Skyscraper
A skyscraper was a tall building, often covered in glass, which was a common feature of a 21st century city. The Twelfth Doctor thought skyscrapers were in bad taste, saying that only a "shallow and self-obsessed" society would want "to see themselves reflected everywhere they look". (COMIC: The Hyperion Empire)

Torchwood Tower was a skyscraper in Canary Wharf, London. To members of the general public such as Jackie Tyler, the building itself was known as "Canary Wharf". It was built to reach the height of the radar black spot later determined by the Torchwood Institute to constitute an anomaly in space and time, in reality a breach into the Void. It was close to a skyscraper owned by Citigroup. (TV: Army of Ghosts)
