Yeah the joists run perp to the window opening. I hadn't really looked at it too closely yet but it looks odd. The concrete does not extend all the way up the opening and over the top of the window. The top of the window is level with doubled up 2x4s that seem to run around the concrete perimeter. There are two floor joists that are above the existing window and they don't rest on 2x4 and concrete. Looks like they are just sitting on the 2x4s which go over where the window is. Not sure if the opening can be widened and an additional joist can be resting on those 2x4s. This condo is older and some things look...weird. I'll have to get someone to look at it.
