Problem with Juneau Bank Tower

I have a problem with a custom building I got of the STEX, the Juneau Bank Tower. I plopped the jobs plopable into my city, and it was working fine for a while, but today I realised that it had disappeared leaving just the base texture of the building. When I hover over it with the query tool, it says "city-owned land". I cant delete the texture or build anything on it. When I plop the Juneau bank tower elsewhere in the city, it works fine. Its just that one spot that has been corrupted and made useless. I need help. This one spot is right in the middle of my perfect downtown space!

It looks like you built the tower on a phantom tile(at least what I call it), if you build something on that tile, it can't be destroyed in any way, not even disasters. Try to make it look like a plaza of some sort, or find a way to make your problem look good.

Place zones - any kind of zone - under the building and try to demolish it.

    Nah I tried zoning on it. I even tried building those ped mall tiles that tend to cause bugs when you accidently put them on top of something. Didn't work. i was thinking of trying to make it look like a plaza.

    So, the lamps didn't show up? I guess you should put tall buildings so that it is blocked from view, or act like it is a mall or something that just wastes space like an open cement area.

    Have you also tried building road tiles on top of it?

    Plop another Juneau bank tower right next to it and try to demolish both lots. If that doesn't work, surround it with Juneau bank towers and demolish all of them. I believe this problem it's due to some overhanging props that get messed up somehow. For me, I find the above trick works every time.

    Thankyou Normac, that worked. Did you come up with that or did you see it somewhere? I guess now we have a solution to this =]

    Someone else came up with it in these forums eons ago. I try to spread the word when I hear of this problem as the solution seems to work every time. Glad I could help!
