If you could have a 5 story building all to yourself, what would each story be for?

One thing this prompt doesn’t factor in is the horizontal dimensions of the building, only the vertical. So, I’m going to play with that! I know several buildings in my local downtown that are interconnected, so technically we could take one as an example or just use the full length/width of the downtown city block (minus the alley ways). I think I’d have it be the full length of the city block and only go up to the alley on the width. This would make it roughly 150 feet long from East to West, and roughly 390 feet long North to South. Quite a lot of real estate, especially if it’s five stories!

Personally, I’d start with living quarters. The building is mine to do whatever I want with it, so I might as well live in it. I’d like to have a two- or three-story segment on the south side of the building as my personal space. Maybe 50 feet long, with that longer side facing south, and then 25 feet wide. I could have a massive home in there, with an open concept loft design in part of it. The rest of the third, fourth, and fifth levels throughout the building could be apartments.

Next would be some other form of revenue generation. I’m thinking a bowling alley and arcade could occupy the space beneath my home. I wouldn’t want to subject that kind of noise to the other tenants, so I’d probably make the remainder of the space above it into something other than apartments. Maybe offices? Then I could put restaurants or boutiques/shops on the first two levels beneath the remainder of the apartments.

Okay, so really I just ended up designing my own downtown building that’s very similar to others here. Except the bowling alley. We don’t have one downtown.

Now that I think about it, maybe I’d do a multi-story laser tag arena in part of it? Oh, or maybe multi-story indoor paintball! I’ve always wanted something like that.

I have a bunch of ideas, and now I can’t decide what I would really do with my fictional building.
