So the concrete section doesn't align in height or really match the north face of ZaZa since ZaZa has a cutout in the middle.
So, why do they have a large swatch of the building covered in concrete instead of glass?

My guess would be that it has to do with the percentage of allowable glass based on fire code.
There are different percentages of allowable glass based on how far away from the other property line the building is.
