There is no ducting requirement for Daikin VRV IV -- again, check it out. From a power requirement the system is extremely efficient. Of course in any upgrade there are plenty of items on a wish list. Everybody knows that. i am just saying that it is doable.
Those are all things (as developer) that I would want. I would spec an LSM-propelled elevator (no machine room requirement and on a "going down" cycle would recoup some of the power needed for "going up"); there are great battery storage systems that could be placed in out-of-the-way locations and that would then store enough juice to provide power over a week or 10-days -- i.e. no old-school emergency generator; electrical upgrade is a given -- a solar roof installation could also be fashioned in such a way as to provide a roof-top garden shelter. Solar would not manage electrical requirements for the entire project but it could be specially designed along with the battery system to operate the elevator sustainably. Dry-stack sprinklers could be of the drop-down head variety so that they are not visually offensive. And new Plumbing stacks? -- heck, I would be looking at completely reconfigured floors with new kitchens, new bathrooms, open-plan living spaces -- a 100% interior makeover with soundproof floors and soundproof demising walls. On a project like this there is no half-way solution. This could be the loftiest of loft solutions -- maybe reducing occupancy to 6 high-end luxury condos circling the $2.5-million+ per unit resale figure. Again, quiet street with a strong pedestrian appeal and a river valley view to die for.

Beware—if BLK99 is the 'good' one, those renders are old.
Is it worse or better than the old renders?
I like both, personally. BLK99 slightly more due to this mixed use.
