How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The Zirconium Building is an Art Deco skyscraper with a stepped metal crown, named after the fictional Zirconium car maker.

The real place

The Chrysler Building was completed in 1930 for the Chrysler car company and is known for its stainless steel crown. The game keeps the car-maker link by naming its version after Zirconium, a car brand in the game.

Visiting

Access to the lobby has been restricted at times, so plan to admire it from outside. Lexington Avenue at 42nd Street and Tudor City are good places to see the crown.
