Wish the balcony railings were cobalt in colour.

^ Yeah, it would have been nice if they tied the name of the building into the building finishes somehow.

Maybe its the photos, but the passageway into the inner courtyard doesnt look as inviting as the Mercury block I. Regardless, great project, really like the risk taking of having the inner courtyard retail on both buildings, helps create a more interesting city experience of having some stuff be a bit out of the ordinary, out of the way, and altogether different. Nice to have things hidden away sometimes and happened upon. Made by Marcus on whyte is a good example of that

How about NO MORE STUCCO on any commercial or multi-family residential projects. It looks cheap and ages horribly.

This and Mercury 1 are great projects. 20 more like it please!

Yes, that is a great idea. It would have been distinctive, added a bit character and fit with well with the name.

Couldn't agree more. Similar to the Red stairs at Mercury Block across the street, the exposed stairway at the side of the building is a Cobalt blue!

Hard disagree. You can stroll through dozens of European cities where most multi-family buildings are clad in stucco and they look great, as long as they're well-designed and well-maintained. Lots of Edmonton buildings have used stucco poorly, but this one looks very good (if not quite great).

Stucco = dollar store, big box retail. Yuck!

Dollar store, like... most of Notting Hill or Pimlico?
