I agree, Pete. If it's not old, it's faux industrial, which is no different than faux French, IMO. There's nothing intrinsically wonderful about any style - it's all personal taste. If people want gritty, industrial lofts, then Bricktown is an excellent place to start. It's one of the largest concentrations of old buildings I can think of, at least close to the CBD. There are a few buildings north of Maywood that might serve as well. But most lofts like that are done by individuals, not developers.
And I agree, large windows with the correct orientation need no draping, as long as they're high enough that people can't see in - and you don't mind getting up with the sunrise and don't mind streetlights shining in your windows.
