About This File
Now unlocked, should work fine now. 
One of the few skyscrapers built in Portland during the 1950's, What once was a humble 8-story terracotta building morphed into The 511 Building. Apparently, this was architect Richard Sundedleaf's answer to Pietro Belluschi's groundbreaking Equitable Building, just a few blocks east. Needless to say, it didn't quite measure up, nor has it worn well on the eyes over the years either.
Regardless, this is a medical professional building, and it performs its role well. Although it is officially known by its address at 511 SW Tenth Avenue, a sign in psuedo-deco lettering above the main doors announces the structure as the Portland Medical Center. Private medical practices and part of Pacific University's healthcare program are the major tennants. The city-mandated ground-floor retail consists of a cafe, optometrist, and a retail pharmacy further projecting a medical use of the building to all passers-by.
The top of the building has seen a forest of communications devices grow alongside very obvious HVAC structures, despite the presence of a mechanical penthouse.
Extra BATer's commentary: I am quite familiar with this building, having had to visit doctors that had offices inside.

This BAT is fully tested, translated, and capable of running in English, Spanish, and German-language versions of SC4.
No need to worry about downloading extra stuff to get it to work in English, Spanish, or German, everything needed is in the lots included. Your version of SC4 will take care of the rest.

That is whenever I can get a refresher course on it or find people willing to translate and beta test in French.
