About This File

This building was built in the late 1960s to house the headquarters for First Chicago Bank.  Over the subsequent 30 years, First Chicago was absorbed into Bank One, which was then absorbed into JPMorgan-Chase Bank.  Today, Chase Tower is a very distinctive building, at the geographical center of Chicago's Loop district.  Its sunken plaza and restaurants provide a place to rest and relax in the city.

FlibbidyFleu's building came out several years ago, and it was a very high-quality BAT for its time.  I was disappointed because it lacked the very-cool sunken plaza adjoining the building  The parade/dancing scene in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was even filmed there.  So I BATted it as a separate prop and made a new lot, then re-modded it for personal use.  Later, when I had a chance to contact FlibbidyFleu, I sent him my reworked lot, and he permitted me to release it.

 

NOTE - this building does not have nightlights.
There is nothing I can do about this, because it was made that way.

There are two variations included - a vanilla Landmark, and an RCI ploppable.

Sorry to the growable fans - 6x6 is the limit, I think, for growables, and this is 6x7.

-CB Edit: Fixed issue with plaza not showing on the lot due to a props descriptor file problem. Also corrected exemplar issues causing conflicts between the Landmark and ploppable commercial version (with jobs).

Very interesting, how many evaluate here only according to a picture without seeing the work in the game. ---Please, read the comments!---

I'll look into the bug. The top of the BAT model is above ground, so it can't be disappearing underground.

Oh, and thank you, skyasaurus, for being civil. I apologize that I blew up like that in your comments section, and I really respect that you gave this lot a fair rating. Thank you.

At least you bothered to ask for permission instead of Skyasaurus. And you didn't say it was yours. Nice job.

Skyasaurus: We didn't give you a nine because you said it was yours until a bunch of people found out. That's when you decided to add that.

great looking lot... hope it works, but sounds like theres a bug and it doesnt... if 6x6 is the largest size for a growable, how did SG make the shopping centers? is that the max size for offices only? or only CS can be larger? either way, ill give it a 9, since there seems to be a bug, but nice lot.

Great! A great building finds its real owner at last. Speaking of owners, It's still great for my cities.

I thinks it's great, loved it. Besides being bugged i'm gonna give it a 10/10 counting that it will be fixed. There is that plaza not showing and the 0/0 jobs
