About This File

Built in 1963, these apartments sit just off of highway 94 a few blocks east of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Though they are closer to the freeway, they are easy to miss next to the far more prominent Riverside Plaza complex, which was designed by local architect Ralph Rapson.

This pack contains four variations on a single building layout: two that are ten stories and two that are five. The real-world building off which these are based is closest in appearance to the Powderhorn Building, but to create some more variety, I have also made a version in red brick for each the five-story and ten-story variants. The ten-story variants (Powderhorn and Loring) both house 1412 R$ sims, while the five-story variants house 636 R$ sims. All of the lots are 5X2 and are provided as growables. Both Darknite and Maxisnite options are provided - use only one at a time!

Very cool! It reminds me of those apartment blocks seen in Pruitt Igoe, as seen in the film Koyaaniqatsi.

Excellent work - I'm always glad to see more quality R$ stuff that isn't covered in graffiti/trash/looks like its been through a nuclear war....ie just decent homes for those who aren't millionaires. Thanks for sharing.*:thumb:

Thoughtful modeling of a mid-20th century design, wonderful texturing and lighting, and sumptuous lighting. A PIM check shows the growable modding is well done as well. A real treat that helps broaden the residential offerings for our lower-income sims, and the 5x2 lot gives them a good chance of growing and showing up! Thank you so much for sharing your excellent work IDS2. 5/5!
