When building in the inner city, you can sometimes enjoy a partial view from the upper floor.  The land slopes toward the river valley, and the downtown core is all in the valley, so it does not take much height to get a nice city view.  If the neighbours are all older bungalows then the view is usually clear above the roofline.  With the floor just installed I had a chance to climb the ladder and take a look from the top.  Looks good!
