We've expanded Zenerate's quick concept library with a new option: Linear Tower. Perfect for high-density, multi-tower projects, Linear Tower gives you more flexibility in shaping large-scale residential or mixed-use developments.
This feature makes it simple to configure towers with customizable cores, corridors, and unit mixes—then generate multiple site plan options in seconds. You can also fine-tune layouts, adjust separation distances, and experiment with parking strategies to match project requirements.
Here's how you can start generating and editing Linear Tower solutions in the Zenerate app 👇
