So are the modular concrete walls wrapped in green plastic or something similar? Or are they not concrete?

the modular walls aren't concrete they are metal. the concrete ones are made on site and are around the elevators and at the two ends just to add some support ( they aren't entirely for the length of te end walls).

Metal! Clearly the modules aren't framing only, they also have some kind of cladding. Is that also metal cladding? Where can I find more info about this type of modular construction?

It's a steel stud wall with a fiberglass sheeting.  For starters check out the website of this contractor and then do a few google searches: https://www.magest.com/wall-panels

For as long as it took to get started with this and all the ups and downs, I'm glad it's finally happening

Wow.....DTK is really coming along -- thought I'd never see this type of evolution in the DT core.

There are still a few sh*tholes to get rid of, hopefully this will happen sooner than later.
