Tidbit the 1st:
The tallest building in Aurora City is the Cosmopolitan Inn (aka “the Cosmo”). It rises 43 stories, not including the equipment, antennas and lightning protection on the roof. The height of all other construction in the city is capped at 39 stories by ordinance. Traditionally, this restriction also applies to the greater metro area (GMA). The influx of high-profile businesses and corporations has applied significant pressure to revise the ordinance, but the ban is unlikely to be lifted within the city proper. However, the Mayor has indicated the prohibition might be relaxed for the GMA.
Quick Fact:
Ground level is designated as the 3rd floor above the two-level below-grade parking garage and the 13th floor is not labeled as such. This causes some confusion with new and short-term guests.
