Possible spoilers: Someone want to explain the significance of it? Not sure why it's in the film. It's covered with solar panels and they move which is cool I guess. But no one gets there. Is that it? The tower is just a big mcguffin?

The High Rise Tower was Elijah's excuse to get visibility on Super Humans like himself, Kevin and David by tapping into the security camera's and downloading a internet video to make their presence visible to the world, that was his overall goal, he knew about the Secret Society and knew it was a suicide mission for all of them. He had no intention of going there and probably would have reworked his plan had he and Kevin survived.

That's right. It's similar to the trick Lex Luthor used in the first Superman film, to lure Superman to his secret hideout (by falsely threatening to release poisonous gas throughout the city).

I get the above replies, but does it not play some larger role in the future? I know it was a misdirect, but then why feature it again nearly at the end of the film?

Not saying you are wrong, because M. Night Shyamalan is actually pretty stupid, so that might well have been 'the plan'.
Call me picky, but getting killed isn't my idea of a plan. That the idea comes from the mind of a criminal genius (Mr Glass, not M. Night Shyamalan) makes it especially stupid.
And why bring David along if there is no intention to have a showdown at Osaka Tower? And how could Glass have predicted that Joseph would arrive and tell Kevin about his father, therefore compelling The Beast to murder Glass? None of that stuff is a good plan, and some of it is just accidental.
I honestly think this is no more complicated than an attempt at a shock twist. M. Night Shyamalan made movie history with the twist in Sixth Sense and has spent 20 years trying, unsuccessfully, to do it again. I doubt many people gasped when this plot turn unfolded. Probably, more like me, they went, 'Man, this is really stupid.'
And yeah, me saying 'stupid' a dozen times in a post about this movie is deliberate. And justified.
