Crystal Towers
The Crystal Towers is the economic heart of Skyhome, serving both as the center for mercantile trade, and the section of the city where most trading companies have their home offices and do business. In addition to that, this district boasts restaurants, clubs and brothels, theaters, and the best hotels in town. It is markedly wealthier and cleaner than other districts, as the population is mainly middle to upper middle class and can afford to keep their streets tidy.
The district draws its name from the three mega towers that stretch well above any other building in Skyhome. These towers are Matt Tower, Robert Tower, and Martini Tower. Each of these towers were designed by the mad genius architect Zebadia Crabtree, who took inspiration and technical knowledge for their construction from designs retrieved from the Deadlands. The towers are each marvels of modern engineering, even if the Martini Tower tower was never completed due to the owner going bankrupt during construction. Each is named after the person who commissioned their construction, although two of the towers are currently owned by people who later purchased them.
Additionally in this section of the city are several municipal buildings, and community centers. This portion of the city is also home to Soaring University, the preeminent technical learning institution of Skyhome (Go, Hawks, Go!).
Infrastructure
The buildings in this area range from 6 to 8 stories tall generally, and are made from brick and mortar. The streets are paved with cement, and are slightly wider than other sections of the city. The rooftops above are covered in gardens, both personal, and those that serve as patios for restaurants which serve the higher levels. The skyline is dominated by the three massive towers mentioned above, which loom over every other structure in the district and are visible from any point of elevation in the city. The towers are made of glass and concrete.
