What is an average price to replace 294 windows ?

[Hoang P.]

My partners and I are thinking about replacing windows in a 21 units apartment complex that we just purchased last week (4 buildings/20 units + Store front). The buildings are currently vacant and have quite a few broken windows. Of course we could just replace the broken windows and make sure the rest are functional. But the mix of new/old windows would make the buildings look really tacky. We're thinking about replacing all windows to make it look more attractive and energy efficient. Does anyone know a reasonable window contractor that you would recommend? The property is located in Cincinnati, OH. We had an estimate from Window City yesterday for a total of $71,730 + $4303 (6% tax)= $76,033 which average out to $258 per window.
We were hoping that with this size of window replacement, we would be able to get a large discount. Any info or recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Here is the break down of estimate we got yesterday from Window City:
- 205 Tru Lock/Normal size @200 each = $49,200
- 39 Picture windows @275 each = $10,725
- 4 Specialty large store front windows @500 each = $2,000
- 46 Glass block for basement windows @200 each = $9,200
The prices included wrapping windows with matching color aluminum.
