About This File

Built in 1993, the Alakea Corporate Tower (also known as 1100 Alakea Plaza) is located at the corner of Alakea Street and South Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii.

This model is available as a CO$$$ tower in both growable and ploppable versions, both of which provide 1550 jobs and sit on a 3x3 lot. Both Darknite and Maxisnite options are provided - use only one at a time!

It's the early 1990s. You're a business looking for space for your big box computers, fax machines, and fancy power-suit wearing clientele. The name of the game is postmodern and plush. Ribbon band windows, pink granite, a soaring atrium and the airs of excess and success that late postmodernism could offer. You're looking at the Alakea Corporate Tower.

IDS2 has done it again with a design that is emblematic of late 1980s and early 1990s corporate commerce, and it's done so beautifully, from the textures to the nightlighting. You can see office equipment and just imagine those mid-tier white collar workers burning the midnight oil. The modding is absolutely perfect, with both growable and ploppable options, saving time for those who don't like fiddling with PIM-X.

Alakea Corporate Tower was the understated tasteful elegance of its time, and it will bring a little bit of that flair to your cities in a way that will seamlessly blend in and yet introduce its own unique flavor into the medley of your skylines. Thank you so much IDS2! 5/5!

Looks awesome with that reflection, and the building reminds me of Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard

It is so good to have more buildings of that style in that quality in the game ... Great choice. Wonderful work. Five stars.

Pretty nice building! Thanks for making and sharing! I like the diagonal side of it. I'll see if I can repurpose it as diagonal plop building :)

Being a small(er)town girl, I don't use many big CO$$$ towers, but yours are so well done (and Grow & Plop, to boot !) how could I resist at least stashing them ? *:thumb:

Amazing work. I love this postmodern corporate architecture, and the concrete outdoor space pushes this over the top for me. 90s architecture is criminally underrated, and I hope you make more of it!
