What is the deal with the sections near the base that seem to be blank walls where it appears there should be windows?

Last I checked Canada was part of North America. I assume you mean the first Trump International Hotel & Tower outside of the US.

Those levels are all above ground parking so the areas that are covered are either just granite or vents... i'm not quite sure why they made it look so boxy but i guess the vents have to go somewhere...

So how much taller do they still have to go on Trump? Halfway?

in about 2 weeks (or 2 more floors) trump will hit the 30 floor mark (which is halfway for the habitable floors)

then of course the mechanical, lantern, and spire will add a lot of height to the building...

well... thats sorta mean cause these threads get kinda dead without foreign users... but nonetheless, i guess its necessary

i'd say in 1 week we'll be at the 30 floor markTrump by CML:

Notice how they've removed the black hoarding (at the top of the building) on the south side!.. anyone know why they might have done that???... bizzare...

Maybe its a setback?

true!!!! i totally forgot about setbacks.. and i think you might just be right! i faintly remember in some renderings that there were quite a few setbacks on the south side!

SUPER INSANE shot of trump by barrytron3030 over at UT:

from 52nd floor of FCP:

Man i just love how small of a footprint this building has! it just looks super sleek ! I love how close it is to bay adelaide centre! Its just crazy density over there! and if you look closely, the granite is slowly receding on the west side of the building leaving more room for glass

Looking good! It's finally really starting to assert itself with the rest of the financial district in terms of height...I mean, it's awesome to think that it's going to be a little bit taller than BAC in the not-so-distant future...

Indescribable · #**394** Posted **May 18, 2010, 1:45 AM**

It sure has a small footprint.

Posted on trumps official construction website:

MAY 5th (its a little old which is why it says 27th floor)

Trump Toronto Taking Shape – Inside and Out
Work well underway on 27th floor of tower. Several crews now onsite working on concrete pours, curtain wall installation and drywalling.
The hotel floors of the tower are almost complete with the crews currently working on level 27. While more floors are poured and the tower climbs higher, the granite and glass curtain wall is being installed. Work is also focusing on placing the exterior panels on the twelfth floor and installation is gathering pace. In fact, curtain wall installers are able to finish each floor in approximately four days. In addition, the interior drywalling of the eighth, ninth and tenth floors consecutively, is now under way.
“We continue to be thrilled about the recent developments on the site and look forward to construction starting on the residential floors in the coming weeks,” says Alex Shnaider, Chairman of Talon International Development Inc., the building’s developer. “The personality and character of the building is starting to show, and that’s a really exciting development.”
Construction crews are able to work speedily and effectively on all aspects of the building. In fact, the site of the tower is a hub of activity for up to 22 hours each day, with some shifts beginning onsite at 3:00am and other shifts finishing at 1:00am.
“With the installation of the curtain wall underway, the tower is really beginning to come into its own on Bay Street, truly taking shape as a classic, yet modern landmark in the city of Toronto,” says Val Levitan, President and CEO of Talon. “I am continually impressed at the speed in which the panels are being fastened into place and, more importantly, the look and feel of the shining, green glass walls. The exterior exudes pure luxury, and this will be like no other residential tower on the market.”
Construction work will soon be focused on completion of the hotel floors and starting the development of the mechanical floors on levels 30, 31 and 32.
