^^^don't be too quick, maybe they just haven't punched through the insulating barrier yet. I understand the lack of windows below as that will be covered by the tall podium. Then again, maybe they are cutting back on glazing. We'll know in a couple of days.

The feds establish the National Building Code------->province then sets or 'adopts' the Alberta Building Code.

Depends on your modelling, material use, overall building performance and design.

Used to be called that - we now have the National Building Code - Alberta Edition which includes provincial specific amendments/additions to the NBC.

I would say our family-friendly structural engineer with mandated column placement and design was wholly responsible for the change in window design. The architects (professionally adaptable) then wanting to have an eye-pleasing grouping of windows reduced the number from five to three in that particular instance and it will continue on up the structure on that particular elevation. I highly doubt that it had anything at all to do with the Building Code, National or Provincial. The Provincial Code cannot/does not impact the mandates contained in the National Code only adjusting them in a more restrictive manner for local (Provincial) conditions.l

Now, if something could be done about that building in the front of the picture, that would improve things even more. One step at a time, I suppose.

It is next door to Warehouse Park. Hint hint, COE!

Park is preferable unless another tower.

Here’s my attempt at an edit to show what the building is going to look like with 3 windows on the southern wall instead of 5 like initially shown:

Coming in on Jasper Ave from the west you can now see tower one blotting out the afterthought west wall of the Icons. The Parks is already doing God's work.

I wonder what the lease rates look like. Considering it's proximity to the Park and Norquest, it would make a good spot for another restaurant in the area. Considering what the building used to be, a great name would be the Creamery

In this case, it's not going to hurt much in the area to build something new on that lot.
