Initial Notes
For those of you wanting to plan out your streets a tad bit better, this quick list of buildings should help you figure out how much space you need to leave to place the buildings you want!

Either go to each building section on the right, or use CTRL + F to search for a specific building. (Searching may only support English for now)

Each building, and place-able upgrade, will have a [width] x [depth]. Typically buildings will require road connections along its width. Place-able upgrades will also link to its parent building on the width side.

For example: If a building is shown as 10 x 5, the road may need to be 10 long to ensure all connections.

Guide is actively being updated with footprints and images of the new buildings. This will take some time, with the remaining to-do list below.
  • Parks & Recreation
  • Signature Buildings
  • Updates to building upgrades, showing which are single-use

    Note: New buildings added to zoning may be tough to do and take a significantly longer time. I will be having a look through and see how feasible a "Update XYZ - New zoning buildings" may be

Closing
As more buildings are added, I shall try keep this up to date so people have an easy reference as they build their cities.

Please let me know, via comment, if anything is wrong, missing or could be improved! I may be doing some styling passes just so its not as text heavy as it is currently.

PS: Paradox, please just add this info to the building tooltips! Would be super handy for people who want to plan their districts and their building placements!

@Patb095 yes, DLCs and region packs may have different footprints. For example, the US Northeast pack has very few 5- or 6-deep buildings.
Patb095 18 Apr @ 7:52am 
Does DLC footprint on res, com and ind differ from this guide?
Patb095 13 Apr @ 5:59am 
Yeah great job !
nicojesse 22 Mar @ 10:48pm 
Absolutely love this guide! Looking forward to the update with the new world asset packs!

Do homes level up and change appearance? I find that all my low density housing looks trashy but I’ve seen videos where people have mansions or modern looking homes
Venexis  [author] 7 Sep, 2024 @ 4:12pm 
Thank you all for the comments. Im going to be getting this updated over the next bit (I don't know how long that may be!). I've been away from the game for a fair while, so just jumped on to look and theres certainly a bit missing.

Keep an eye out for the updates. Ill get the new services added, ive already fixed a few mistakes, and ill be adding something like "Single Use" on building upgrades you can only place once. Will just need to sit down for a while and get all the new shiny things checked!

Hello Venexis, the new updates brought in quite a few new buildings, would you like help updating this guide?
Sageillumini 9 Jul, 2024 @ 6:48am 
It would be great if you could update for the new service buildings - the footprints are on the wiki but the images are not. It's also unclear on the wiki what part of the footprint it refers to - especially with the elevated stations. Thank you, this guide has been invaluable.
