Without doxxing myself by posting a picture, my backyard has a square view of the top of the tower. It is flat as the day is long :/

It's practically any day now. Just a few minor items left between Rimap and the City for the Foundation Permit to be issued.

These are beautiful. This is such a step in the right direction. We have some better looking projects coming up for the next few years - I am going to love how our skyline is going to change.
The first balcony cladding!

I'm curious to see how that drains, I see flat U/S of slab below the balcony. No pipes

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but balconies don't have drainage piping. The residential balconies here as most buildings do, have a slight slope and the water drains between the balcony slab edge between the face cladding. The step backs above the amenity space where the pool is, have scuppers that drain the water to the roof drains on the amenity space level. I hope this makes sense. There are no flat balconies or terrace areas on this project or any another for that matter.

This line(red arrow) we are seeing here is just the drip edge.
I got the basics, but usually there is not a façade on the exterior edge, I would be really interested to see a detail on how this one works.
I don't see how you drain through the white portion. I don't see the drainage path. - unless we are just draining through (ideally) galvanized furring channels. and they are just constantly exposed to water running in-between the exterior of the alum and the conc slab.
say you look at the proportions of the white alum to the exposed slabs above, you can tell that it is higher than the lowpoint of the balcony. so the water is not running over the top of the alum, it would have to be between???
I want a detail!!!!!

Yes, I know your red arrows are pointing at a drip edge. Again, the drainage gap is between the balcony slab edge and cladding.View attachment 581928

So, there would be a return at the top from the balcony I would assume?
personally I think its not the best. but as there is no façade underneath, who cares I guess..
