What types of buildings can you get, what are their sizes, and what do they generally produce in the background? These are based off the buildings from ten different maps/games played on Steam, 290 buildings in total. Of these, 64.83% were commercial (including Hidden Closets), 35.17% industrial. These figures were last updated 17 April 2024.
The “Common” column shows the likelihood of e.g. a Small Commercial Storage building being a Fruit Stand.
Safehouses
Seemed like a good idea to give these buildings their own section.

 | Small Warehouse (1750 ft³) | 12 Malt Syrup | 28 days (4 turns) | Atlantic City, Chicago |
Hidden Closets (750 ft³)
This is the smallest kind of building you can get. Because you can’t fit much into them – some operations are too small to even get all the building materials in for construction! – they’re great to be turned into extended storage space. They can generally fit T1 alcohol productions without problem.

Strangely, this size pool halls will show the pipe icon and be called “Local Tobacoonist” when you go into the building.
Large Commercial (1500 ft³)
This size of building seems to be surprisingly rare. It says Fine Dining Restaurant, but the name of the business indicated it was actually a hotel.
