Actually, i ended up talking to an incredibly reliable source about the breakage.
There are two types of failures happening, one is the windows falling (which has to do with my previous post about the hinge issues probably).
The other type is the coating issue. Basically, glass manufacturers expect a failure rate among their glass panes but the cost is so prohibitive to get it to 100%, they essentially just buy insurance for the glasses that do fail and repair it as it occurs.
I suspect the reason we hear more about Larvotto's is becuse it is a residential complex so the OC are more concerned than normal. For new office buildings, including a number of recently build curtain wall towers, these glass pane breakages are quite normal but probably a lot less talked about because the tenants are never really the owners, and the owners themselves (the building) has no incentive to mention it.
