I wonder how those planters on the ends of the balconies will work out?
I wonder where they drain to? Presumably they accounted for a load of soggy wet soil in them.

it's not that great or exciting but I do like the impact and the way it is making Davie look, much more grown up street coming along.

Crane's gone. Progress is slow.

Thanks.
Are there drainage holes under those planters (accounting for the overhang?)
I couldn't spot any in the pics.

mcminsen · #89 Posted **Mar 24, 2021, 7:46 PM**

I'll have a closer look next time.

Within a year or two we might see how well the planter drainage is going.

officedweller · #90 Posted **Mar 24, 2021, 9:06 PM**

Thanks.
Maybe the lower part is a reservoir of sorts?

The balconies are sprouting colour at the Mirabel, my pixs today (April 24)

Thanks!
I like the colours alternating on the balconies, but that podium balcony with both colours looks odd to me.

And then a walk up the alley to see the backside.

Nothing too crazy but this one has turned out quite decent in my opinion.

officedweller · #96 Posted **Jun 21, 2021, 10:37 PM**

The gold adds a nice punch of colour.
But I still think the two-tone on one balcony looks like a mistake.

These two buildings might look alright from the outside, but the inside is a different story. I have been at this project for a year, and the finishing quality is the worst I have ever seen, without question. From tile to baseboard, to cabinets, this place makes Olympic Village look high quality. I feel bad for anyone who spent over $2000/ft buying into this place. On top of all this, the owner of Marcon held a catered party in one of the unfinished penthouses to shmooze his rich buddies, during the height of the second wave of the pandemic. Just terrible.

What's the point of the planters if you can't enjoy it from your balcony due to being blocked by the screen? The angles with the screen don't even go with anything. What's with the extra balcony glass that overlaps with the windows making it impossible to clean lol (couldn't they have just divided the last window with a yellow pane aligned with the balcony to create the same effect?). So much frivolous shit going on, when they could've put the money towards better cladding instead of the racing stripes of spandrel down the middle of the sides...

Thanks for the insight! I live across the street and have been watching it go up for almost two years. I had been wondering about Marcon and whether they'd stack up to the quality of the Jervis next door (which in my opinion has one of the nicest condo interiors in the West End). Horrible about the penthouse party! I'm assuming that was the east tower?

So far my list of things I like about it start and end with the ground floor landscaping.

I am so glad this kind of density that forumers clamour for is being approved because as we can see it helps sooo much with affordability. Yessir, just a few more of these and the affordability crisis will be licked.
