Windows are allowed where a building borders a street or an alley. It becomes an issue where a building borders another lot that can potentially be built on. On the west side of this building, above the parking levels, the units are set back away from the border of the next lot. That is likely why they are able to have windows on that side. They wouldn't butt up to anything that could potentially get built there.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

I was waiting for someone to post a photo on here to make note of this. It stands out a lot more when you're out there in person on South Congress.

Is that...glass? Going in to a nicely designed and well hidden garage podium??

This one is starting to show up nicely from along South Congress around Oltorf just as Congress turns left north of it. This one and Block 185 totally own that view.
