As seen from Macewan.

not a fan of the balcony railings… but having just done our balcony railing on the garage suite, prices are stupid right now. Those top Juliet balconies just look like they ran out of material to finish constructing a proper balcony lol

 

[northlands]

Never even noticed the juliette balconies. Wtf

 

[EtoV]

Its so strange. Everything about them is the same as the balconies below, but without the balcony...like why do they have full doors, they don't look like sliding/screen doors or anything like that? I'm sure there was some reason or design intention for how it was built the way it was, but Mattyeg is right, it literally looks like they just ran out of money to extend the balconies all the way to the top lol. Especially when it appears they only did this in two places.

It's turning out above the upper end of expectations -- interesting experiment with precast.

Eagle has quite a few projects on the go right now. Thier precast shop must be hopping.

Three things:

1. The two Juliette balconies do look odd. They likely weren't done to save money because the cost of those balconies in the grand scheme of things is nothing.
2. It doesn't seem to be turning out as bad when the original precast panels started going up.
3. Blocks the godd@mn Venetian which I've hated since its inception.

And one more, time to reopen the west side of 111 Street. Doesn't need to be fully closed anymore.

I just relooked at the initial renderings and they have been there the whole time. Curious to know what the exact idea is with them?

I just think at that height if you fall off the balcony you could really hurt yourself, so in the name of safety best to not have balconies on top floor.

Better than nothing and honestly more usable for many.

Now if only someone can develop the property north of this one on 104 ave.

I thought they were going to reuse some of the bricks from the building that existed before.

I have to say this really doesn't look that bad in person. It's still a 6/10 for me, but it hasn't turned out as bad as it appeared it might
