They would either need a setback from the interior lot boundary to allow for windows, or since they built to the interior lot boundary they need a blank wall for fire safety regulations. Empire knows the applicable regulations, I am just basing this on past comments by Empire. Is this correct Empire?
However, even if they did have a setback and windows, there is the potential of the windows being blocked by adjacent building in the future (for example the south side of the CIBC tower blocked by the TD building).
100% lot coverage is allowed in the Central Blocks (map 8) on buildings less than 33.5 meters tall, and in the Central Blocks no setback is required for buildings under 33.5 meters tall -
