The best way to Get Skyscrapers in Cities Skylines

Skyscrapers, which are impressive structures taller than others, allow for more people to gather in smaller spaces. They save space due to their high height and multiple floors. There aren’t specific buildings called “skyscrapers” in Cities: Skylines but don’t worry; there’s something close enough.

Skyline is the solution to building skyscrapers within Cities. The structures will get taller if they are upgraded. Continue reading for more information about these high-rises.

Construct high density zones

These high-density areas must be built by a city that has at least 7,000 residents. This will ensure that the city is well-developed and has a solid infrastructure.

Players should already be catering to the citizens’ needs, and that’s why more people will move to the city.

You can now assign zone types to specific areas within your city. To get tall buildings and skyscrapers, you’ll need to build one of these on an empty site:

• High-Density Residential Area
  
• Commercial Zone of High Density
  
• Office Zone
  

At first, you’ll notice that the buildings aren’t very tall. Even though they’re high-density zones, you’ll still have to upgrade them to reach Level 5. That’s when the tallest buildings can genuinely be called “skyscrapers.”

You can click on any building to check its information after your zone has finished construction. Initially, you might notice there’s no level-up information available. Don’t panic; this is natural.

Upgrading your Buildings

If you wish to make the game show you the buildings’ upgrade requirements, the best course of action is to fulfill the residents’ needs. You might already have public transportation, crematoriums, and other facilities in the vicinity, but sometimes it’s not enough.

There are many buildings that you might consider building nearby.

You can build these structures and go back to tallest buildings in high density zones. With some work, you’ll eventually see the requirements for upgrades appear.

These requirements can vary as some citizens require education while others desire better law enforcement. It doesn’t matter what their needs are, the quicker you can address them, the better the buildings will look.

Eventually, you’ll reach Level 5, and that’s when the buildings become tall skyscrapers. That building might give you a sense of pride. However, don’t stop there, as you can always raise more zones to this status.

You can toggle between European or Vanilla style zones in the default game. Skyscrapers only appear in the Vanilla style, which means you’ll have to switch to it. European buildings are not as tall.

IT Cluster – Green Cities DLC

Standard Office Zones don’t have skyscrapers, but if you purchased the IT Cluster DLC, you could switch your Office Zones to this style. Once you have fully gradated the area, this will guarantee a tower.

Shining Pillars of the City

You’re going to need plenty of development to support the many skyscrapers you want to have. However, if you’re constantly catering to people’s requests, you’ll have an easier time. Your city will also reap the benefits of these new buildings.
