A few years ago, back when the Tower Residences at The Stoneleigh Hotel were no more than a sparkle in Prescott Reality’s eye, one urban Dallas enthusiast couldn’t wait to see the tower rise from the Uptown landscape. Being a resourceful Sim City 4 gamer/planner/mayor, he broke virtual ground and took the development into his own hands.

The sim designer may have embellished a bit by making the tower 40+ stories, but we do appreciate the enthusiasm. If you play Sim City 4, you can download a few Sim City game files (registration and Sim City 4 required) and plop the Tower Residences at the Stoneleigh Hotel into your own simulated cities. More than 5,000 sim gamers have already. Here are the tower’s in-game specifications:
