Two Prudential Plaza

Description
This building is now RICO enabled but the mod’s not needed to enjoy it!

Get the Ploppable RICO mod here and these Uniques will function just like growables.

Landmark Building
Cost: 250,000
Upkeep: 400 / week

Size: 7x5 units
Height: 292 meters
(I checked, double-checked, and re-checked. With the floor count being as it is, this is the height that comes out!)

Fluff

Here we are, Two Prudential Plaza in Chicago, my second Postmodern architecture (PoMo) landmark Skyscraper for Cities: Skylines!

Fair warning: liberal use of normal and specular maps, combined with fine vertical details, make this building jaggies central. In other words: with the in-game anti-aliasing a tower like this will never come out quite perfect. If you have low specs the load on your PC won't be too high (thank you, small texture map!), but the visuals might not be like I intend them to be.

Shoutout to Koodoo25's earlier 2 Pru asset. While not as detailed, theirs might actually work better at medium to long distance on lower spec machines.

Some Wiki info:

Two Prudential Plaza is a 64-story skyscraper that was built in the Loop area of Chicago, Illinois, United States in 1990. At 995 feet (303 m) tall, it is currently the sixth-tallest building in Chicago and the thirteenth tallest in the United States. The building is also currently the tallest building in the world that is under 1000 feet tall. The building was designed by the firm Loebl, Schlossman & Hackl, with Stephen T. Wright as the principal in charge of design. It has been honored with 8 awards, including winning the Best Structure Award from the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois in 1995.

At the time of completion Two Prudential was the world's tallest reinforced concrete building. Its distinctive shape features stacked chevron setbacks on the north and south sides, a pyramidal peak rotated 45°, and an 80 foot (24 m) spire.

The building is attached to One Prudential Plaza (formerly known as the Prudential Building). Without its spire, the building's height is still slightly greater than that of One Prudential Plaza's pinnacle.

I love this Building.

I hate when I'm choosing for a super tall, I'm always choosing between this Building and the Messeturum of Frankfurt, Germany. Those two (along with One Liberty Place in Philadelphia) are the 3 most beautiful postmodern supertalls in the world, hands down.

There's loads of other stuff I want to work on first, and this sucker got a large-ish update not one and a half months ago. So, patience... :)
