New Harbor Mallplex

The New Harbor Mallplex (officially named New Harbor Shopping Redevelopment and Residential Complex) was a multi-level shopping plaza and mini-arcology situated at the New Harbor Area, on the eastern side of Central Night City.

History
Like many urban mallplexes in the United States, the New Harbor Mallplex began life as a heavily secured shopping center set around a core shop originally owned by the national Shop-Mart chain. This shopping mall was known as the Harbor Mall and was built in the 1980s. Vacated and destroyed during the 1990s Collapse, the building ruins were demolished and a new mall was built on its place, being inaugurated in 2010.

By 2011, the New Harbor 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 it became.

The structure was destroyed by shellfire during the Fourth Corporate War in 2022. The megabuildings constructed during the Time of the Red were modeled after the Mallplex.

Overview
The New Harbor Mallplex is a massive structure with almost five thousand people living packed into its labyrinthine corridors. Its residential areas 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).
