The Tower, as it appears during the events of Crackdown.
Corridor Tower (also known as "Wang's Skyscraper"), was a large skyscraper located in the Corridor, home to Shai-Gens Kingpin/Director: "Zuang Lun Wang". It was easily be noticed by its huge size in the entirety of Pacific City.
History[]
Crackdown[]
Rising from the heart of Pacific City’s Corridor district, the Corridor Tower stands as a monolith of power and opulence. Known also as "The Tower", this architectural marvel is the main stronghold of the Shai-Gen Corporation, a symbol of their unyielding grip on the city. The tower’s silhouette pierces the skyline, reaching an imposing height of approximately 350 to 400 meters, making it the second tallest structure on the island, second only to the Agency Tower.
As one approaches the tower, the steel glass structures layout slowly becomes all noticeable one step at a time. The Lower Ground serves as the private parking area for the sleek and wealthiest vehicles. The Ground Floor is a less welcoming lobby and more of a fortified gateway, guarded by soldiers and sealed with highly protective gates only the most daring would attempt to try and breach. Each floor above unfolds uniquely in it's own way, from trophy-laden halls on the second floor, to the more expansive third floor, every level of the building is all meticulously designed at every setting and point. With a Zen Garden on the eighth floor serving as a tranquility of peace amidst all the chaos from below.
The pinnacle of the Skyscraper is mos noteably it's Penthouse, the domain home of kingpin Zuang Lun Wang himself. It is here that the ultimate power resides, surrounded by every conceivable luxury object and formidable units encountered within the building.

The Tower as it appears during the events of Crackdown 2.
In the gritty aftermath of Pacific City’s battles, the Corridor Tower in Crackdown 2 stands as a haunting relic of a once-imposing fortress. A skeletal echo of its original self, and a stark reminder of the chaos that has now engulfed the city. The once gleaming exterior, now marred by the scars of conflict, its reflective surfaces dulled and shattered, the structure though still towering over the Corridor district, is a husk of its once past former glory. With noticable exposed beams and crumbling facades.
The Ground Floor which was once a bastion for security and public maintenance, is now completely locked down from full entry. The Zen Garden which was previously an oasis of bueaty, is now completely overgrown and ruined, a small metaphor for the city’s descent into apocalyptic madness. The Penthouse once the pinnacle of Wang’s power, is now reduced to another empty battleground space, with all the luxury being stripped away. Leaving only the hanging vantage points above the anarchic streets below. The Corridor Tower in Crackdown 2 serves as a character in its own right, embodying the fall from grace of the Shai-Gen Corporation, and the rise of both the Agency, and a new era of Pacific City.
