okay,
So level 57 is the top floor of the super-penthouse,
Level 58 is the TRUMP logo area (i guess mechanical?)
and Level 59 is basically as high as you can go on the building (rooftop i guess... the area behind the dome

any idea what the super penthouse floors will be clad in? (is it the same glass or granite of some sort)

Yeah, exactly. The super penthouses start at L54.

The blue area that you see on that drawing is going to be clad in aluminium. This starts at L56, where this is a large setback for a patio area. What exactly that aluminium material look like, I do not know. The glass on the dome itself is going to match-up with glass on the rest of the building leading up to it. The public art glass will carry all the way up the NW corner to the spire itself.

So what are those last 2 floor heights...cause regarding height this thing is just not cutting it for me.

The slab of L58 is at 231.845.

The L59 roof is at 236.505.

The base of the roof spire is 252.035.

The top of the roof spire is 276.885

okay wopchop, so the top portion of trump (super penthouse areas), won't look like the top of the building depicted in this drawing:

Its starting to look like it will resemble the original version (obviously before it got chopped down) than the following building renders.

Trump Photos from this afternoon!
I think we can all say that this tower IS the height of the bay adelaide centre!!! (give or take 3-4 feet hehe)

From afar:

There is absolutely zero chance that they will be adding "a couple more floors".

And there you have it, the hopes and dreams of UT forum members have been crushed.

They are temporary replacement panels. The proper glass will be installed later when we go back to reglaze all the other broken windows / granite.

So no, they were not mismatched on purpose I believe that I might have mentioned earlier that any mismatched cladding that you see is temporary. Can't recall.

Was just about to post this.

I certainly didn't see this one coming. I had a feeling I would be outraged by his #1 choice... but to be honest, I'm really not.

I find Trump Toronto to be 'ungainly' rather than ugly, per se. If nothing else it conveys some boldness and drama at this location, and some kitschy-ness. The glass and materials are quite good too... so worst building of the 21st century? There are just so many others to choose from that Hume's focus on Trump seems like a bit of a bitch slap.
