It's not an overly exciting design:

But then again, it is squeezing itself on a crazy irregular shaped block with a small sliver of street frontage, so its understandable that they wont be spending big bucks on a top notch design. But I do agree, glass would be nice, and offer some interesting contrast with the terra cotta beauty at 547 W Van Buren.
The fact that its replacing a parking lot is an added bonus.
