^^^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

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