Original Article: City Evolution: Madrid Expands into New Territory with the European Modular Apartments: Sports Bar — Upland Official Medium
Quick Take
Madrid gets 13 neighborhoods (3 brand new), two property bundles, and a new region-locked European Modular — the Sports Bar. The structure is only available through the $20 Deluxe Bundle. If you've seen the Restaurant, Ice Cream Shop, or Butcher editions, you already know what you're getting: 2 SU, 3 Living Units, same footprint.

Real Talk
The Sports Bar is the fourth European Modular. Based on the existing three (Restaurant, Ice Cream Shop, Butcher), expect 2 SU and 3 Living Units at a 10.56 UP2 footprint. Worth noting: no SU value or category is disclosed in the article. You're paying $20 for a structure where the stats aren't published until after you buy it.
The city evolution itself is solid — 13 neighborhoods at once gives Madrid real depth, and the 10,000 UPX Standard Bundle is one of the more accessible entry points we've seen. But the structure is locked behind the Deluxe Bundle with no way to buy it separately. That's the model now: structures bundled behind property packs so they can't be individually priced or compared.
How This Compares
| European Modular | SU | Category | Living Units | UP2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurant Edition | 2 | Entertainment | 3 | 10.56 |
| Ice Cream Shop | 2 | Entertainment | 3 | 10.56 |
| Butcher Edition | 2 | Essential | 3 | 10.56 |
| Sports Bar (new) | TBD | TBD (likely Entertainment) | 3 (expected) | 10.56 (expected) |
Based on our structure database of 280+ tracked structures. All European Modulars to date share identical specs. SU and category for the Sports Bar will be confirmed once live in-game.
