Edit: On another note I was wondering for that type of specialized glass on the balconies if they would keep spares on hand to replace the odd ones that might need replacement should they be damaged or broken? Or would they still be able to get matching replacement pieces a decade or two down the line?

The overcast, rainy winter we are having isn't helping. I'm sure the frit pattern on the glass or acrylic panels is a generic pattern that will be able to be replicated many years from now.
As for Aqua. I appreciate the random flow of the design however, it gets lost with their choice of balcony treatment. The tower only looks good from up close.
