I don't believe that building huge shuls in Galut is problematic. They will be transferred to E"Y eventually anyway.

TY for the comment. To blend in with all the TALL TOWERS ? What is the Torah Gemara source for the transfer of golus shuls to Eretz Yisrael? Please provide. And also if you can, give a source for the Towers. TY Rabbi Winston has told us that those living in E Y will be able to ‘fly’. So maybe we won’t need elevators in those sky scrapers?

Megillah 29a:

תניא, רבי אלעזר הקפר אומר, עתידין בתי כנסיות ובתי מדרשות שבבבל שיקבעו בארץ ישראל, שנאמר (ירמי' מו, יח) "כי כתבור בהרים וככרמל בים יבא", והלא דברים ק"ו, ומה תבור וכרמל שלא באו אלא לפי שעה ללמוד תורה נקבעים באר"י, בתי כנסיות ובתי מדרשות שקורין ומרביצין בהן תורה, על אחת כמה וכמה

“ will be established in the Land of Israel, as it is said (Jeremiah 40:18)” this says ‘established’ not flown via the sky and clouds and land in Eretz Yisrael. You may mean an aggadah or wishful thinking. We the Jews/Settlers of reestablished Land of Eretz Yisrael need to begin the process of building and Moshiach will complete the process. In my opinion it’s a two-way process.
Maybe the ivrit uses a different term? The English translation is ‘established’.
Further : שיקבעו (she-yikbe'u): "That they establish," "settle," or "determine their place" (from the root kuf-bet-ayin).
