SimCity 4/Landmarks

The landmark menu allows you to build famous real-life landmarks from around the world. Besides aesthetics, they only really have one purpose: to raise commercial desirability.

Because they have very high costs, you should only build them in large metropolises, and even there, you must choose your location carefully. Due to their effect on commercial buildings, it always makes sense to build them within commercial districts. Note that the Alcatraz landmark is the only landmark that has a negative effect on your Mayor Rating. None of the other landmarks directly affect the Mayor Rating.

The following table shows the various landmarks' statistics. Com desirability refers to the desirability increase for commercial buildings.
