Is the developer's insurance company paying for this?

Brad Pitt's paying for it. He needs to protect his face.

Either the installer or the manufacturer will eat the cost.

I really don't think movie stars are going to care or even notice. It serves the owners right for building such a cheap piece of garbage.

So does Steve Buscemi.

I'm sure Daniels searched out and sourced defective fritted balcony glass for their signature downtown building. Your a true scholar.

That's ironical.

Well its nice to see Daniels taking action after one incident instead of waiting for more sheets of glass to fall. Lanterra should have done something like this too. Even Concord-Adex had balconies removed from Matrix after one incident.

It looks better with the green netting... It gives it some colour.... I'm being totally honest....

I see the netting is not all done and I see broken glass. Didn't have time to get near it.

I can't get over how HORRIBLE the timing is for this.... the green tarp/wrapping all over the tower, and TIFF is basically here.... HORRIBLE timing! this thing needs to make impressions going into its 2nd year! it;s EMBARRASSING! a brand new building needing to be fixed up!!!!

Its really bizarre, from a distance it does seem to accentuate the tower somewhat. Bizarre in the sense that this is green where talking about here, the color almost all of us are sick of seeing on our buildings. Must be because of the deeper shade.
Obviously, up close when you can see the tarp it looks terrible.

That pic drum posted would suggest that the issue is with the glass itself, not the mountings.
And as for the wrap, I don't think it's a big deal. Once they get the whole building covered, people won't notice it and it doesn't look bad anyway. It really depends on how much the media draws attention to it.
I still prefer the milky white colour of the glass though.
