I have no idea how the economics work out, but does anyone have a decent idea of how much it costs to do this versus how much rents would increase as a result of additional window space?
My hunch is that the numbers would only justify such a move in the context of a residential conversion, but I hope I'm wrong about that.

I think they would just put matching black metal panels instead of cutting in new windows, if they did anything.

Even those windows have a translucent blue covering.
