That's sad. I'd almost feel compelled to drill a hole or cut into that spandrel piece to get more light in, or to hang something onto that spandrel piece, as nonsensical as it sounds. I guess the one good thing here is that this shouldn't have the screaming bee hive effect of E Condos with the wind picking up on the specialized metal balcony/cladding pieces. (Or at least, it used to*)
 
Those protruding chunky railing brackets on the floor don’t help either.
I can see myself stubbing my toes on those tiny balconies.
 
Mercer is beginning to look like a street again! Lol

I know we're not getting any unique paving treatments or sidewalk expansion here, but I do wonder what the post-construction street reconstruction program will entail.
 
I was down here today...........post will probably get its share of red faces.............and I can't fault that........as a lot of what I saw..........yeah....

First, the not-so-bad, I think, if it's cleaned-up ok (though even here, the straight-up streetwall treats this street terribly):

And the slab! What the hell? Just align the slab behind/above the brick..........the accretive cost is nothing, but per ft2 rent you would get for retail and/or office (in a normal market) in behind that heritage would make mint.
