It looks raised, as if they're currently using it to do window washing?

It's just a redo of the entire stretch with new curbs, sidewalk and pavement. Nothing overly fancy but would look nice and clean.

Really nice photo! I really like how the Trump Tower actually looks taller than the Shangri-La from certain areas of the city (i.e. West on Georgia coming from Stanley Park)

I noticed in the Stanley Park entrance photo that new, designer lamp posts had been installed there.
On a close-up viw on The TT istelf, I observed that the current, utilitarian posts are still in place.
I hope the trend to stylize down lighting continues, above all, down Georgia Street, the heart of downtown, of which the Twist is a major player.

My last update ever from this view taken last week. Too bad that I didn't have the chance to see Trump and 745 Thurlow being completed.

Is it just me or does the mechanical penthouse seem "short" or "streamlined"?

Yup - it's "well integrated" probably because the penthouses have their own private elevators to their 2nd floors (located away from the core), so much of the central core's elevator overrun can be housed on the 2nd penthouse level.

i find the top looks a little unresolved. like it's chopped off or something.

i noticed the other day just how high the balcony glass is - obscenely high.
assuming this construction guy is average height, it goes up to your head! i would feel like i'm in a fishbowl. these are the condos floors not the hotel.
