Our visit to the Trump International Hotel and Tower ends today with a trip up to the 46th storey (or 47th floor) of the project, and the views, hinted at of course in our earlier articles, are pretty spectacular. The proximity of Trump to neighbouring buildings plays off the mid-distance and distant horizon views taken in with a quick turn of the head, or indeed all at once depending where one looks, for an amazing cityscape outstretched before you. Our opening shot below looks towards the northwest corner of the building, and we will rotate to the right around the tower from there.

Looking directly north we get Trump's closest neighbour, the west and first tower of the Bay Adelaide Centre. City Hall figures in the lower left corner.

Looking up we see KPMG's 51st floor sign which shines rather brightly at night. Once residents move into Trump we expect the City will force the sign to be turned off at night, and possibly be removed altogether.

Looking east from this spot we can see a loading platform extending from the 46th storey, ready to receive any materials the crane may lift.

The view from the east side. The Beach, and the Upper Beach, and the North Upper Beach, or whatever you call it, is leafy green in the distance.
