About This File

The tallest building in New York State outside of Manhattan, the Erastus Corning Tower is a  42-story, 180m (589 ft) office tower; the centerpiece of the Empire State Plaza.  Built in 1973, the glass-and-concrete modernist structure dominates the relatively low-rise Albany skyline.

Included are both RCI Ploppable (CO$$) and Landmark versions of this building.  The RCI Ploppable version hosts 3000 jobs.  Both lots measure 3x6 tiles.  Landmark effects are similar to those of other Maxis landmarks.

I have left the lot essentially barren because this is intended as an intermediate component of a future greater Empire State Plaza lot.  Besides, there isn't a much of anything directly surrounding this building in real life anyways.

Thanks to sblanc1087 and vanschnookenraggen for providing pictures and useful input towards the re-creation of this tower.

I love all these buildings from not-as-well-known cities. It's beautiful, BTW. <-- Make Note: that's the only time I'm sayin' that about a modernist building. 9/10

Blackbeard: Thanks! I will be doing The Egg and the 4 Agency Towers of the Plaza in the future. I can't commit to a date, I still have other committments I want to finish off before diving into that full-bore. But they will be done.

Mentarman: One of these days I'm going to sit down and make growables of all my BATs, I just haven't found the motivation to do it yet (I don't consider myself a skilled lot-maker by any means. Basically I need to learn it first.

This looks great just like the real thing. Anytime I'm going up to Albany on a Friday night you can see this building far away going north on the thruway.
