Interestingly enough this condo (and its sister building next to it) have balconies equipped with sliding glass panels that can convert the space into fully-enclosed sun rooms (like the failed Bazis proposal for 1 Bloor East). I wish this feature was more commonly available - can’t seem to think of any other projects where this was utilized?

it doesn't happen as those balconies are then counted in the building FSI's and tower floorplates. i.e. it's not "free" space like many think of it as. It probably happened here as these buildings are under the maximum densities permitted so it wasn't a big deal to have extra floor space counted than would otherwise have been.
