Who wants Sydney Tower as a Landmark in SC4? AKA Centre Point Tower Long view http://www.sydneyskytour.com.au/media_cd/images/printimages/3_tower_hires.jpg Close up of top bit http://www.sydneyskytour.com.au/media_cd/images/printimages/2_tower_hires.jpg Sydney Tower Compared with other towers of the world http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/skytower/other.html CN Tower Toronto, Canada 553m Fernsehturms Berlin, Germany 368m Sydney Tower Sydney, Australia 304m Lot Details (SC4 wise) Based on the Fernshturn (size it about right) 52 Shops at the base (3 people per shop) + 2 Restaurants (25 people each) + Coffee Lounge (4 people) + Observation Deck (4 people) = 214 Jobs (CS $$) Anyone interested ?? Comments ?? A little bit about the tower: Construction of Sydney Tower Centrepoint began in late 1970 with the first 52 shops opening in 1972. The office component was completed in 1974 and the final stage of the complex, the Sydney Tower, was opened to the public in August 1981. Ranked as one of the safest buildings in the world the design has made the tower capable of withstanding earthquakes and extreme wind conditions. 56 cables stabilise the tower, and if the strands of these cables were laid end to end, they would reach from Sydney to Alice Springs, or from Sydney to New Zealand. The turret has a capacity of 960 persons, and contains two levels of restaurants, a coffee lounge, an Observation Deck, two telecommunication transmission levels and three plant levels. Three high speed double Deck Lifts take approximately 40 seconds to travel from top to bottom. The 1504 stairs, constantly monitored by security, provide emergency exit from the tower. Divided into two fire-isolated sets of pressurised stairs, they allow patrons direct access to street level. The 420 windows of the tower are cleaned by a semi-automatic window-cleaning machine, which recycles and filters 50 litres of water. This machine takes two days to clean all 420 windows. A 162,000 litre water tank, the tower's primary damping system, one million dollars worth of fire protection equipment and countless sprinklers add to the safety standards which far exceed normal building requirements.
