TBH, I quite enjoy the balconies on here. They create a nice 2nd layer on top of the glass facade and add some depth where it would otherwise be very flat and boring. It's a nice, crisp modern look, very graphical.
The balconies will be functionally tiny, but should be big enough to walk out and capture the view, smoke a cigarette, or even use a compact grill.
The base on the other hand is very confused. Pare it down, leave the Palmer Printing brick and marble in place and just do a tuckpoint. Then open up the brick at the ground floor only for some tasteful minimalist storefronts. Voila, better architecture at a lower cost. Maybe they could add some bling as well, with a tasteful LED light strip in the grooves and commission some artwork for the blank sections.
