Looks like it's getting pretty close to topping out. Unless they add to the crane.

It's only going to be 28 feet shorter than Shangri-La so must be another 5 or 6 stories to go

Great looking building, I dub it as the "Mini Shanghai Tower".

Glass on the balconies! Makes the twist look so much more prominent.

It's a beautiful looking tower, I must say. I like how it and the Shangri-La compliment eachother. Shangri-La with it's rigid straight lines and Trump with sleek, curved edges. Nice 1-2 punch on the Vancouver skyline.

Looks great!

PS - with your pics, the Flickr coding you are using contains an [IMG] code in it, so you don't need to add it when you post.

Today just before 4pm. I was at Georgia & Thurlow and as carefully as I could,
I counted the floors, but the ground ones are difficult to see, and like previous attempts, I made the boarded-up window at about 32, so they're at 55 now.
I believe there are 4 more to go, making total of 59 actual floors, not counting those 8 ghost stories which will make 67 as per Skyscraper thread title. Then there's the roof. Looking most impressive.

Based on the Trump website rendering, there are seven more residential floors, plus the mechanical penthouse, to go.

Incorrect. According Holborn there are 9 more floors left including the penthouse to go.

But according to that, the bldg. will be 57 stories? Good grief Charlie Brown, does anyone know the correct total???? Even on their render, I still count either 59 or 60. C'mon, if there are still 9 to go, it will be taller than Shangri-La (altho I hope you're right)
I'm still going with my prognostication: 4 more plus the roof.
