Large apartment buildings are familiar features of city neighborhoods, often standing alongside commercial districts, railroad rights-of-way, and busy streets. The City Apartment Background Building provides the vertical presence of a large urban residence while its background-style design helps conserve valuable layout space. Its height also makes it useful for establishing a convincing city skyline behind lower foreground structures.
