20 Niagara is a bit boutique for me. I want many neighbours to share amenity costs with. Also the location is too urban and at risk of being crowded in by taller buildings in the future. Also not interested in paying premium for a "hip" area. I tend to gravitate east of downtown because of that, and for access to the massive ravine system. I want to live as close as possible to the heart of the city and wilderness at the same time. Yes I'm from Vancouver haha.
Whippersnapper, not sure why it's such a such a tall order; full height window wall isn't rare (ie: U condos). By "terrace", a deep usable balcony flanked by a solid wall is just as good - basically not exhibitionist diving board style (ie: Nicholas residences).
I don't think it's unrealistic to have these things in a 700-800 sf condo for about $400K after a 15% drop in prices. I'm in my mid 20's btw.

Not sure if you like the ice towers but you can get a nice 1+1 bedroom in those towers for a little less than 400K and reasonable maintenance fees (for now) and great frigging views and location.
You can also get a large condo near a subway station in scarborough with amenities galore, low maintenance fees and 2 bedrooms for that price. Downtown at that price you're generally looking at either a shoebox in the sky or maintenance fees galore. Better off looking for a small townhome or low rise condo.
