Glass Window Falls From Exelon Tower (BBJ Story)

The Baltimore Business Journal

A glass window fell out of the eighth floor of the 23-story Exelon tower at Harbor Point last week, striking two Exelon workers and prompting an aggressive inspection of one of the city's premier office developments.The large window fell from the eighth floor of the $170 million tower on Wednesday around 10:30 a.m. and crashed onto the sidewalk near Ceremony Coffee Roasters on the southwestern side of the building that holds Exelon's headquarters, retail and 103 apartments.

Both victims who were struck by the glass were taken to a local hospital. Their identities and conditions were unavailable Monday. On Monday, the sidewalks and entryways of the Exelon tower were cordoned off with scaffolding as a team of safety inspectors hired by the tower's owner Beatty Development Group LLC launched a probe of its 1,700 tempered glass windows.
