After some temporary absences, Chloe Sullivan decided to work as Watchtower permanently, working as a journalist by day, assisting heroes with her computer skills by night. The Watchtower was a large tower building located in the heart of Metropolis, with a loft apartment overlooking the whole of the city. It was the tallest building in Metropolis, towering over LuthorCorp Plaza. Its exterior appearance is based on the real life Sun Tower, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The external appearance of the loft is similar to an observatory with a copper clad roof, giving it its distinctive green appearance. It has circular windows surrounding it and one main window through which one can see the whole city.

At the top has what appears to be a bell-tower like the cathedrals typically have. The Watchtower building is located in a corner and covers an entire block. It has many small windows and the tower rises from the middle of edificion. The tower widens as it approaches the ground and this causes that three divisions can be seen on it. The first set ends with in a rooftop of the main building from where the other two sections rise up finishing in the apartment.
Inside, Watchtower is divided into two floors with stairs on both sides of the room. It has hanging lights and the walls are decorated with reliefs. Several drawers and furniture are scattered about the room as well as several books and a coffee machine. The main door is shaped like a semicircle with stained glass and is the only route to the elevator. There is also a door located on the right side that leads to a hallway.
Technology
Watchtower is equipped with technology that is provided by Queen Industries. After Tess Mercer takes it over, she presumably also outfits it with LuthorCorp technology. Later, Booster Gold contributes some of his technology from the future to the systems. The Watchtower computers are capable of downloading large amounts of information at high speed, has a fairly comprehensive database and uses the most modern technology in communication. The desk used by Chloe is quite modern with a touch screen in the center from which she can operate several actions and is connected to the main monitors.
Chloe connected the server of Watchtower to all the cameras on the streets of Metropolis and thus produced a high surveillance system that proved useful on more than one occasion. Watchtower also has its own dedicated orbital satellite which was also developed and provided by Queen Industries. It also features a GPS system to track abnormal activity around the globe and also serves to track the team members.
Security and Vulnerabilities
Initially, Watchtower did not have much of a security system and could allow anyone to track the signals transmitted and find its location. When this became an issue, Chloe developed a modern security system using funds from Watchtower's main supplier, Queen Industries. The main elevator has a secret fingerprint detection system, leading to a digital scan and a password system. Although only team members have access to these passwords and system, the security can be circumvented using a handheld fingerprint scanner and a password hacker.
