Disgusting. The building should never have been approved in the first place.

I don't know if those are panels or precast on the mechanical box, but I'd never noticed how rough it looked. Things don't look aligned at all, I can see in the photo where things are crooked or stepped. And if it's showing up in a picture from that distance I can only imagine what it looks like up close.

My guess: Trades express their bitterness in their workmanship.

The stone panels along the alleyway south of the project are all out of alignment as well. It looks like they didn't even try to make the parts fit properly.

At this point in the game, I really rather agree with you. I am not offended as others are with the tower design or the mast which is supposed to be lighted now. I am turned off completely by the treatment at ground level. It is anti urban as anything can possibly get, and that alone should have been a red flag in the approval process.

Exactly how I feel. When walking around it, you get the feeling that the tower has it's back turned to you. In no way interested in being a part of the city. How could this building have been approved? Who let it get approved? Were the issues of the public realm of the building not brought up?

This wouldn't even be fatal if it had hooked into the PATH, but they didn't even get that right.

They can't have possibly risk having riff raff coming in from the underground! It would tarnish their image, and nobody would want to stay there. *eyeroll*

It's hard to believe that such a prominent project could have all these issues.

The only 2 positive things I can say about TRUM is that it got rid of a parking lot and it is mostly obscured by its neighbours.

My thoughts exactly. What a terrible building (well from the outside anyway).

It's so bizzare because I recently stayed at the Trump Hotel and it truly is 5 star hotel with impeccable service.
It is like two separate worlds once you step inside.

Well, from what I've heard of occupancy rates, no one wants to stay there, anyway.
The only thing useful I've seen TRUM do for this particular corner of Downtown is attract the odd Ferrari.
