It wont be anywhere near as nice as Shangri-La or 4S, but it should be good.

Honestly right now, it looks pretty good.

Street level signage, not tower signage.

Wow!! this cladding is amazing!!!

Super Premium Cladding.

This is all I can say. - I have not been this excited since, Shangrila Toronto and Four Seasons Toronto.

Last time I walked by One Bloor - they were destroying the dirt ramp.

I think they hit the lowest parking floor now, so concrete and foundation should be starting shortly.

no, they still have a while to go. they are moving the dirt ramp over, so they can pile & dig out the old ramp. One bloor will have 6 or 7 levels of parking, and I think they are currently at 5.

I'm quite pleased however, calling it super premium cladding is a tad overblown don't you think? What you're also impyling is hardly fair to either Four Seasons or Shangri-la.

flat out epic. Trump and Shangri-la are perfect additions. they add density, and contrast to the skyline.

Ice I had hoped they would use glass like that but deep down thought they would go Concord on us. Nice. Thank-you Lanterra.

Looks like they are testing the lower (completed) half of the LED on Trump Tower Toronto.

though they pulled through with the cladding, I am still worried that they will cheapen out on us for the swiss-cheese top.

Some choice quotes from UT last December starting on this page:

With regards to the renderings of the roof planes made available to the public, the final architectural plan from aA which feature a more distinctive and enclosed mechanical level will further explain their application for increased elevation beyond the two residential levels.
