Lake Point Tower Scenario

Is there a trick to this? I don't even make it to being able to build 1 br apt before running out of money and in debt and getting further in it. Once I did get pretty far along and realized I needed somewhere to build 3 plazas and no idea where to put them.

Hi,

There is some discussion of it in this thread:

I remember it being a tricky one too, though. In general for Project Highrise, I've found it is important to expand big in whatever tier you're in, to build up a stable income source, and to have a nice nest egg before you go on to the next tier.

Meaning - If you can only build studio apartments, then go all in on them until you're making a tidy profit. Usually, the next tier of apartments (or offices, or shops, or restaurants) will require you to build new support structures in the basement that'll sap your money. It's better to have some cash saved up, so you can put in a bunch of the new, higher tier apartments at once with the proper supports, instead of trying to do it piecemeal, like in a lot of other builder / strategy games.

I got all the way to the last medal which required 250 tenants, 10 luxury lofts, and 30 Prestige. I was completely out of space with 150 tenants and 0 luxury lofts and 31 Prestige. In order to get to 250, I had to start evicting people in order to build the 10 lofts and build smaller units. This caused my Prestige to plummet. My shops/restaurants started jumping ship. I ended up with a -6 Prestige (I had no idea you could go negative) and only 220 tenants but 10 lofts.

I spent all day building that. I don't know how to get 250 tenants in that space with all the necessary stores. Is there a guide somewhere that indicates how many of each type shop is needed for each apt type? That's where I got tripped up.

Did you get the "Zoning Change," upgrade, or whatever it's called in the politics upgrade path. There are 2. I needed both to get the gold but had plenty of space leftover.
