SimCity BuildIt - Commercial Build Times

All of the commercial buildings can be upgraded to decrease the build times. The upgrades come in three steps: a 10%, 15% and 20% decrease. I've documented all of the upgrade costs and build times in the tables below.

These upgrades will benefit the players that keep their commercial buildings busy 24/7. In my opinion, the Farmer's Market, Building Supplies, and the Hardware Store are the three that benefit you the most.

    1. In order to find out what level you unlock the various items, you can refer to the chart at http://www.simcityplanningguide.com/2015/01/simcity-buildit-price-list.html. Make sure you have every factory built too.
