Regardless, is the whole ramp eventually going to be lit like this?

i believe this u Tube song says it all about this tower..... And Pittsburgh too.

BVic......Thank you
Harry C.....Thank you...also

I am grateful that you guys have the time for this while "Voyers" like me appreciate your pictures immensely.

I live down the street from Trump and I am too busy sometimes just to take a gander over there.

So, I am grateful to the both of you....

yeah it looks even better in person. I am pleasantly surprised how cool it looks.

^ Yeah, caught a glimpse of it down Kinzie last night - it is very exciting. It could easily become the defining evening feature of that area.

You know, "The Parking Ramp District." Very trendy.

Seriously though, it does create a kind of atmosphere.

Semi-interesting note: according to the latest pictures and the floor data on Emporis, the core is up to 529' now and the main structure is up to 516'. It must have passed 500' in July.

OK these are the last of my ramp pics but it really does look awesome.....

For those of you that are interested, JReb originally mentioned that Discovery Channel's 'Build it Bigger' was on site filming and would air sometime in September. Here is the info from Discovery Channel.com

Sep 11, 10:00 pm

(60 minutes)
Build It Bigger
High Risk Tower
TV-PG (L)

Host Danny Forester goes inside the building of Trump's Tower in Chicago, not your ordinary super-skyscraper. This one is made entirely of reinforced concrete, making it the tallest formwork structure on the planet.

^9/11, interesting date to air it.

The ramp lighting looks awesome. Sorry to ask again, but does the tower itself actually have any kind of lighting scheme?

Yea I thought the same thing...

in my third picture you can also see the parking space lines have been drawn on the second level.

DUBAI2015 · #**940** Posted **Aug 8, 2007, 2:55 AM**

Wait. The whole bottom half of the first setback is parking space?
