Peace

As it is, Trump won't have much impact on the skyline at all. It's sandwiched inbetween the 2 biggest/tallest buildings in the CBD, and dwarfed by both of them.

Don't forget BA, not the tallest, but it will do a good job of blooking out about 50 floors or so floors of Trump to the south...

steveve · #**123** Posted **Aug 27, 2009, 9:45 PM**

Well... think toronto needs more of Trump because it's the tallest building built in Toronto in a while... -just saying

Kris22 · #**124** Posted **Aug 27, 2009, 11:13 PM**

I agree that it's been quiet on this one, but now that the parking floors are done it should get more exciting!

LOL!... probably most of the buyers who bought units in the building hadn't realized the most of the north facing view would be completely dwarfed/blocked out by the Bay Adelaide Centre... Trump never included BA in their renders........ That's why it pays to be a skyscraper fanatic (to know what's going up next)... True dat one Caltrane

And a good chunk of the east facing view has always sucked because scotia plaza is right next store.... Good thing scotia plaza is further off of Adelaide street or else Trump's east view would be gone...

***And the thread will pick up once some sort of cladding goes up... THAT's when things will get interesting...

Here are some photos I took yesterday of Trump...

I have to say this thing is getting HUGE... I can hardly fit the thing in my frame... I say it's the pouring of the 11th floor now...

All photos by me: steveve

Let me know how I did and for more photos I took and posted today check out these threads...

Nice shots!.. hey in that second shot there is a open area between the 2 floors around the 7/8th floor... never noticed that! cool

steveve · #**131** Posted **Sep 29, 2009, 9:31 PM**

Here's a shot I took yesterday of Trump... Sorry for the crap image quality because it rained so I had to take it from a car...

Srry for the Crap Image Quality but it shows Trump rising... It's definitely on the 12th /13th floor...

TRUMP MOVING REALLY FAST NOW!!!! (AND NEEDS SOME SERIOUS CLADDING)

AMAZING Photos by drum118:

Look at all those little cut-outs for the windows!!!!... And those double decker floors...

steveve · #**134** Posted **Oct 6, 2009, 10:42 PM**

Here's some photos I took yesterday of Trump... It didn't rain !!!!

NOW, Trump... ***I tried 4:3 on this one because someone on UT said you can get more height coverage on Trump so it kinda fits in the frame.... I guess it worked

Here's Arnell Plaza (the new one beside BA)... The grass is REALLY green!... The plaza looks like a pretty nice place to hang out at... I was the only one there for some reason (it's usually busy) so it was real awkward and windy...

So how's the progress on this building now? It must be over 12 floors now...

Pretty much done the 12th... so about 13 floors...

***So far Trump has only done around 2 floors a month.. Lets hope this changes (the Ritz does about a floor a week)

Hey Guys!

I was bored (again) so I decided to do some really rough sketches...

I CAN'T remember who took this REALLY nice shot but who ever it is I hope they don't mind.... THE PHOTO WAS NOT TAKEN BY ME!

In this picture I (ESTIMATED) outlines for Trump, Ritz, and a REALLY bad one for Aura (just to see what it will block off and the height it will appear at)... (for aura I think it could look taller from this angle but i tried my best

)

*due to Ritz being further away... I think it will look almost at par with RBC from this shot...

PHOTO NOT BY ME... sketch is though...

Complex01 · #**139** Posted **Oct 18, 2009, 1:49 AM**

Nice shot. City looks awesome...

isaidso · #**140** Posted **Oct 18, 2009, 4:55 PM**

Shangri-La would be loom large in that photo too.
