[Peter]

Cool I'm glad you are starting to introduce some of these buildings and give some background info on them.

Never did introduce these 3 buildings, as they where actually one of the first in New Staunton.

One NexxonOil Plaza
Completed in 1978, 513 feet high, one of the largest buildings in the city. Houston based NexxonOil, 2nd Largest company on Earth, biggest competitor, Galoil, a branch of Galviston Enterprises headquartered a few blocks away. Originally planned for a twin tower (Now Kent Enterprises occupies the spot) which was cancelled after the real estate dip of 1979. The tower suffered much damage in the riots last month.

Kent Enterprises Plaza
Completed in 1990, 641 feet high, one of the tallest and thinnest buildings in Staunton (75 feet width). Known for its gigantic "KENT" logo atop the tower. The Tower is one of the most prestegious office buildings in the city. As it is a thin building, but means having every office with a unobstructed view. The 10 Story Base dose take up most of the block, for larger offices, but is also home to many amenities like an Indoor swimming pool, indoor Ice skating rink (popular with the locals in the winter), and a rooftop garden. Kent Enterprises is a large Staunton Based multi-international company, headquartered in Staunton, Paris, Johannasburg, and Osaka.

Dean Whitney Plaza
Completed in 1991, part of "Kent Square" involving NexxonOil, Kentprises, and Dean Whitney. The Tower is very thin (75 feet width), 456 Feet high. The tower is headquarters by Dean Whitney (World HQ in NYC) since 1991. The Tower is home to a large plaza, expansive lobby, and like the Kentprises Tower, it is very luxurious in terms of Office Space.

Those look great!

The buildings are great! The one in the middle reminds me of the Goldman Sachs Tower in Lower Manhattan. Not the one u/c, but the one they are currently occupying.

[Patrick]

Thanks, yeah that tower is based off of the Goldman Sachs Tower. But personally the Kent Tower is one of my favorites.

Yess, should it stay? I was thikning of replacing it.

[Derek]

Can we see it in a skyline shot kind of zoomed in on it, but still showing the surroundings?


(I like it, don't worry )

[Patrick]

I've run out of ideas for now, so Staunton's on a break. School is back, so I'll be pretty busy. I also got another job offer. So far I havent got payed from the 1st company as we are looking for clients. But this seems promising!

Here are some plans I have, I'm not so satisfied with the skyline, this pic shows you some of the towers i have in mind, including a 2nd bridge and a new Cannery Park.

Dose anyone have any suggestions for the skyline? Specifically from this angle?

[Mocholate]

are you talking about the 3D model job ?

how bout a small Island with something on it-maybe a Gaol(Jail) ?

[Austin55]

i like,your to good,I dont have sool for 3 mo weeks

[Dac150]

My suggestion is yes building the second bridge. Also, YOU NEED TO WORK ON OTHER AREAS BESIDES WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY BUILT! Not trying to be hard on you, but expand the skyline in another direction, build highways, an airport, a chinatown, the second bridge, etc...

Focus on creating other areas. Downtown is already great, but the rest of the city needs to be developed. Sorry if I sound like and idiot but, a year on Downtown is enough, start expanding your empire.

Then it would really look like Manhattan. That would resemble Rikers Island (the cities prison).

Yes! I really want to, but once you'd discover the lag of Staunton it would just be impossible to do anything.

I'm a perfectionist, and I cant move to another area until I'm satisfied with one. But like I said before, expect a Chinatown by November - December. (Yes I know, a long time away)

Thats actually a great Idea! Thanks! A prison under the skyline of Downtown looks like a cool idea.

I'll stick a prison in the harbor, like Alcatraz, but modern.

[Dac150]

It could be where the worst criminals in the world go. Or something.

[Austin55]

I would go commit some crimes so I could stare out a 2 1/2 inch hole at staunton's Zexy skyline all day
whats a modern prison look like?

[CGII]

The only proposal you've made I like is the one to the left. Staunton is already dangerously similar to NY, adding a second bridge and three large buildings similar to the Water Street cluster would just cement Staunton as an exaggeration of NY.

[Austin55]

the tallest remind me of 2o Exchange place

[Dac150]

Not neccesarily two bridges, but get rid of those two highrise proposals.
