There are some Real-World skyscrapers that aren't yet uploaded that I would like to suggest to be BATted, sorry if these have already been requested: (Places of origin are in parentheses)

(Some of these are future buildings, e.g. under construction or approved)

Freedom Tower (NYC*)
Chicago Spire (Chicago*)
JPMorgan Chase Tower (Houston)
Federation Tower (Moscow*)
International Business Center (Seoul**)
International Commerce Centre (Hong Kong*)
Q1 (Gold Coast, Australia)
Baiyoke Tower (Bangkok)
Bank Of America (Atlanta)
Bank Of America (Houston)
GM/Renaissance Tower (Detroit)
Westin Peachtree (Atlanta)
Jin Mao Building (Shanghai)***
Jing Guang Centre (Beijing)***
Rose Tower (Dubai*)

For clarification:
* Are buildings under construction, not yet completed
** Are buildings approved, not yet under construction
*** These two already exist for download elsewhere, but the first isn't good in appearance, in my humble opinion, the second is available for download, but the BAT itself isn't there, the folder is empty (There's another download, but only the lots and descs are there, not the BAT)

Hello, there, sdc16064! If I may make a suggestion: Pick one or two (at the most) of the buildings on your list that you'd really like to see made, and provide some pictures, too. I couldn't BAT to save my life, but from seeing the work that goes into it, one building can be a challenge, let alone a big list. Just a suggestion, though! Take care!

I don't know how to upload pictures here, but my two main requests are the Baiyoke Tower from Bangkok, (There are two towers, The one I want is the taller one) and the International Business Center from Seoul (You can look for the pictures in Wikipedia or Search).

suplado!

hey -- i would also like to add the Emirates Towers  :)

regarding the Jim Guang centre, version 1 has the model file http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=15918
and I gather version 2 adds ploppable and growable versions (I'm not sure if there's any cosmetic changes) http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=16786
But it worked for me with either V1 or V1 & V2 installed. This photo is V1 as the only plugin in my plugins folder.

I'm going to try to BAT the International Commerce Centre, and if all goes well, it should be finished within a few weeks

Bank of America Already exists my friend!!

I also thought about
AT&T Center, St Louis, MO

US Bank Plaza, St Louis, MO


I definitely think that the STEX and the LEX lack of MODERN low-rise and mid-rise buildings (from 40m to 160m approximately) , like the ones you can see on these pictures of famous American cities. These buildings can fit to many styles, and can be included in little cities as well as huge urban areas.

And you might know thath the Jin Mao is available on the STEX, even if it doesn't look perfect!

I would LOVE to see the AT&T center done.

I've got 2 requests of my own here

1. Commerzbank Tower
   
    I know its a Maxis building, but being a Maxis building its.... of lower quality.

2. Shard of Glass Tower
   
    Need I explain?

I think that Commerzbank Tower is already done check in the famous exchanges websites  ;)

For the Shard the problem is that: to bat a building in progress is very complex, it would be easier when it will be finished

As I know

  • Federation Tower: Simfox has done a big part of them but wait for more progress in RL
  • ICC HK: Paulvmonfort is building it now

This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten, feel the earth move, and then...
