Most people probably wouldn't notice until they signed their lease. I would hate it though, I almost always have the bedroom windows open at night, even in winter. Inoperable windows ae becoming quite common in new buildings too, the last couple condo towers I've worked on all had inoperable windows.

How many residential tenants woud be interested without them?

Here in Calgary it's anyone's guess. In other cities, (NY, Chicago, Dubai) there are highrises with no operable windows, but we're a much smaller market. Given it's only 11 floors, they can probably get by.

Lol, that's one way to do it. A friend of mine in Vancouver lived in a building that had fixed windows, and I stayed with him for a week, and to be honest, never really noticed. It was in the winter and was raining every day, so that could have been part of the reason.

Lots of building operators like the inoperable windows, helps the HVAC systems function more efficiently.

Anyone want to take some pics of the work being done to the entrance? I'd love an update as I've literally not been downtown in months.

I didn't get a picture on Tuesday but they were pouring concrete for the stairs and putting up framing on the columns for the cladding. Lots of guys on site.

I live in a new highrise across the street and have literally never opened a window.

As long as you have AC there is no need - unless you want to chill on your patio but no patio = no need for operable windows

The conversion to residential of 11 floors is an interesting development. Prior to covid, my company had various floors in Palliser One but we are planning to leave as the leases end in 2022.

When I have a chance, I'll provide some pictures but the current tenant lounge for the commercial tenants is quite lovely. It has a putting green, driving range simulator, foosball, big kitchen, booths, big TV, etc. if Palliser goes residential, I wonder if it will be open to residential tenants.
