Usually when you see one room in an open space is because the room is build to hide the pillar. Looking at your image, i am guessing there are either pillar(s) to support the building or maybe the entire wall is use for supporting the entire building.

You need to consult building Engineer. Don't take any of the forum-er word. If collapse not the forum-er going to suffer/die. Is you.

Some non loading wall also build by concrete, not necessary to be brick wall.

Possible, still need to have a proper engineer to look at it. Normal contractor will not know what is what. Especially dealing with high rise building.

Do you know the developer? Maybe you can contact the developer for guidance or maybe ask them introduce you to their Engineer.

By just looking at the wall, engineer can't tell either. They need to know what is the reinforcement inside the wall, then only can judge.
My meaning of "look" does not only apply to visual, is inspect and check.
