Westwood Tower

Westwood Tower is one of the most iconic buildings in Paragon Bay. Located in Central Heights, it rises 100 floors above the streets and is often called a “vertical city within the city.” More than a thousand people live and work here, with many more visiting daily.

It serves not only as the headquarters of Westwood Inc, but as the home of the extended Westwood family and hundreds of their employees.

The lower levels form a large public podium with Westwood-owned stores, restaurants, cafés, fitness centres, libraries, movie theatres and event spaces. Giant holographic billboards float around the exterior, advertising Westwood Inc’s newest movies or shows.

Above the podium, the tower continues upward in blue glass and gold structural lines. Wide circular terraces, known as the Petals, extend outward at several heights. These are private garden levels with tropical landscaping, pools, and residences used exclusively by the Westwood family.

The upper floors house Westwood Pictures’ main offices, production suites, and restricted research areas. A floating ring structure called the Halo encircles the tower and is used for large events, including the annual New Year’s party open to all employees.

Westwood Tower combines corporate operations, employee housing, luxury residences, and family living space under the ever-watching eyes of matriarch “Grandmother” Grace Westwood.

The Grand Podium and Westwood Cineplex (Floors 1-13)

The Grand Podium is by far the busiest part of Westwood Tower, largely because it’s open to the public. It consists of a multi-floor shopping centre, mostly with Westwood-brand stores but also a few independent businesses that were willing to pay for setting up shop in Westwood Tower.

Right above the Podium is Westwood Cineplex, a 12-screen cinema complex that shows Westwood movies.

Oh, and there’s also the four basement levels below the tower.

The Spire (Floors 14-70)

The Spire makes up the bulk of Westwood Tower, and it’s where most of the actual work is done. It houses the corporate headquarters of Westwood Inc, along with residential and hospitality spaces that support the company’s executives, employees, and distinguished guests… at least the guests who aren’t given access to the Westwoods’ personal residences higher up.

The Westwood Family Petals (Floors 70-85)

The Petals are essentially the private Westwood family estate, high above the city. While ostensibly part of Westwood Tower, it’s structurally separated from the rest of the Tower — you don’t get access here unless you’re a Westwood, are part of the particularly trusted domestic staff, or have special permission from one of the Westwoods. The Petals are accessed through separate elevator banks with biometric scanning and discreet, but constant security.

Even flying or high-climbing metahumans can’t easily access the Petals thanks to the security measures… and anti-gravity fields around the Petals keeps anyone from accidentally having a fatal fall. (One of the Westwood grandchildren, Sarah, used to deliberately jump from the terraces just so she’d get caught by the anti-gravity field, but Grandmother Grace have forbidden her from doing it ever again.)

The Petals are not just residences. They are legacy space. This is where the Westwood family have complete privacy, and where no snooping reporters or paparazzi ever gets to snoop… and the family can get up to whatever they like.

Top Secure levels (Floors 86-100)

Even more exclusive and secure than the Petals; the top 15 floors are where Westwood Inc. keeps the projects and plans that aren’t meant for ordinary corporate circulation — restricted divisions, experimental work, and operations that function quietly and out of sight. Access is limited to a very small circle, and most of the tower’s employees will never even know what happens up there.

And on the very top lives Grandmother Grace herself.

- 86–95: Westwood Inc. Top Secret Headquarters
  - Black-level clearance offices, strategic command suites, classified project rooms, intelligence analysis, secure data vaults, covert communications hub, Screening Room Zero for unreleased or restricted content.
- 96–98: Classified Labs & Project Divisions
  - Experimental VFX labs, deepfake and synthetic media development, off-books soundstages, prototype immersive tech labs, Project Veil division combining entertainment assets with meta-technology research, reinforced containment chambers where necessary.
- 99: The Hidden Floor
  - Nobody knows what’s on this floor. There’s no entrances to it other than a closed staircase that leads from Grandmother Grace’s suite below. Only she knows what… or who… might be hidden on this floor; even the other Westwoods don’t know. And they don’t ask either.
- 100: The Crown – Grandmother Grace’s Private Suite
  - Private residence and executive sanctum, circular office beneath a 360-degree glass dome (120), personal archives, private audience chamber.

The Halo

Finally, the Halo is the most iconic part of Westwood Tower… and the most visible impossibility. A gravity-defying, slowly rotating ring that circles around the building just below the Petals, suspended in open air with no visible supports.

The Halo is built for spectacle. It houses massive themed party venues, franchise-inspired halls, bars, performance stages and light platforms, along with the Zero-G Dance Sphere and the main New Year’s Ballroom, which can hold more than four thousand guests. Once a year, every employee of Westwood Inc. is invited up for the New Year’s celebration, hosted personally by Grandmother Grace — who greets everyone warmly, remembers more than she should, and quietly decides who is worth watching in the year ahead.

The Halo is the place for a good deal of Paragon Bay’s more spectacular events. It’s accessible by sky elevators, or from short-range teleportation chambers in Westwood tower.
