How about... upstairs? You rush to the elevator lobby and hurriedly smack all the buttons, jumping on the first one that arrives after giving the occupants a chance to get off. Just in time too, as right about then do you see the group of security guards from the vault, finally having gotten out and followed in pursuit of you upstairs to the ground floor. The group of them rushing for you, and the police close behind as the elevator doors close.

Taking the elevator as high up the skyscraper as you possibly could, and relying on fire escape stairs the rest of the way, you manage to reach the uppermost floors of the tower in pretty short order and without much attention. Of course you've been so quick about the robbery so far that people haven't had a chance to evacuate the building, if there even was a need to, so the upper floors are certainly not empty and you pass by many people along the way. But as of yet you were nothing more than a strange sight to them, some strangely dressed trespasser? Security will deal with it probably.
So you can make it all the way to the top floor without triggering too many door alarms, finding a rather expansive and fancy sky lobby as well as what you assume to be the bank's corporate boardroom. And saying nothing of the incredible view over your city, but of course you'll be seeing it even better soon enough. Running about the uppermost floor every which way you can trying to find an access to the roof.
<span class="mu-b">"Oh no... locked?! No, I didn't come all this way for nothing..."</span>
Enough searching and you can locate a secured maintenance way to the roof, but as you probably should have expected it's locked. You start to panic about what to do, until remembering the gold bar still weighing you down in the trash bag amongst all the cash. Good thing you brought it with you, as you fish the gleaming brick out and use it to smash open the door. Of course an alarm sounds, but you're much more taken aback by the blast of wind when the door slams open.
Careful, carefully now... moving slowly along the terraced rooftop, alongside and between the great metal spires that jut skyward against the afternoon sun. You're not too afraid of heights and given the surface area of the rooftop of a building this size, you're not in any risk of falling unless you intentionally move too close to the exterior. However it's still a lot to take in for you, that you remain on edge while up here. Shaking and shivering from anxiety and cold temperature alike.
