About This File

The Water Tower Place is the 8th largest building in Chicago rising 74 floors(859') only a block away from the world famous Water Tower (hence the name) and the John Hancock Center. This building stood as the world's tallest reinforced concrete building from 1975 until 1990. It costs $45,000 to build at a cost of $50 a month to maintain.

Nice but lacking roof junk and a night shot.It's another useless landmark and a dang skyscraper so your only getting a 8 from me.

Cool looking building, I'd make it a 2x instead of a 3x with the extra grass back there. I won't download it unless it has jobs, but it's a great design. I give it an 8 too.

I agree.. for some reason even though I put the night lights in they didnt show up after rendering. Im working on my second building now. I just wanted to do something simple to begin with. Ive also gotta learn how to add jobs.

Simple,which we need more of. As for being another 'useless landmark' well,don't download it then...there are plenty of other lots to serve your needs. I'm sick of buldings getting trashed unless they look like Maxis made it themselves. It's why I don't upload..some of you are too damn critical.

I have to side with Incognito, way too critical, another example of extreme cirticism would be the eiffel tower landmard, it's a great building. i personally like the landmark idea, and i think you could do the same as the WTC, make both. Nice work, not bad for a first building.

I haven't downloaded it but does this lot provide jobs? Water Tower Place has a tons of stores and offices inside, it should provide sims with medium and high wealth jobs as well as commercial office jobs.

too plain looking - no jobs - no growable version - there is a better version as menioned on another website. A few points for effort.

Not bad, however more roof structures would help it a bit, as well as a small plaza of some sort at street level. Try adding some cooling towers, or some other mechanical things to the roof. That would help a bit.

I think this building looks very nice unlike what others can say, I'll give it a 10, It looks great with just some minor problems. It's sad to see how rude some people can be. It's not useless and It looks great to me.

Wow, looks pretty darn close to the real thing. You know what, if the real building doesn't have roof junk, then it shouldn't be there. I can't find a pic of the roof for this building, so I don't care. 9/10

pretty accurate, but needs lights. Overall not bad, but could be better.

by the way, other people, this hasn't been done before. the other building is completely different, although it is also in Chicago. both are very accurate.

There isnt any major roof junk on this building. There is the one large black structure. I had a picture from the john hancock of the top of this building.. there is some smaller things that maybe I should have added, but I kinda like it simple on top to be honest.

I like it a lot. The windows and texture look great. But I knew something was missing. You might want to go here and check out the base of the building: http://my.homewithgod.com/spidergal/tourist/09.jpg I still give a 10 though, nice work.
