Skyscrapers & Upgrading
How do you get skyscrapers and high populations ...
To build glass-and-steel luxury skyscrapers in SimCity BuildIt, you must fully upgrade regular Residential Zones while keeping them inside areas with exceptionally high land value. Existing tier-6 buildings that have already finished upgrading cannot be transformed into skyscrapers retroactively.
Follow this step-by-step method to ensure your next tier of residential builds evolve into massive towers:
1. Cover the Zone with Core Utilities
2. Stack Specializations to Boost Land Value
3. Complete All 6 Building Upgrades
4. Relocate Completed Skyscrapers safely
5. Take it Further: Unlock Epic Buildings
If you want the tallest, most futuristic skyscrapers in the game, you can convert your maxed-out regular skyscrapers into Epic Buildings.
Reach Level 24 to unlock the Department of Epic Projects.
Look for a winged helmet icon floating over a fully upgraded regular residential skyscraper.
The type of upgrade is dependant on how many specializations you provide.
None/One - Standard Homes
Two - Premium Homes
Three - Luxurious Homes
1. Create Residential Zones. A residential zone is an area designated for home-building. Tap the residential zone icon on the right of your screen.
2. Toggle between two other views – Land Value and Wealth Forecast. Tap the blue column icon to see your city map in varying shades of blue. This is the Land Value of your city!
3. To see how Land Value will affect your next residential upgrades, tap the yellow hard hat icon to see your Wealth Forecast. Upgrade in the darker orange areas and the buildings could end up looking very luxurious indeed!
