Don't forget that we are still at/around the ground level floors... These ones take the most time cause they have the highest ceilings, etc...
Trump was exactly like this for the longest time up until last month or so...

Shangri-la (in my opinion) seemed to be in a hole for the longestttttt time (probably cause it was one of the deepest toronto excavations in history).. Its been so long that i almost stop thinking about shangri-la!

guy, ill try my hand taking more night pictures tonight. if they still shit, imma buy a real dslr camera, and not use my crusty video cam to shoot photos. Even though the photos looked ok and not too dark on my laptop, I think I'll have to upgrade my operating hardware.

Tonight is date night, gotta get my ribs and wings tonight, i'll upload pictures later....

Nice updates Cal! Hope you enjoyed those wings+ribs of yours
I'm really startin to pay attention to the adelaide street wall and trump! All along we've been watching the street wall on Bay when in theory, trump makes a larger presence along adelaide!

And there's no real need for a proffessional camera at the moment... (***unless you're a night prowler or somethin )

My camera can't do night photos well for so i stick to taking photos during the day! it's all good that way -imo

Great updates Cal!

Man does the roof of this thing look ugly! Can't wait for this thing to get wrapped up and clad in something!

Is this roof really gonna be hollow inside? that would make a great restaurant or observation deck...

Hypnotoad also provided some SERIOUSLY EPIC updates for MLS!

I've never seen MLS look so slim/tall! They will go together just fine with ICE!
If you ask me, these towers look very different depending on where you're standing!

No, I think thats how their gonna look. I wish they looked a bit more refined as well. If there is a lighting feature at night that may be a redeeming quality.... maybe.

In Caltrane's 5th shot (the one of Trump from a distance) you can really get an awesome height comparison against Bay Adelaide and Scotia (even though scotia is further away)! It looks like Trump is nearly half the height of BA!!! I had no idea it was that tall already!
