Tenants
Tenants occupy rooms in your tower. Depending on the room, tenants could be residents (for condos, apartments, or other residential rooms), workers (for offices, businesses, and other facilities), visitors (to shop, eat, or visit attractions), or guests (for hotels or other attractions). Keeping all types of tenants happy is important in running a thriving tower.
Moving in
Tenants move in to your tower when there is a demand for space in your tower and when conditions are right. Check the market demand graph to see how much demand there are for different types of spaces as it will affect how likely different tenants will move into your tower. Tenants generally find a space in your tower and move in during the day.
Residential tenants
The residential demand shows the number of prospective residents that are looking for a place to move in to. The higher the number of prospective residents, the higher the demand and the chances that a resident will move in to your tower.
Lowering prices such as condo sale price or condo fees or rental fees will also help increase the likelihood of a tenant moving in. Likewise, a higher evaluation score will also attract prospective tenants to move in to an empty location.
During times of rapid expansion, you may wish to use advertisements to keep the number of prospects high and to keep the chances of tenants moving in to your tower high.
Office tenants
The office demand shows the number of prospective companies looking for an office space to rent. Again, the higher the number of prospective companies, the higher the demand for office spaces, and the higher the chances that a company will move into an office space in your tower.
Lowering rent price and improving the office space's evaluation through better services and surroundings will also help increase the likelihood of a tenant moving in.
During times of rapid expansion, you may wish to use advertisements to keep the number of prospects high and to keep the chances of tenants moving in to your tower high.
Commercial tenants
The commercial demand show the number of prospective businesses looking for a place to set up a store front. The higher the number of prospective businesses, the higher the chance that a store location will be rented and for the business to move in to your tower.
Again, lowering rent prices and improving the area of the store will help increase the likelihood of a tenant moving in.
During times of rapid expansion, you may wish to use advertisements to keep the number of prospects high and to keep the chances of tenants moving in to your tower high.
Commercial spaces like stores also attract visitors to your tower. How many visitors arrive depends on how attractive your tower is, how many past successful visits have happened previously, and how many types of ways that visitors can arrive at your tower.
Hotel guests / tourists
The final type of tenants is hotel guests and tourists. Hotel demand determines the number of hotel guetss that will stay at your tower. You can see the estimated number of hotel rooms that will be rented out for the night in the market demand graph. This is dependent on factors including the number of rooms available, the hotel rating of your tower, and factors like advertising and past VIP visits. Higher hotel room prices will also reduce the likelihood of hotel guests choosing to stay at your hotel.
Eviction and departure
Unhappy tenants will eventually leave your tower. Check the room evaluation for your tower frequently to find any problem areas. Poor service access, poor commute times, bad environmental factors and high noise areas could cause tenants to deicde to leave and leave your room vacant.
Certain rooms like the condo will also trigger a buyback which may cause short-term cashflow challenges.
When a tenant leaves, they may also leave a negative review that will detract future tenants from moving in. This review's effect fades over time.
