Not a deal breaker at all, but something to think about. For sure, I think she should make sure that the beams used on the East side of the property could handle the full load of those balconies eventually being closed in.
I think in general in our urban development we need to look more to roof-top usage for outdoor space.
But seriously, can you imagine how much more development like this we could see if like 5 organizations didn't own all the un(der)developed real estate downtown? Would really like to see OCURA find a way to structure an RFP such that lots of tiny developers could come together and work on a block. Something like 8 to 20 small-timers to come in with budgets of no more than, I dunno, like $5M for single lots like this.
