need more luxury apartments

[persocom01]

How many? I'm spamming luxury lofts (they take up 30 spaces each) and have 16 but I can't seem to hit the magic number required to build the large duplex apartment.

Hi,

please refer to this guide:

that's really helpful, maybe it should be pinned. From what it says though, I have been building luxury lofts in vain? Or rather, considering the number of dependencies I need to build the large duplex apartment, doesn't it make more sense for me to spam luxury lofts ad infinitum?

Basically the player is free to "spam" whatever he / she desire.

You can decide to have a luxury only tower or any combination of tenants.

pardon me if I sound rude, but my point is, what is the point of 'gating' the large duplex apartment behind a number of apartment dependencies when the arguably better apartment, the luxury loft, doesn't have any requirements for one to have prior luxury apartments built?

I mean, if project highrise were a competitive game (and it's not) players would immediately go for the probably more profitable and easier option of filling their whole tower with luxury lofts, skipping the rest of the apartments altogether. It seems to run counter to the style of the rest of the game, which forces you to start with the small and end with the big.

Feel free to suggest to Devs a different requirements' list for lofts...

I've nothing really to add, other than that you make a lot of sense Persocom01

Unless there's a specific requirement (e.g. contract) just skip building any Lg Duplex apartments.
That's a LOT of space needed (apartments + services) just to build a unnecessary place to rent.
