Build limits

Most rooms you can build as many of as you can afford and find room for. A few are capped per tower, the same caps the 1994 game had. When you hit one, the game tells you which limit stopped the build.

Width 375 tiles
Highest floor 100
Lowest floor B9, nine floors underground
Sky lobbies Floors 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90
Limit Covers Cap
Elevator shafts Standard, service and express together 24
Cars per shaft Any elevator 8
Stairs and escalators All flights together 64
Standard and service span Floors one shaft may cover 30
Express span Floors one shaft may cover The whole tower

The 24 shafts are one pool: an express doesn’t get its own allowance. That is how the original worked, and it makes every express shaft a real decision.

Room Cap per tower
Security 10
Medical Center 10
Cinema 16
Party Hall 16
Aquatic Center Modern 8
Metro Station 1 (Modern 3)
Wedding Hall 1

Classic Cinemas and party halls share their 16 between them, as the 1994 save file kept one list for both.

Modern Cinemas and party halls each get 16 of their own.

Modern A tower may run up to three metro stations, all on one line beside the first (Metro Station).

Most rooms also wait for a star rating before they appear in the build menu. Each room’s page says which, and the table of every room lists them all.
