the description does not do this beautiful building justice

Let's go! an asset from Houston

Very good, great work!

I remember going around this area in Uptown all the time when I was younger

Works with the base game so I expect no problems with any DLC!

Works with SH DLC??

need more houston buildings!

Nicely done. I used to work in these buildings and even I could not remember exactly how they looked.

Friends of mine lives along I10W, so when we drove there from the airport I was all like "haha I know those buildings."

What was cool was the reaction: "oh you built those in Cities Skylines?" Apparently word had traveled across the Atlantic that I was involved in nefarious projects :)

I used to actually work in one of these buildings. :)

I didn't know uptown H town had mining operations. Do you think you could model the whole uptown skyline (just the buildings), because I like those buildings on Ambassador Way, and of course the Galleria as gigantic as it is.

900 eh? My version of that mod gives 2066 jobs O_o

Jesus christ these have about 900 jobs in realistic pop consumption version. mama mia! More blocky bulky office buildings please! And huge warehouses :) I'm going rico crazy here!

Awesome... I creating a mid-rise area of my town. This will be perfect.

This is true, i've just been quite busy as of late with work and family. I should make some time to make a config set to apply to various assets in the workshop...

Don't forget you can add RICO functionality to locally saved assets with AJ3D's guide folks!

All my upvotes: seriously, RICO NEEDS more assets like this. Even though unique buildings already function as office + park combos, RICO Offices don't cost maintinence (usually, iirc) and you can place multiple of them. :)

Ahhh, there we are :)

I think I got it: I had my downtown area split in half by districts, one of them had a high rise ban enabled.

I'll check it, though I didn't try it before.

Hmmm okay that's already helpful! I just updated Chirpigroup Center, can you check whether or not that one works?

It's perhaps worth noting that Two Prudential works, but this, Banhammer, and Modernist disappear.

That's one of the reasons why I made them :)

On another note, thanks for making these buildings with 4 and 8 cell dimensions, they fit splendidly in my city blocks

Yeah they show zots when there's too few services for example, and I'm sure things like no water etc. pop up as well. I've pinged AJ on chat, maybe he knows more about this.

I'll have a look next time I play. It's my downtown area, there are other L3 offices nearby, but I won't rule out the possibility.

Though if these were zoned, they would show a complaint bubble and then abandon. I don't have auto-bulldoze turned on for that. Do RICO buildings abandon or show issues of any kind?

I've seen it a couple of times with other assets but don't exactly know what makes it happen. Not running into problems with it myself though. Are services up to scratch? It's a L3 office so maybe that's what's happening here. though I guess not =/

Maybe we should take it to @AJ3D, the mod's creator...

For some reason, the RICO versions of your buildings disappear shortly after placement, as if I'd just dezoned them. Is this something you've heard of?

Great Work Koesj!! Thumbs Up!!

good enough for me, great work man.

MAYBE!

DO MORE HOUSTON SKYSCRAPERS THERE'S SO MANY UNIQUE STRUCTURES

Thank you *SO MUCH* for posting a Houston skyscraper! The lack of Houston skyscrapers has baffled me. Thanks again!

@mb1.0.2: I should first update my other assets -_- Had been eyeing Heritage Plaza but that'd take too much time because it's such a bastard to texture.

@CityDave: Not with these textures and proportions, no.

The base and top floor are set-up to be a service floor for the rest of the building so they would need to go; there'd be no more need for a rooftop helipad; the color mix on the facade works decently because of its vertical repetetitiveness IMO (you'd lose that on a groundscraper), etc.

Basically it'd need to be a whole new asset and an original to boot, no shortcuts for me by just imitating real life :) So a 'version' is out, though a ~25 floor copy might be useful since those do actually exists.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Would you consider doing a 5-story version for lowrise office parks?

looking good

I lol'ed at the description of this...I know right where this is at. Love to see a few Houston items popping up recently. Any plans to tackle some of the structures of downtown proper? There's literally ONE Houston skyscraper on the workshop right now.

Uuurgh that one'd be way too much work!

Do the Chase Tower in Dallas. It's also a really fat building

Excellent. So much needed!

Thanks folks!

Excellent building Koesj! Really loving the styles and quality of assets youre producing - keep up the great work! :D

Thanks for getting on board with RICO! Saves me the time of adding it myself ;)

Sweet. I´ve followed the progress of RICO and it sound great. Hope that more devs make there creations "RICO enabled". Thx a lot and well done
