I remember going to his exhibit when it was at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2018. A lot of his work is just very colourful in general. Whether there's a LGBTQ narrative, I have no idea.

Yes, this artwork and variation of flower petal colours has been in circulation for several years now. This page has it noted from at least 2019.
My interpretation of the usage of colours is just to be bright and joyful.

Found an ad for this in an odd location up on Annette near Quebec Street in The Junction, today:

The branding is everywhere for this. Rumor is they want $2K/ft for it so they're going to need all the luck to get any traction in this market...

Studios: Starting at $569,900
1 Bedrooms: Starting at $969,900
2 Bedrooms: Starting at $1,069,900
3 Bedrooms: Starting at $1,956,900
Smallest unit for sale is 275 sq. ft.
Who in their right mind would pay that much:
1. In this economy
2. In a Freed building. Let's be honest, Freed's buildings don't really inspire high quality.

275 sq. ft. for over half a million? I might as well live on the streets.

The unit in question:

Take the bed out and it could be confused with a foyer to the actual condo.

Is there any legislation that puts a 'floor' on the smallest unit size?
RyanD

Yes and no. There is a floor on living/sleep/dining area but not a minimum bathroom as I'm aware. If the structure required it the Freed shower could be smaller and you could probably get down to 260 sft.

This type of thing applies to dorms, hostels, and rooming houses with shared washrooms too.
It's largely up to the market to decide they won't purchase something.

I like the concept at CityPlace but all that was done was installing coloured lights to the mechanical penthouse levels which at certain angles, and especially seen from other condos, highlights the not so attractive mechanical equipment and other stuff inside. Adding a simple frosted film (or in my opinion a smartly designed frit pattern) to the glazing would have better emphasize these “artistic” elements and tied all of these buildings together. I always find that these illuminated mechanical penthouses are like a not so thought out afterthought and the overall appearance to be very weak. It was a missed opportunity to do something nice and cool, I love art but I don’t find this artistic nor impactful.
