I know wopchop said the floors were all the same height from 33 to 53 but this random floor has ceilings 2 feet higher than the one below or above it. Another Trump inconsistency?

Oops, sorry. My mistake. That is a mechanical transfer floor. So all the floors from 33 to 53 (minus 47, and 35, which is only slightly taller) are the same

okay... so are there a few residential units there? or strictly mechanical?

I believe there are ... but I'm not exactly positive. My guess is that the floor will have residential units, and simply share the space with mechanical (ie. in the ceiling). The elevations indicate that it is "Residential Suites - Mechanical Transfer" so that seems to give weight to that guess. Don't quote me on that, though.

if you don't mind me asking wopchop, do you know the schedule on the floor pours and when the expect a floor-poor top off? (which will eventually lead to them assembling the onion dome)

 

[wopchop]

L58 is supposed to be done by Mid-August, so we can expect the onion dome to start up in the fall. There's a lot of stuff that needs to happen between the completion of concrete and the start of the dome (ie. dismantling the crane at the end of September), so there will definitely be a gap. Likely in October it'll start.

Trump should be fairly prominent from this angle

Taken from the southwest on Queen's Quay

I try to get some shots today from some new locations, but the hazes was too much. Will try later on. Even four season was a write off too.

Nice. You can actually see what will be Toronto's 6 tallest buildings in that narrow view.

Nice. You can actually see what will be Toronto's 6 tallest buildings in from that narrow view point.

Oh yeah... you're right. Took me a minute. to notice the reflection... FCP, Trump (debatable), Scotia, TDCT, Commerce Court, TD ...

...Aura and ICE will change that rather quickly though

August? ouch, seems like a while away... here we are at level 54, so we won't see any instant noticeable progress any time soon,
well, at least the hotel is opening soon

crazy interiors! that elevator shot looks classy! not to mention, that multi-leveled area looks grand! hopefully those hatin the outside will be shut up by the interiors!... SMACK!

That one in particular screams out "how Trump can you get"
