Project Highrise: London Life

You are arriving in London, the focus of the world’s high finance and reigning monarch of modern mass communication. Skyscrapers are springing up everywhere as the world clamors for office space here among the history and pageantry of England’s capital.

In London Life, you will be challenged to create gleaming office towers for titans of trade, elite global stock exchanges and moguls of media. Your towers will be crowned with soaring antennae and space-facing satellite dishes to access the global information network.

London Calling
London Life adds 12 new office tenants, all looking for space to let within the coveted confines of this regal city. Financiers have always flocked to London; from small banks to sprawling stock exchanges, everybody wants to be near the global hub of commerce in the City. But in recent years, creatives of all types have also found the city’s spirit irresistible: from small recording studios and indie game developers, to bustling newsrooms and lofty movie studios, all are attracted by London’s bright lights and pulsing glamor.

Rule Britannia
London Life brings some British verve into your buildings. Traditional pubs and elegant restaurants impart a bit of English charm to your dining and drinking destinations. Luxuriant lobbies with chic chandeliers create impressive entryways. When combined with a variety of opulent outdoor decorations and posh new artworks, your new London premises will radiate refinement and prestige.

Project Highrise is a skyscraper construction and management sim.
Your job as the architect and developer is to build world-famous skyscrapers that will be the envy of the entire city, masterpieces of art and engineering. But a skyscraper is more than just steel and glass, it’s an intricate ecosystem, full of people that live and work in the building. They become a complex machine that needs your steady hand to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.

From the moment you break ground, every decision rests with you. As the architect you must coordinate the construction of everything - every wall and wire, every office and apartment. As the building owner you must keep your tenants happy - and paying rent on time. As a savvy developer you must keep an eye on the bottom line and invest in the future. Succeed and you will reap the rewards of a prestigious address where everyone will clamor to live and work. Fail and you will watch tenants leave in disgust, taking their business elsewhere and leaving your reputation in tatters.

Will you create an exclusive office highrise that attracts business leaders from around the world? Will you construct luxury apartments in the sky, penthouses for the elite and playgrounds for the famous? Perhaps greed will get the better of you and you’ll build a tenement building that trades tenant happiness for loads of cash? All these choices and more are yours. Success is entirely in your hands.
