Actually the NCO Building was built that way on purpose because there is no alley next to it. The owner of the Plains Hotel site is entitled to build right to the lot line. The proposed Capital Pointe would not fit on the lot if you did not build right to the property line. Fire code does not allow highrises to have windows on a side where the building goes right to the property line or even within a certain distance.
The good news is that once CP is built, you will never see that wall again.
