Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

[41stfloor]

They are just starting to pour the floor for the central portion and eastern half of what appears to be the 12th floor (11th level, hotel rooms). I had previously thought that the floor plate had now stepped in about 6-10 feet on the south side, but it now looks like this was just my misunderstanding of the placement of the perimeter support columns - they are placed inward on the floor plate. See the pictures I posted yesterday for a better view of this.

...meanwhile, the Trump Tower in Dubai was recently cancelled and work halted. I think Dubai is getting a lot of new 'stumps'.

No surprise about Dubai. Way overbuilt.

You can see the columns spacing starting to change on the east side, but not that clear so far on the north side.

VERY nice shots!!!!!

CAN CLADDING PLEASE COME A LITTLE FASTER??!!!!!

 

[whatever]

Should be around three more weeks for cladding

 

[Edward]

Can't wait to see the cladding. This will make or brake the project.

 

[41stfloor]

Let's hope there are no brakes on it!

Didn't someone say that trump's Dubai project got canned? LOL funny because I just saw an ad for the project here.

However, looks like they have the floor count wrong for Trump Tower - maybe they were looking at old materials.

Your link isn't working.

Hmm. That was a cut and paste from AG's post in the BAC thread. Here's one direct from the source: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/14/realestate/commercial/14toronto.html?hpw

Well, Trump World Tower in NY is described as having 90 floors, but is really only 72 (if you stand outside and count). Trump loves to over-market his building as being taller then they really are by "artificially" removing floors. Maybe he'll do the same here by labelling the top floor as the 70th in the elevator...

He's not the only one though. Take a look at the Time Warner Center in NY which is described as being 80 stories tall but only has 55.

The worst villain though is "39 Conduit" in Hong Kong. This new luxury building is described as having 88 floors but really only has 40. Incidentally, this building just sold a LPH unit for USD$57M (which is on the 39th floor but listed in the elevator as 68th!).
