Southmore got my point exactly, Williams is a towering beauty that belongs downtown, not out in the suburbs. The same with Maine Montparnasse in Paris.

Have you ever been to Houston at all? The city has
both multiple skylines
and lonely skyscrapers scattered about the city. Heck, even The Woodlands & Clear Lake with their much stricter zoning laws have lonely skyscrapers, The Endeavor & Anadarko Tower which both stand at an impressive 400+ feet tall.
Houston has many "lonely" towers that don't fit into one specific skyline per se.
Here are just a few...
The Huntingdon
2727 Kirby
The Spires
Warwick Towers
Memorial Hermann Tower at Memorial City (becoming a whole new skyline)
