Off the roof/off the building/over the edge

(A guy is on the rooftop of a tall building.)

Angry, he grabs a chair and throws it off the roof/off the building/over the edge.


What would be most natural to write here? It doesn't have to be one of my suggestions. Thanks.

As usual, your first try is again the best. I'd use 'off the roof' or 'over the edge'. 'building' doesn't work for me.
