you could make a free standing arbor. You could get the square shaped arches and drape fabric from one side to the other. To hold the fabric taught you could put grommets on the fabric and hooks on the top of the arches. Simple and you can change the fabric when you get bored. You could also attach boards across the top if you wanted to make it sturdier
Wow! Your deck is beautiful! It's a shame to not be able to use it! I can't tell your exact dimensions there but it appears to me that your floor space is about 6' wide. How about 6 x 6 canopies with the drop down shade screen on the south side? If you have 12' of length, you can put 2 up for more shade.
Hope that hells

That is a tough question! I also live in a condo (corner unit) but face two ways - north and north-east. When the hot afternoon sun comes around, I can still sit outside quite comfortably but sympathize with my neighbors (in the adjacent condo building with balconies facing west) who all retreat inside. đŸ˜° They have umbrellas too but as you know, they provide very little shade!
You say your balcony is large ... if it were mine, the only thing I can think of is buying two or three tall palm trees and placing them alongside the railing - closest to where you sit. You can simply bring them inside for the Winter. Palms also add a lovely "tropical" look to any spot whether it be inside or outside. Can you also purchase more than one umbrella?
Use large market umbrellas.
Here's a thought. Get 3 or 4 cedar arbor ladders at Home Depot or Lowes. Anchor them in buckets of sand. Attach a shade cloth to them (the grommet idea is great). You can even string twinkle lights for festive evening dinners!
Great idea, A Pergola with duck cloth . Add plants so the Condo Association thinks it's all Natural.
Tall plants (trees), trellis or sail shades ( they tie up with rope). You have a great balcony, hope you get to use it soon!
Thats what my neighbors did, it works and looks great!
