Hmmm, sounds reassuring, especially the financing part. It'll be an interesting couple of months for the Trump tower. I am not overly excited as of now, but shovels in the ground will certainly get the adrenaline flowing. :eek
 
^Even them, who knows...

It could be that Trump equals Stump (part 2).
 
Re: Four Seasons

Has the construction paperwork for Trump been filed?
 
So folks, here is an announcement today from CNW. Looks like the tower is a go as of mid year. I doubt that they would hire people to do this if there was nothing going up. One step closer and one less doubt for all the nay sayers. I look forward to seeing this go up cause it will prove many people wrong who have been doubting that it will ever happen.

Hey Bermuda, here is the press release...

TORONTO, Feb. 8 /CNW/ - Talon International Development Inc. today
announced that renowned construction management firm Lewis Builds has joined
the Trump International Hotel & Tower, Toronto development team. Lewis Builds
will provide pre-construction management services for the historic Trump Tower
slated to begin construction in mid-2007.
"We are thrilled to add the expertise of Lewis Builds to our development
team," said Mr. Val Levitan, President and CEO of Talon International
Development Inc. "Their depth of technical leadership in high-rise
residential, commercial, and custom design home-building is a perfect fit for
the unique design and construction challenges our building presents."
"The greatest challenge to constructing Trump Toronto will be the
extremely tight site logistics in the densely populated Bay-Adelaide area,"
says Lewis Builds' Project Director, Mr. Mark Garland, a well known
international master of construction who has overseen construction for
projects totaling tens of millions of square feet in Canada, the United States
and New Zealand. "We feel uniquely qualified to meet such a challenge -
perhaps better than anyone in the city." Mr. Garland is also a member of the
prestigious Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
Mr. Garland believes Lewis Builds' full-service collaborative approach
will greatly benefit the project, "our international background in
pre-construction and hi-rise construction management, attention to the finest
detail, and our ability to anticipate and avoid problems will help to keep
this amazing building on-budget and delivered on-time in 2010."
Lewis Builds Corporation is an independently owned Canadian full-service
construction company serving the Greater Toronto Area and Canada. Managed
locally by Mr. Albert Chow, Lewis Builds is affiliated with the firm Lease
Crutcher Lewis, a 120 year old general contractor operating in the United
States. Lewis Builds offices are located in Toronto, Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland. Recent projects include: Pacific Place, Washington Mutual Tower,
Seaboard Building and the Four Seasons Hotel & Residences in Seattle; Avalon
Hotel, Spa & Condominiums in Portland; and Pure Spirit Condominiums and Yee
Hong Garden Terrace in Toronto.
Located in the heart of Toronto's financial and entertainment districts,
the $500-million Trump International Hotel & Tower, Toronto will be the
tallest residential building in the city when completed.
Remaining hotel condominium suites are currently priced from CAD $800,000
and residential suites start at CAD $1.5 million.

Re: Four Seasons

if mid 2007 is true, the downtown core is going to look absolutely awful for a while, especially that bay-adelaide corner, with all the construction going on.
but what a sight it will be in just a few short years. un.real.
 
It makes me wonder how they're going to fit a crane on trump's area while bay-adelaide is right across the street pretty much.. lol.. as well if sapphire tower happens too in the next yr or two that's another crane a block away.

I look forward to the start on Trump :)
 
I can't help but think, that the Trump Tower would have already been half built if it were in a better location.
 
Seems like the latest of many publicity builders. I've never seen so many announcements for new companies coming on. What next, real gold handles on the toilets. Im sure that will be the next press release.
 
Re: Four Seasons

Maybe we'll get Stump II: Trump the Stump (or is it Stump the Trump?).
 
Re: Four Seasons

EllisDon was announced as the construction management firm a couple of years ago. I guess they got tired of waiting.
 
Well, whether you like the building or not, a 1000-footer is significant.
