Great layout - I like the Nelson buildings at MET and did well on those presale. Had one myself too. Some follow up pro opinion from a realtor perspective:
- less hallways - no one spends time here, wasted footage for most part - some 2/3 bedrooms are terrible for that with tons of long hallways
- U shape generally is more popular but L shape has merits too in space saving. You'll find larger units generally shy away from L shaped or at least add an island where it serves as both as a high table/gathering point/hangout and bar area.
- separated bedrooms. Side by side layouts = not the best for sound proofing... use your imagination
- western exposure - in non AC building like MET 1 - western exposure units were hot AF after 6pm. Stuffy! Remember hot air rises up and in concrete/glass type structure there's no where for the hot air to go but... UP.
