Hi Shawn I havn't seen much, if any, in the way of present day architecture offered in any scale except in printed backgrounds. I have seen a convincing looking scratch built structure made from enlarged photographs and foam board. For me model railroading is an art form. If a structure I want isn't available, I try to scratch build or kit-bash one. It's a hobby within a hobby. If you live near a large city with the type of buildings you like go on a photo expedition and get some ideas. Pick a simple looking structure to model. Don't worry about measurements and make something out of foam board, styrene strips. For glass you can use clear styrene painted on the back side with black or copper or whatever. If you think you don't have the skill to scratch build something, try it anyway (just pick something simple) you might supprise youself.
