Reply With QuoteWill the spire count in the "official height" of this building?
Given that foundation work has begun, how many extra floors could be added at this stage, and what would the maximum roof height be?Originally Posted by tonyo

No more floors will be add. The floor count stands at 92 stories, and the maximun roof height is 1,125'
It's being debated, but I don't see why it won't be. I'm 99% sure that the spire will be included in the official height. You can't count the spires on some buildings and not include them on others. How fair or unfair would that be?
Height to roof - 1,125'
Height to tip of spire - 1,360'

These are photos of the construction that's taking place at the Trump Tower Chicago site. I took these pictures Wednesday April 20, 2005.
Thanks for those amnazing construction site pics... I was in chicago like in november... is amazing how fast this is going... Good for my second favorite city in the USA.... Chicago!
Great news. Cool pics, the size of that metal tubing! the one with the picture of the construction worker and that thing really shows how big it is.
These are the most recent rendering of Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago that are availiable. I received these renderings from a person at Skidmore Owings & Merill which are the archirects of this project. There have been some minor changes, including an enhancement of the vertical expression.
Looking south down Wabash Avenue.
A skyline view.
GREAT JOB!!!!
Simply Amazing Tower... Wow it sure is changing the skyline. Go Trump! Go Chicago!
AGreed. Greta job! Amazing tower, really improves the skyline!!! I was in Chicago this month and loved it! Also, my 2nd fav city!
One thing this clumsy design does is make Gwathmey's Astor Place look like a work of sheer genius.
If you're going to stack a lame version of Erich Mendelsohn's Schocken Department Store, then why not just stack Erich Mendelsohn's Schocken Department Store?
I like it! I need check out Chicago soon.
Trump Tower Height Adjustment
Myself along with several other members of Emporis got the opportunity today to get a brief look at the blueprints for Trump International Hotel & Tower chicago today in the Bovis construction trailer. You guys might be happy with these numbers
Roof height: 1130' 10"
Structural (to the top of the structural screen): 1171' 0"
Tip (top of the spire): 1361' 6"
There will be 4 lower levels
I'm sure that we will make several treks back to the construction trailer throughout construction.
