Ohio from the RenCen-is this possible?

Everyone forgot basic math in high school ?
You have to be 300 ft up to see 20 miles out to the horizon.

At 700 ft up in the RenCen you can see 30 miles

Renaissance Building is only 727 ft high
[[This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts.)
So "wherever" you might be on RenCen, you only get 30 miles sight

You would have to be 1000ft up to see 40 miles

But wouldn't an equally tall building at the destination allow for double the distance? i.e. a 700ft building should be seen...at least part of it.
