New Harbor Mallplex

The New Harbor Mall is a Mallpex that covers most of New Harbor Area. Besides just a mall, it's a small city within Night City.

Overview
Like many urban mallplexes in the United States, the New Harbor Mallplex began life as a heavily secured shopping mall set around a core, or magnet store (in this case, the national Shop-Mart chain) and was constructed on the ruins of a previous shopping center vacated during the Collapse. By 2011, the Mall held almost a two dozen varied stores, as well as a small business office tower added in 2012. It was only a minor step for the Mall's corporate owners to add in several levels of residential conapts and suites for its employees, culminating in the final micro-archaeology of today.

Make no mistake; the New Harbor Mallplex is & almost five thousand people live packed into its labyrinthine corridors. Its residential areas now extend deep into the muddy bay bottom surrounding eastern Night City, as well as in two towering levels above the three level public-access shopping mall. The Mallplex has its own food stores, rec-complexes, fire stations, power generators, private police force and broadcast stations. It is a city within a City; self contained and increasingly isolated from the outside by its fortress mentality.

Each level and area of the Mallplex is dedicated to a specific purpose; no space is wasted. Security is amazingly complex and tight, with every square inch covered by cameras and sensors. Mallplex cops are the next best thing to Nazi stormtroopers. Passcards are required just to get from the public areas to the residential sectors; a lost or stolen card carries a 1000 eb fine or potential eviction from the Mallplex.

The Mallplex is broken into eight areas; Wing Areas Alpha, Beta and Gamma (containing conapts, schools and services), the Business Tower (with rental space for businesses usually connected to the Mall in some way), the Administration Complex (with Police, Fire and Administrative Services), the Magnet Store (Shop-Mart)and the Main Shopping Concourse (what people see of the Mall):

Mallplex Living Area Alpha
Also known as the Executive's Tower, this building holds 500 luxury apartments designated for Mallplex Administrators and staff. Most Mallplexers don't have a passcard for this area; you must be an Administrator or other honcho in order to get into this section.
