Wealth Forecast - Luxurious

I have dark blue land value which appears to be "High Land Value".  When I first place a residential zone, the wealth forecast is dark orange "Luxurious".  After 2 upgrades, it then turns to medium o...

    Edit: Since posting this I've tested it and the info below is incorrect. Building types are purely dependant on land value. Dark blue giving the tallest buildings. To get to dark blue, you need a total of 9 services, so after level 16, you need all 7 basics (Power, Water, Sewage, Waste, Fire, Police and Health) + any two specializations. I was at level 15 when posting this, hence + 3 specializations. 

    The type of upgrade is dependant on how many specializtions you provide.

    None/One - Standard Homes

    Two - Premium Homes

    Three - Luxurios Homes

    The wealth forecast shows that a home can still be upgraded to a higher level if it gets another service before the next upgrade. Once a building has become a tower it is locked at that specific level. 

    Note that the specialization can be in any combination. For example, to get premium homes you can either give them access to Parks + Education, or Parks + Transportation, or Transportation + Gambling etc.. 

    Ultimately the zones affect what your buildings will look like.

Hi - I am on lvl 11. I got parks, education and transportation, however ony premium houses are builded in the area. Maybe luxury housing also needs a higher level?

    I'm 99% positive that level has nothing to with it. Its been awhile but I'm pretty sure I was spawning luxurious buildings by level ten. I still have more testing to do but I have a suspicion that its not only based on those three specializations but also the amount of population boost percentage wise. I would recommend adding a two square park with a higher pop boost. The peaceful park gives a nice boost for relatively cheap. In fact I would suggest one never uses the single square parks as they give very little boost and they dont use space as efficiently as the two square parks.

    And remember its common for the wealth forecast to fluctuate back and forth. Just be sure its luxurious by the time of your last upgrade.

    Hope that works for you!

      Thank you for reply! In my case - the tile is covered by modern ark park 2x peacefull park, department of education, public library, department of transportation. My population is 56K. Maybe the departments does not give enough percentage to account as "coverage". 

      Your suggestion concerning 2 square parks is helpful.

        I think I know the problem, chris made a point earlier in this thread about how we cant combine buildings from the same spec for an increased boost. You mentioned that you have the department of education and a public library in the same coverage area. Theres apparently no benefit to having this double coverage. Maybe try moving out the dept. of edu. and replace with another spec, maybe gambling.
