I believe its 21 to be exact... But they pour a floor every 6 days so it might be 22 today (march 13th)...

Either way... its still 20-ish !

no problem.... For some reason Trump is the only skyscraper u/c in Toronto that i have to use the 4:3 ratio for shooting... It's just to big and close to the ground right now!

When it reaches the half way mark, i'm sure we'll be getting more far-away shots!

I really like how the builders and designers of Trump and BAC incorporated a heritage style fascia on these buildings to better integrate them with the rest of the older structures downtown...I wish more buildings were done this way (mind you, they did do this with one of the new big condo buildings in the byward market here in Ottawa)...

I second that!

The Historic Bay St. may soon be extinct one day (especially with the new proposal at Bay/Temperance!... the designers of Bay Adelaide and Trump stuck with the historic design at street level then exploded with modernism higher up!

I wonder if they will be 3/4 of the way up to the roof in terms of floor count by the end of the summer, or the fall...looks like the building is already 1/3 vertical...

Entirely possible... we'll definitely get there at this current rate (a floor every 6 days)... I think we're at 22 floors now so by the end of september we'll be most likely be over 40 stories!

Should be done in time for the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. Toronto will be crazy with skyscraper construction at that time..

Ummm, I'd say it's been crazy for the last 5 years, and shows little sign of slowing up...

Well... at least the hotel portion of it! but there's not alot of tourist attractions in the financial district which is why trump has always faced competition from the Ritz, Shangri-la, and Four Seasons...

But for the luxery, Trump will probably be #1 in TO.

Trump looks like its almost half the height of the Bay Adelaide Centre as you can see in Caltrane's last shot!

Great work!
