Again, imo.
And to be fair to Jeanne Gang, I am absolutely certain she was ordered by the developers to include the balconies. This is 100% on them.

I don’t think they’re fully exposed concrete. One picture shows a white paint on the underside. Can’t tell whether there’s a walking surface finish by these pictures.
In all fairness they’re so far behind with construction I wouldn’t be shocked if they still framed in ceilings at least on the upper condo floors. The waterproof paint at the very least. If they don’t do an outdoor tile on the walking surface that’s an embarrassment.
