Shame that there are no operable windows. At least awning windows on the smaller lights. To be sure, the door to the balcony is a large opening, but what if the tenant would like to have a little fresh air while it's raining? This building is built towards standards from the 20th century, when fossil-generated energy was cheap and the effects of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen on the biosphere were largely unknown. Would be nice if it incorporated some passive design elements, rather than just the standard condo appointments. A hermetically sealed box. It's a'ight, a solid C. Nice cribs.
