax, a residential building, is proposed because ...the previous proposal was approved...?
Perhaps, if Skye Halifax were twin observation towers it would garnish more support? Once it's approved, United Gulf can then
not build it and then propose something even taller! -- and so on, and so on...
