About This File

Completed in 1978, the Silberturm (Silver Tower) is located in central Frankfurt, Germany. Formerly the country's tallest building, it stands 32 stories high. 

This building sits on a 4x4 lot and comes in growable and ploppable CO$$$ varieties, both of which provide 4638 jobs.

Both Darknite and Maxisnite versions are provided. Only one may be used at a time. The Darknite version requires SimFox's Day and Nite Modd.

The late 70s were a period of urban design where boredom with boxes had begun to set in, but the whimsy of postmodernism had yet to take hold. Skyscrapers were still boxy, but architects were feeling more liberated to play with the forms, the facades, and the massing. IDS2 captures that here with the Silberturm, with its rounded edges, external elevator cores, and interstitial spaces.

But what really makes this BAT shine, literally, is the texturing. The metallic finish and window treatment are such that there diffuse reflections off the metal, as it you were seeing it in real life. Too many BATs treat just the street-facing facade and leave the side walls dull and featureless, with bland or poor-quality textures. IDS2 certainly did not do that here! The modding, lighting and lotting are also well done. At 4x4, growable-only users may actually see this naturally sprout in their Downtown cores.

A terrific addition to the game, well-suited for a variety or urban cores. 5/5!

Gude (Frankfurt dialect for "Hello")

I'm living near Frankfurt and i know these building very well. I see it often when i'm cycling nearby. The Tower is located near the old European Central Bank Tower, nearby is the HSBC Deutschland @ Skyper Building Complex, the Gallileo Building, the Gallusanlage Park and the very "well known" Kaiserstraße. The main tenant of is actually Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) (German Railways).

It grows very well and is detailed like the original. 

Thanks a lot.

As a dude from Frankfurt, I particularly appreciate this. I have always found this building very expressive. 

Until 2008, it was the headquarters of Dresdner Bank, after which it was renovated and has been used by Deutsche Bahn (DB) since 2012.
Unfortunately, this building is also located near the notorious main train station. The architecture of the Silver Tower reinforces the rough surroundings (the adjacent plaza is not a good meeting place, especially late at night). Nevertheless, I love this building. 

Thank you very much for this outstanding model! And ofc for all your other impressive works as well :)
