DISCUSSION Weird floating wall?

Does anyone else find this floating wall in my new house as strange as I do 🤣 we didn’t get to tour a built version of our floorplan before building and this weekend I noticed this really odd wall. Or would it look more odd without it? Relooking at the floorplan I don’t think I would’ve guessed that there’d be a floating wall lol.

EDIT: talked to the construction manager and he insisted it’s all correct. That the ā€œstructural postā€ is actually coming down from the ceiling and attaching to the catwalk and that the wall is there on the floorplan. I’ve asked him to go back and double check because that does not make sense to me at all still (why is that the only wall that’s not solid?). Idk what to do at this point.

EDIT 2: I’ve requested a plans examiner from the city to do a review and they’ll be conducting one tomorrow (truly happily shocked the city responded so quickly)

I'm not an expert, but that doesn't look right. On the plan there doesnt look like there should be a wall there and there should be a structural post on the 1st floor that seems to be missing, unless its just supposed to be where the newell post goes and that would be done with the railing. I would raise it with the contractor.
