They can easily switch out the metal with glass quickly from the inside of the garage since they don't need scaffolding and so they can access it from the empty parking spots (thus the placement of windows into the garage). This is also why they would want to do it now, instead of waiting for the building to finish (the parking spots would be full once the building opens and plus they want to start working on the building towards the river.
I sure hope you’re right! Windows with LED strips would make this building a heck of a lot better!
