Automation - some of us have a little more inside knowledge about the inner workings of the projects you've listed and I'd hardly call "completed" equaling success or an acomplishment. Although it's nice to see him get beyond attempting projects like Sapphire that he had no business attempting and moving onto smaller niche infill projects that suit his hands on approach better.

Regarding Sapphire being a success or not, we will never know...I just think he was not given a fair shake by a lot of individuals here in Toronto. Anyways back to the Trump tower, is it safe to say they have reached the 40th floor.

completely off topic but wouldn't it have been nicer if 1 king west had been 200 meters or above, just because of how crazily skinny it is, would've been kind of fun

thats a really great shot of trump! fresh new perspective!
You guys have to appreciate how awesome these floorplanes are looking... From this angle you really can feel what the views are gonna be like! One of my favorite parts is the super-high-celing restaurant portion! It looks like it could be almost like the 16 restaurant at trump chicago offering one-of-a-kind views of the city! (in this case Bay/King!).. will there be tables part of the restaurant on the balcony? or is it too small?

Yeah, but i think its going to be more like the the other way around...mini binoculars will be part of their office supplies...

Would others agree that this design is sort of a throw-back to 80s post-modernism? I kind of like it.

Another view from the west. I'm not sure I like the building up close, but I enjoy the vivid green playing off the reddish scotia tower:

^Fantastic shot, yb. Toronto looks quite grand here, almost--dare I say--Chicago-esque.

For a building in such a prominent location, and soon to become one of the tallest in the country, it's a shame how very ugly it is.

Funny, I think it's very sleek and sexy.. Everyone has an opinion I guess.

I like it, too. But I also hear quite a bit around Scotia Plaza that people think it's ugly. Not sure why. I don't think you can judge it yet, because the top is going to balance out the bottom nicely. Plus when the lobby is done and it meets the street well, and all the windows are cleaned, it's going to look really nice.

I'm not really digging that creamy green clad though, we'll see how it looks when it's fully complete.
