Charter Hill (2020)

Charter Hill is a small section of the city between the crowded streets of Little China and the sludge-slicked waters of Del Coronado Bay. Charter Hill was originally zoned as a residential area, and was much like the larger area to the South (or the "Combat Zone," as it would later be named.)

This area of Night City was one of the hardest hit in 2005, and was nearly destroyed in the Mob War of 2009-2011. After the Corps had cleaned up the city, the Charter Hill area remained pretty well undeveloped and ignored in the larger scheme of things.

What saved Charter Hill was the intervention of the European company Hydrosubsidium. This development, and the glamour and money of the neighboring Hacienda, re-established Charter Hill as one of the more pleasant sections of the city. After five years of development and reconstruction, Charter Hill is now known as having one of the lowest crime rates on Del Coronado Bay. Considering that Charter Hill is no-man's land as far as the gangs are concerned, it's often used as a neutral meeting point to resolve problems(both the Hilton and the Hacienda see heavy use in this way).

Both the Stars theater and the Richard Night Memorial Aquarium bring a fair amount of upper class traffic to the area, and it is said that only the richest of power dealers can afford a lengthy stay at the Hacienda.

C6#2 Warehouses:
These buildings are general warehouse space, and contain various goods. The only thing of interest in them is a small section rented to the Hacienda casino under a cover business; this is where Andrew Scythe keeps all the back-up equipment for the Hacienda's security force when not in use.

C6#3 The Night City Hilton:
This residence hotel has remained relatively unchanged since the Mob War; it primarily caters to mid-line corporate types, and sees a fair business in the high seasons. The rates are average, and the service is good. Rumored to be the hideout of several well-known solos, it's a good place to rest up between missions.

C6#8 The Stars Theatre:
This theater was built early in the post-fall period of Night City, and remained empty for quite some time. Finally, one of the upper-level managers of the Hacienda bought it and renovated it to his personal tastes.

The Stars only shows movies at night, and mainly old movies at that. The most remarkable feature of the Stars is its roof, made entirely of polarized glass. While the roof is covered during the day, at night it is uncovered to reveal the entire night sky during showings.

C6#9 Casa De Sevilla:
This restaurant is run as a subsidiary of the Hacienda and serves the best Spanish food in the city. It's very expensive and well worth it. All of the meats and cheeses are fresh, and the service is first rate. There is also an underground tunnel connecting the two establishments, for use in shuttling food and people from one building to another.
