its the big white Rss apartment building

i dont remember the name but im pretty sure its the exact same building

the real building is located in west LA, between beverly hills and santa monica

Yes, you'll find most of SC's buildings are based on real life examples.

ever since sc is iso/3d the buildings are mostly based on real-life buildings, but definitely since sc3k

but it would be cool if you would also show a picture of the ingame building, cuz I think there aren't many ppl that know which building you're talking about...

It looks to me a bit like O'Hare apartments.

I know which one he's talking about but don't have any in my city at the moment....
