This one was never going to be heavy on use of glass or metal cladding as they wanted to tie the colour scheme to Arrow Lofts. However, the amount of brick they ended up using was fairly nominal so it's not all that similar in the end.
As for "luxury", it's all in the eye of the beholder, but, architecture aside, I think the Barrel Yards, for example, are much nicer inside than, say, 1 Victoria.
