Best strategy for buying buildings for your city

For players looking to purchase high-end Tier 16 buildings, the numbers clearly show that waiting for Double Gem events and using gems to buy buildings provides substantially better value than purchasing with Building Bucks directly.

When comparing the actual dollar cost of obtaining the same building through both methods, Double Gem purchases consistently outperform Building Bucks, and the advantage becomes even larger when paired with Lifetime Gem Bonus Perks that are earned as you progress in the game.

Great breakdown, @Brandon4555.
The general consensus over the years has always been that buying gems during Double Gem days gives by far the best return on investment. Most of the other bundles and direct Building Bucks packages simply don’t offer anywhere near the same value. The charms, party passes, and pets included in those promos are mostly fluff - they really don’t add much unless you happen to be specifically collecting them. Thanks for putting together the math to confirm it!
