    Hmmm... I can't make up my mind right now. Oh, and did you know that a building inpired by Central Plaza has already been BATted? It was created by lambsquirter, and you may guess three times who modded it... 18.gif

    Here's the link:

    Anyway, I suppose that won't keep you from making your own approach and creating a 100% accurate model with a triangular base shape instead of a square, right? 2.gif
    (If you can recreate the nightlights as shown on Emporis, you will be the god of skyscraper BATs... 44.gif )

    Does the Centre have any more specific name? I tried to find it on Emporis to see some more photos, but it found more than 50 matches to that name. 34.gif

    Yeah i know about that building, i plopped it in several of my cities, but i want a more accurate triangle version.
     
    On Emporis: go to the hong kong page and go to buildings. there the centre is located on the 4th place in the list of the top 50 tallest towers on the left of the screen:

    hello there!!

    I must say you have done great job on Lippo!
     
    out of those you have listed i must say HSBC. It would be way more difficult though...
     
    But if i may suggest another one - Jardin House. In my humble opinion it is one of the most ellegant any stylish buildings in the city. It may loose some of it grace if bated for the game though...

    Date: 11/10/2005 11:45:10 AM Author: irishgrapes Not to discourage anyone, but Central Plaza already exhists on the exchange by Lambsquirter. But hey, there are two Eiffel Towers on the exchange so who am&nbsp; to deture you? I light of this however I vote Centre.

    READING DOESN'T HURT ANYONE. I know there's Central Plaza on the STEX. It's not the real one. It has 4 sides and it looks ugly and fat (no offence). I want to build the real Central Plaza with 3 sides and good nightlightning.
     
    Please do NOT mention this again. It's extremely annoying to have to say the same thing a hundred times!!!

    I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you decide to build.  You do excellent work and it's only a matter of time until you build all three. 10.gif

    It gets a little confusing with most of the buildings have center in one form or another in their name.  But my vote goes solidly behind The Centre, such a great building.  Course I'd love to see any of those they're all so great.

    Hello Everyone,

    I just came back from HK, and I voted for the HSBC building because out of the choices, the HSBC building is the most interesting. I think its also the most difficult to render because of all the details that can't be overlooked. I noticed there isn't a pic of the building so I have included one from my travels to HK 2 weeks ago.

    Here is the HSBC Building again. Even the Standard Chartered Building on the right is a good building, perhaps on a 2X3 lot.

    Yes, it has been made. After he suggested it, so at the time he posted his suggestion, it hadn't been made yet. 2.gif

    Rest assured that if he was interested enough in that building to request it being recreated, he will have seen and downloaded the recreation that was finished some weeks after.

    What about the tall, narrow building in the foreground of this next picture?

    It's a nice looking gift shop, perfect for all cramped downtown areas! 19.gif (or in my case all of Genesis, Nebraska)
