The Construct

The Construct
This is the sole construction corporation in the city, responsible for building and improving and tearing down buildings and roads - essentially all construction work in the city. Operated as a robotic hive-mind, it has zero human employees.

This megacorp is remarkable for its unusual economy, and starts with effectively zero funds (but makes money very rapidly, because every megacorporation in the city has no choice but to buy their buildings from The Construct).

Working with this megacorporation unlocks the billboard technology tree.

Monopolies

Services
This megacorp facilitates the buying and selling of buildings, as well as their upgrades. This is done transparently, so there is no special menu for it - whenever you buy or sell a building through its context menu, The Construct's part of the deal occurs automatically.
