Gathering Area$500,000$50,000/QThe rest are in the structure where many people gather.***Ignoring that non-sensical description, this appears to be a lobby for the underground mall of the area of the structure.

Subway Station$1,000,000$100,000/QAn item to draw the people from outside of the structure. It can only be placed on floor B10.**Getting the Subway Station this early was a bit surprising. In SimTower, it didn't show up until four stars.
