I want a floor for a paper mill!

Wait, where the fuck am I gonna put my stockyards and slaughterhouse, then? I need easy access to the roof to graze the cattle.
God help me, I actually kind of like that building. I know it’s empty and shoddily constructed, but I think it looks pretty cool.
I think they mean Star Destroyer shaped. Star Destroyers are the iconic arrowhead-shaped Imperial ships; the Death Star is a sphere.
Why send all your sewage offsite to be processed when it can be done right here in house at Little Nemo’s Mile High Waste Recycling Facility on the 73rd floor? We cut the transportation costs and pass the savings on to you.
Everyone’s going pretty high up at the moment- I’ll take the second floor for my tiger sanctuary.
They do like stalking passers by out the windows, so they’d rather be lower to the ground, I think.
Well if you’re an Evil Mastermind building a lair then you have to answer the all important question of what’s in the basement: lava pool or scorpion pit?
You can’t really have* both* since the fumes from the lava will kill off the scorpions, and a pit full of dead scorpions just doesn’t have the same effect. Lava pits are more dramatic but need much more expensive upkeep, since you just have to make sure to drop in the occasional hero or underling into the scorpion pit to keep them fed.
On the other hand, when you self destruct your base it’s much more dramatic when the whole skyscraper just pancakes straight down into the lava. If you do it right you can get this really cool red-underlit-then-fireball effect as it collapses.
But if you’re just dropping it in from helicopters … she’ll be right mate?
Where are you building this thing? Might I suggest on top of an ancient Native American burial ground.
I think the cattle operation should go on the floor above the meat-packing. It just makes sense to keep those two near each other.
I’ll run an organic composting operation on the floor below the abbattoir. You can put the air returns for the HVAC in my space if you’d like; I’d appreciate the breeze, and there will be all kinds of good “natural” smells to fill the building instead of those awful chemical air fresheners.
As for definition two, I’ll nominate the local “Skyline Towers.” A truly awful rape of the landscape which is sold as a “lifestyle” building to its unfortunate occupants. There is a murder or a suicide there every year. It is also quite poorly built.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_Towers_collapse
I’ll take the floor below it for a bike and electric scooter rental shop.
I saw a program about a “skeleton processing” facility. People would bring their dead (or delightfully decomposing) creatures to this business, which had several nasty means of cleaning: cooking pots, acid baths, and my all-time favorite, containers of scavenger type insects who produce an almost polished pristine skeleton.
I could probably sublet a portion of my floor to a taxidermy place!
If some of the scavenger bugs manage to escape, well, whoopsie! I’m sure they can find entertainment on other floors!

I’ll take care of it with my open septic tank right at the HVAC inlet. I won’t charge too much, I promise.
Was it this place? Mike Rowe went there for a “Dirty Jobs” episode, where they showed how they processed animal bones, and NatGeo showed how they processed human specimens, which were from people who had donated their bodies to science.
It was fascinating although obviously not for everybody.
Ok, you can take the second floor, but I’m taking floors 3 to 20 for my bulk tire storage business. If I take out the floors, I’ll be able to stack the tires higher.
I’ve moved my saw, lathe, and grinder into one of the lofts on the 52nd floor. C’mon by if you want to see art made from an underused medium: asbestos.
Just watch out for the trap door.
It seems that everyone wants either the lower floors or the very uppermost ones. How about we use some of the less desirable space in the center for the parking structure?
I know, some people might grumble about driving up and down thirty or so stories of ramps just to find a parking place, but we want to encourage our tenants to use mass transit, right?
Forget about the OP’s building: the Johnny Nucleo-designed, tallest, narrowest, 280-story building in all of Melonville was beset by some inconveniences like, oh, fire, trapping luminaries like Edith Prickly, Guy Cabellero, Dr. Tongue, Bruno, hookers, and others in the top lounge, which was of course was a combination revolving restaurant and nuclear reactor.
