Dallas Apartments 1.0.0

After the economic doldrums of the 1970s, for much of the world the 1980s were a time for decadence - an era that flaunted luxury and claimed opulence, though it was just as often gaudy as it was tasteful.

Architecturally, postmodernism was coming into popularity. In the early 1980s, it was more simplified in shape, often blockier and chunkier. Architects were still transitioning from the dull boxes of the 1970s, and had yet to develop the more elegant designs of the later 1980s and early 1990s.

Matt has captured that wonderfully with the rare 5x5 residential tower here - aptly named the "Dallas Apartments". The American city of Dallas, Texas boomed in the early 1980s, right when a design like this was in fashion. (An oil glut in 1985-87 brought its swelling skyline to a sudden pause that would last for years.)

Lushly vegetated, sumptuously detailed with period-correct design, and tastefully textured, this is a delight to the urban core of many a city, and brings a taste of the 1980s to any skyline. Thank you so much Matt. 5/5!

Sweet looking urban apartment and the lot size is a bonus for me. Can't seem to find enough residential that is 5x5 and not high wealth. Thank you

Another excellent addition to your line of apartment buildings. Particularly fond of the tiling on the pool. Must be some low ceilings in the units underneath. 

thank you Matt for another high quality building to enhance our cities  love the mass and the shapes of this structure, great lighting and the rooftop details add so much visual interest    also flawless modding

These look great in game , thanks for sharing .

Splendid.  I love the diversity of angles --real and faux. Gives character to the urban landscape despite the grid.

A+ on it. Good Job like always Mr. ;-)

Thanks for sharing, Oliver

Only you have the master to make such an awful building look nice, well done, Matt! 

Woww! I have learnt some which can be used into my Simtropolis Building, The swimming pool is so nice! Thank you Matt.
