Also, if that blank wall must stay for building code, can they not just cover it in glass as well? (is that what Empire was getting at?)

I think they can do three things.
1. Leave the building at the property line and have fire rated windows.
2. Have the wall at the property line solid concrete but affix standard glass to give the appearance of real windows. (mirrored would work best)
3. Step the building back 5ft. from the property line and used standard glass for the window openings. You can see in the image that CIBC has windows facing south. This is because the building is set back 5ft. from the property line.
This is the cheap way and they want to see if it will fly under the radar so I hope people are all over it.
