About Project Highrise
"Project Highrise" is a skyscraper building and management sim. Your job as the architect and developer is to build world-famous skyscrapers that will be the envy of the entire city, masterpieces of art and engineering. And from the moment you break ground, every decision rests with you: planning and construction of the building, finding tenants and moving them in, providing them with the utilities and making sure everyone is happy, and of course keeping an eye on your bottom line. A modern skyscraper is a complex beast: an intricate machine made up of interlocking systems, which depend on each other in their daily function, and it will take your skillful touch to keep all of them are running smoothly - and profitably.
