- For the buildings in Bloons TD 5, see Specialty Buildings.
In Bloons Monkey City, buildings can be built in order to increase the numbers of towers, allow research of upgrades, or facilitating such things. Some buildings deal with the generation or storage of City Cash, while others deal with power. The following article will show what buildings can be built in Bloons Monkey City.
Base Buildings
Base Buildings, sometimes referred to as Unit Buildings or Monkey Buildings, allows Monkeys and both Road Spikes and Pineapples for use on the battlefield. Each will take some City Cash and time to build, and rewards XP upon being built.

Upgrade Buildings
Upgrade buildings are built to research upgrade paths for different towers. The Monkey Academy is required to complete the "tutorial", and all other upgrade buildings can be built at one's discretion.
Also, only one of each upgrade building can be built, and upon building the Micro Agriculture Development Building, Banana Farms can be built in-game.

Resource buildings increase the capacity of a currency, like power, and City Cash. The Banana Farm generates City Cash. Level 1 resource buildings can be built, and all subsequent levels are achieved by upgrading Level 1 resource buildings.

Premium Buildings
Premium Buildings are a new addition to BMC that are bought with 10 each and exist solely for your city's decoration and have no effect on gameplay. No experience points are gained from building them, no city cash is spent to build them, and no construction time is used to build them.
Efficient Land Use
There is no way to "grind" XP in Bloons Monkey City, so the only ways to enable additional XP gain are to unlock additional research opportunities, capture additional land, or improve the efficiency of the land that has been captured. Demolishing a building creates "debt" equal to the XP gained for completing the building; this "debt" must be paid by earning that amount of XP before the player's City XP can increase again. Upgrade Buildings, Special Buildings, and Monkey v Monkey buildings (except Bloontonium Storage Tanks and Bloontonium generator) cannot be demolished once built. Below are the buildings that can be built and demolished in order to improve efficiency.
