Now I am not sure where to find the Condominium Documents but given that they sold out in 4 days there may be some increase to the condo. Do I think they will push it to 27 stories, no, but we could see 19 or 20 (complete speculation), sure why not? It might be hard to increase the size now but its probably not completely impossible.

Hopefully not... I quite like this particular building at its current height. The scale, shape, and massing are simple and elegant. Plus I like the height difference between the hotel portion and the condo portion.
Do you think it's an option to incorporate condos in the (larger) office tower?
I agree with others who hope that this will light the fire under other timid developers (and citizens as a whole to consider downtown living as a viable option). Granted, the demand may have been so high because of the building's stellar surroundings, but I think this could mark the start of a trend in downtown... I guess we'll see what happens in the coming months and years.
