The following is a list of buildings in Civilization VII and its expansions.

Buildings

Only Warehouse buildings are ageless and can be purchased in Towns (unless specifically stated).

Additionally, unique buildings are also all ageless but can only be placed in Cities. Pairing two of these buildings in the same district will create a special unique quarter, that provides additional bonuses.

Adjacency Bonuses

Each building type (except Warehouses) benefits from specific terrain and structural adjacencies, but most follow these general rules:

• All Buildings → Wonders
• Culture & Happiness → Natural Wonders & Mountains
• Gold & Food → Coast & Navigable Rivers
• Science & Production → Resources

Antiquity Age

All Antiquity buildings have 2 Gold and 2 Happiness maintenance cost, with the following exceptions:

• Warehouse buildings have no maintenance cost.
• Gold buildings have no Gold maintenance cost.
• Happiness buildings have no Happiness maintenance cost.
• The Garden also has no Happiness maintenance cost.

Golden Age variants

Golden Age variants of buildings are acquired by completing certain Legacy Paths and spend the Golden Age Legacy Points accordingly to upgrade common buildings into their Golden Age variants. Golden Age buildings preserve all yields, effects and adjacency bonuses through the Age transition into the next Age, but will revert to their common counterparts after that Age is over. There are currently 3 Golden Age buildings in the game:

• Golden Age Academy
• Golden Age Amphitheater
• Golden Age University
