Tree Lot Limited Time Building (LTB) – Building Payout and Upgrade Cost – Crime City

The next LTB is out and to keep with the holiday theme, it’s a Tree Lot. I’ve never heard of a Tree Lot going to $65 million, but hey, not much in this game makes sense anymore. As with other buildings of late, the buy-in is a little steep. This won’t be a beginners building. As mentioned, the initial cost is $65 million with an initial payout of $343k. The payout time of 10 hours can be a little awkward. The chances of it getting robbed are pretty high at that rate. I know from personal experience that Haunted Church is a sitting duck sometimes.

If you upgrade this all the way, you’ll pay $16 Billion and get an income of $25 million per 10 hours or $50 million per day. That makes it a pretty decent building overall. However, if you have modifiers, you can get away with paying around $8 Billion and earn $42 million per 10 hours or a nice $84 million per day. That’s not too shabby if you hit the collection times right.

What do you get for the trouble? The Tree Cutter which has the following stats: 24,747A / 30,246, +1% Melee Defense.

As always, is this worth it? Apart from the collection time it’s a good building to have. The upgrades aren’t too bad, especially with modifiers. This will be a tough on for lower level IPH players to get. And of course there is the question, if you bought the previous building, the Wild Turkey Saloon, is it worth getting this building or adding an upgrade to your previous building? I haven’t really worked it out, but seems like it might be better to have 2 different LTBs for now with their short upgrade times so you can always come back to them later after accumulating more cash.

I already have building underway and will start the second right after it finishes. I plan to upgrade both of these to Level 10, even though I won’t be done in time for the big prize. I have the modifiers so I think it’s worth the effort to get both and build them up.

What’s are your thoughts? This building worth it? Should players grab this or work on upgrading other buildings?

Good Luck!

      I just wanted to say that you have a very informative guide that I look forward to every month when a new LTB comes out. reading this has definitely influenced me to buy two of these thanks bro for all the hard work

      I would focus on two Wild Turkey’s if you don’t have them both at 10. Coupled with lv10 NC’s it’s a very strong collection cycle. This LTB is good for a few upgrades however. I’ll probably go to lv6 or 7 for the rewards while I continue upgrading more fiscally beneficial buildings.

      Any news on a new ltb?

      No news on the new building yet. I read it was ready, but since they are now adding accomplices as rewards, it needed some updates and changes. I’m actually kind of happy we don’t have a new building. Good time to get in some upgrades and let the cash roll in.

      From what I saw there will be an accomplice with 250/250 for stats at level 10, so I’m sure they will make up the gold purchases from this lull.

      My Wild Turkey’s are Lvl 7 and 6. I’ve actually been upgrading the Empire Watch defense building. The prices are dirt cheap and the defense update isn’t a bad thing. I didn’t even know the silly was there until someone pointed it out to me.
