At that rate you need to click 58 times to get your initial investment of $13,300 back. That means that you have to wait almost 2 months for that building to turn a profit. The glass tower is not much better at 50 days.
LIke benbever said a few posts up, if you want to make money in this game you need to use either the skyview restaurant (which depending on your cost of goods the payback time is only 31 clicks - businesses have to be measured in clicks instead of actual days due to the short collection time frame and the issue with not being able to supply them with goods constantly), or the corporate tower which is instant profit since it costs gems. You can do a pretty good job of supplying 2 skyview restaurants using 5 idea factories (180 goods every 2 hours with the latest changes) and 1 non-crippled greenhouse (40 goods in 3 minutes). You have no hope of keeping them going 24/7 so your going to have to deal with some floating boxes on your restaurant at times.
