The Parkview Tower was one the residential buildings in the Corporate Center district of Central Night City.
History[]
Parkview Tower was constructed in the mid-1990s as the most luxurious, expensive and secure residential tower in Night City. Located in the wealthy Parkside neighborhood and with magnificent views to Lake Park, it was twice as expensive as the adjacent Plaza East Tower, and was accordingly tight. Richard Night, the city's founder, made the building's penthouse his home.
On September 20th 1998, Richard was assassinated in his penthouse suite after being shot by an unknown assailant. The culprit was never apprehended.
Over the following years, Parkivew Tower was home to the richest people in the world. Residents varied among local millionaires and billionaires, foreign arms merchants, dictators, corporate heads, celebrities, and the city's corporate VIPs. By 2020, the penthouse was owned by an eccentric arms dealer and filthy-rich billionaire known as Omar Khadabhi, who rarely saw the building, as he spent much of his time on his three-hundred foot yacht and his other houses around the world.[1]
Layout[]
Parkview Tower was forty-five stories tall, with secure underground vehicular areas, and heliports and AV-4 pads on the roof. The building had its own infirmary and a tactical rescue go-team on call at all times, as well as a security team consisting of armed plainclothes agents contracted from Arasaka.
The building included fine restaurants, shops and markets open to the public, but the residential areas and infirmary were inaccessible and very secured. The highest floor consisted of a luxurious penthouse suite.[1]
