City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 6 fl | U/C
Yeah...what kind of building even has a concierge these days? You'd have to be a global city for that, like New York City or Shanghai. Now assuming the actual proposal and architectural plans implied a concierge, it's no surprise there isn't one.

I think you guys put a bit too much faith in 3D renderings. Half the time they're rendered right in the CAD program or plugin like Rhonocerous 3D thus they look like trash (which usually results in people saying the building is going to look like shit, unless you know how to look past that), the other time they just hire a 3D renderer to make some renderings based on the info they give them. Rarely is a developer overlooking them and pointing out little things, especially in 2023 and during a recession. We'll getting into the point of human evolution you're going to start seeing AR, holographic or and robotic concierge's more than you are someone actually sitting there. It'd be a waste of money and a person. You basically just need a proximity card to get into the building and some sort of security to permit visitors these days and that's really all you should spend the money on. No human life is worth forcing into being a concierge now...that'd be like expecting people still employed to stand around opening doors and operating elevators like it's 1885 again.

Yes 9th floor sire...going to visit me mistress again heh. I mean think about it, what would a concierge in a forgettable condo project in a midsized city of Ontario actually be doing? Leeching free wifi and looking at the clock lol.
