Not sure why, as it would make it easier for someone to cross to the next balcony. Could be to reduce wind resistance on the unanchored corner, to reduce window washer ropes from getting caught, or maybe to allow neighbours to speak to each other.

The front corner is cut at an angle.

They're in both your shots and Marcus_a_j's shots. At first I thought it was a creative watermark. I guess they'll be hoisted to the top level.

Thanks for the background and sleuthing! I wonder if they are still going with those spotlights?

Wait, so those letters are real?

Agreed. Given the boldness/thickness of the sweeping panels, the rim of the mouth seems a bit understated. It could be that the inset balcony area will be brightly lit at night.

Beautifully matched marble.

Might have been nicer if there was more contrast with the inside of the "mouth", than just the green versus blue, but I see a white border, so that'll frame it.
