Smoked glass too expensive? This looks cheap and uncoordinated with the curtain wall.

Is that standard suburban deck railing? If so, disappointing.

Essentially the same balcony railings as The Fox's and Icons. On par for Lameham...errr Langham

Gotta remember that these units are serving purchasers and renters who are looking for function over form. If it means maintaining affordable prices in the core and getting more people into the area, I'm all for it.

Somebody at Langham 20 years ago found a screaming deal on railing at Uncle Weiners Surplus Liquidation and scooped it ALL up.Looks like the same stuff on my patio here in Icon 1…..
Edit: for those who are wondering that is a legit liquidation place on the west side and freaking awesome. lol

Were we really expecting better from the people that brought us such architectural masterpieces as the Icons and Foxes?
I know this website rewards posts that look at things glass-half-full, but how do you know this? It's unclear how affordable these rentals will be as far as I'm aware and if it's keeping with market averages or even higher, then it's not going to do much to keep things (relatively affordable) with our growth rates. And regardless of affordability, do you know that the future residents of the Falcon Towers actually don't care that their building is ugly so long as it's functional? While I'm sure a functional unit is a top priority for future tenants, I doubt many would turn their nose up at having a beautiful building to call home. How do we know those who wind up in Falcon wouldn't go for something else if there was a broader range of options in nicer looking buildings? Langham's advertising for Falcon emphasizes its architectural quality and its renderings purposefully obfuscate the cheap punched windows look by keeping it behind rendered shimmery balconies. So they're clearly trying to attract a certain discerning clientele.

Nothing shocking with the outcome fore me. This is just as what I had envisioned the outcome would look like.

Exactly what I expected from this company. How I wish another company would embrace 104st as much as Langham has.
As usual, of course this is better than the parking lot its replacing and adds more residents DT, that's all great. I just want better design, which is likely possible without much extra cost (I say while not being in the industry, of course
)

Am I missing something or do these (unfinished) balconies look exactly the same as other recent builds in the City? Not sure what the fuss is about.
