Cities: Skylines II – Signature Buildings (and Their Positive Effects) Guide

Signature Buildings

Сrеdit gоеs to !

Signature Buildings are unique, ploppable zoned buildings that fall into the zone categories. They grant XP awards and provide various benefits to their surroundings.

Each signature building has its own unlocking requirements such as reaching certain Progression Milestones, attaining a specific citizen Happiness level or having a certain number of cells zoned. Once unlocked they are free to build but can only be constructed once.

Signature buildings function similarly to regular zoned buildings and contribute to the zone-based economic cycle. A residential building welcomes new residents while a commercial building, office, or factory seeks a suitable business to occupy it.

The same laws of success and failure affect the companies residing in the signature buildings as any other business. They require a suitable workforce, compete for the same customers, and try to turn a profit to be successful.

Each signature building also has one or more positive effects. These range from effects affecting the neighborhood to effects that are city-wide.

Some affect citizen Well-being and city Attractiveness for tourists while others improve the city’s entire industrial sector or boost high-level education effectiveness and more! Either way, they offer interesting new effects and options for your city.
