Balconies in general are terrible and I hope the city moves away from this trend. Most people rarely use their balconies in the upper floor counts, and they just end up blocking your view 99.9% of the time. When I'm looking for a condo, especially a higher floor one, I'll either look for one with no balconies or small balconies in the corner or something (like Ten York). Adding those screens obviously makes it worse, but balconies in general suck for views. At least from the outside, this building looks better with the screen than the ugly wrap around balconies aA likes to put up everywhere.
