Megabuilding

Megabuildings, also referred to as megablocks, are mega-arcologies in the Cyberpunk universe. These buildings dominate the Night City skyline by 2077, functioning like cities within the city.

Overview
Continuations of the late 20th and early 21st centuries' concept of arcologies, megabuildings were constructed in Night City after the Fourth Corporate War - such as in the Watson Development - to house the thousands of displaced residents due to the AHQ Disaster. This new generation of post-War multipurpose structures were stylized after the New Harbor Mallplex, and later became one of the main residential options in Night City by 2077.

Each megabuilding houses approximately 128,000 people at maximum, having over 8,000 apartments, with capacities of 16 people per apartment. Megabuildings also provide services such as residential housing, entertainment, food, and other services common to shopping mall experiences. Each apartment comes with mediacorp-promoted cable television, radio, and sensory feed access. These buildings also have rented corporate cops, although crime still remains a problem in many of them. Nomad workers are utilized in the construction of many megabuildings, up to hundreds working on one at a time.
