skyscraper view

High-rise outlook

A skyscraper view is the panorama visible from a tall building—typically looking out over a cityscape from high floors.

The phrase can also describe the view of skyscrapers themselves from street level or a distance: The skyscraper view from the ferry is stunning.

Either way, it suggests urban scale and verticality.
