East Face - Looking up from L33 Balcony
I'm just glad this tower isn't greyish glass, with grey spandrel and grey painted aluminum trim. I'm so glad when I actually see some colour or full on black. I hope our grey fixation, soon comes to an end.
If you look closely at the SW corner, you can see the setback for the L54 terrace.
The ceilings are not taller. That's just an optical illusion because of the SW terrace setback. There is a setback at the NE corner, also for a terrace. You can see this if you follow the north face. It stops abruptly about 1/3 of the way to the east. That's where the north terrace begins.
There are large concrete beams at the NW that have been poured / formed, which are there to take the load of the dome / spire. The onion dome sits on that section at the NW.
Pretty close. The building is going to continue straight up from L54 at all points, until L56, where there will be another area of terraces, accomplished by stepping back on every side. That super penthouse level has a terrace that wraps around the entire building (minus the Onion Dome / Spire section). After that, it'll continue straight up L56, 57 & 58, which is the aluminium clad part with the "TRUMP" logo.
Uh, I can't recall off-hand. But the tower crane is scheduled for removal in October, and this is a requirement for construction of the spire/dome. So ... sometime after that
