Great looking signage!

Agreed!! I like how the Thomson Reuters brackets run along the ‘seams’ to match the horizontal seams below the signage. Very clean.

PE, what are the prices for those Vancouver units?

Cheaper than Toronto...

I heard somewhere that the city is starting to comment on applications that they don't want balconies wider than 1.5 metres.. so good luck with that!

Yep, we just had that. Bad.

The 1br I posted above has almost 250sf of outdoor space, augmented with these features. Toronto developers just...wouldn't.

It's worth noting, in that vein, that we're touching 260sf units here...

This is in Metrotown (Burnaby), not downtown Vancouver, so the spaces are bigger.
It's yet to be seen how those moveable glass enclosures hold up over time or whether they become a liability.
Not sure if that would be a strata (condo) responsibility or an owner repsonsibility.
The deep balconies definitely help with sun shading and allow floor to ceiling windows set back in the shade.

Concord has similarly deep balconies at their Brentwood project:

Will remove if this is a privacy issue! But some office space is already built out:

When will Reuters start moving in ? Summer ? albeit their initial announcement was supposed to be early 2021

Some of the balconies at Concord's Canada House on Spadina reasonable, or parts of them. Some are as narrow as any other…

Love the way this building looks on a sunny day. Can't wait to see how that bulge at the northeast corner looks once they get there!

There is fancy lighting installed in the office portion. Must be opening earlier than tower. Also hadn’t noticed the very large window on the west side of the podium. Photos taken 7 February.
