Two open windows. View attachment 582806
yes, but not in the form of private balconies. In this case the condo has access to shared rooftop amenity which is all the City cares about.Such an odd choice to go with windows like that and not balconies. I understand you'll get more square footage. But I would think buyers would also want some outdoor space.
Also, doesn't planning usually push for a minimum of private outdoor space per unit?
Balconies destroy the architecture of most buildings unless done right (and 99% of the time they are not). This building would look horrible with balconies. I am saying that as a purchaser in this development (we will see if I ever actually get to close) who would rather live in good architecture than have 50 ft2 for a chair .Such an odd choice to go with windows like that and not balconies.

I mean, that's certainly an opinion. I've lived in a condo without a balcony and it gets very claustrophobic in my opinion. Even just a 50 sq ft balcony with enough room for a chairBalconies destroy the architecture of most buildings unless done right (and 99% of the time they are not).

I don't have a balcony, but would love one if only to grow a few herbs and space for a table and chairs to eat dinner in the fresh air.I mean, that's certainly an opinion.

Lol! My current condo has a small balcony that fits 2 chairs comfortably and I hardly use it tbh. We have a great rooftop pool and outdoor leisure space that I find much more useful. If I really want to be outside though, I find living in a good neighbourhood with great parks and cafes a must. Now a giant terrace outside my living room doors........ that's another story, but they tend to only be available at the top of luxury boutique midrise buildings.I mean, that's certainly an opinion.
