Ya i can agree to that. I have windows open 24/7/365. You hear more street noise, but nothing like semi fresh toronto air. Feel less cluster phobic.

i agree
!!!! SSP and UT united!!!And regarding windows opening, personally, I'm an air conditioning kinda person (don't hate me for it... i do go outside often
), but having the option to open windows is a very nice option...... But in the summer in high humidity, i would NOT open my windows/step out on my terrace 800 feet up!.. the heat would be CRAZY up there!

It's actually better higher up, as you don't have the heat from the pavement and asphalt as much, plus there is almost always a breeze higher up.

The reason it doesn't appear "dwarfed" in that image, is because of the perspective. However when not looking at height from any angle or perspective, it is definitely dwarfed in sheer size.i don't think it appears dwarfed from Adelaide, close to Bay.

i said it before and i will say it again, it's gonna be nice seeing the trump tower and it's shape instead of medium sized box towers!!!!

the spire is the only thing that can save this building.

I don't really mind it being dwarfed.... it compliments the skyline more than anything, and doesn't try to go to such extreme heights, given the size of the footprint it's working on... the onion dome sets a nice pinnacle in the bunch!
And regarding open windows and such, i'd actually feel extremely awkward even setting foot on my terrace... office workers from FCP know that "that's the #$%& who owns that penthouse"....

Iron workers were still going at it at 9:30 pm as you could hear the hammering going on as it hit the steel.
I am the tallest here.

photos like these make me wonder why people hate this building so much... when was the last time Toronto got anything even close to this cool.
haters gonna hate.
trolls gonna troll 
Steveve, the whole "haters gonna hate" thing means nothing, and it's beneath you really. You're a pretty smart kid and the city model is as impressive as hell, and a bunch of us like you a lot… so do yourself a favour and take the high road and accept that others may not share your view of the Trump Tower, and that is not simply because they are "haters". No-one is calling you stupid names; you should return that favour.
That said, Cruzin - that's a great shot. The composition's terrific, and the colour of the light is one beyond perfect. That pic goes to 11.

hi thanks! I've actually been around since the ezBoard days, but only post occasionally.
(I had over 100 posts at one point but I guess the post counter got reset)question: will the spire be comprised of the entire steel structure that we see now, or is some of the structure just there for support during construction and will be removed before completion?

The boxy portion on the very corner is temporary.

Funny that you go after Steveve for this all the time but ProjectEnd is coddled and validated.

Wow.. epic photos, Drum!! I sometimes forget how large the dome is, I couldn't even see those workers w/in the frame til I stared at it for a good minute lol
I see the spire's support has been put into place. Can't wait to see that spire rise!!
