Agreed. I just hope that Jasper/123 goes forward and that we see additional density added east and west of 124st from Jasper to 111 Avenue to support a more vibrant street, as it still is not quite there.

A few 4-8 story buildings right on 124st will do so much for it. I bet we see 1 in the next few years at least.

Seems like value engineering to me. If I was a prospective resident, I'd be a little disappointed I couldn't sit on a balcony, overlooking the plaza in a wind-free environment. I think a lot of people would be attracted by having a balcony facing the plaza. By no means a dealbreaker for this building being an architectural success, but does come across as a little cheap. Even the Ancient Romans had balconies, as per the photo above :)

And so what if it is 'value-engineering'. If a balcony is important to a particular tenant they they'll make the choice to rent it. If not, then they'll be fine with a juliette. Personal choice.
 
Some people really like balconies, for others it doesn't really matter much. I used to live in a building where there were fairly big balconies that oddly very few people used.

Even though its entire exterior finish is mostly stucco? (no need to reply -- it is a rhetorical question -- I personally believe that stucco is an acceptable finish and put to good use on this building -- just pointing out the irony of other supporters for this structure).
