Dadurch entstand eine aufgelockerte Silhouette des großen Baumkomplexes.
Context importat - the sentence it's in doesn't eplain much, but this is about a big department store built to fit into an area of older, smaller buildings visually. It therefore has several smaller roof peaks so as to fit into the roofscape.
One feels this is probably a typo for "Baukomplex", but as a few examples of "Baumkomplex" crop up on the web I'm not entirely sure. E. g.:
http://www.meppen.de/staticsite/staticsite.php?menuid=10&top...
No literal trees (oaks, pines etc.) are mentioned in the text.

The "m" was probably a typo.
