Fairwinds Islands

verticalextropy · #1 Posted: **Oct 9, 2007, 7:21 PM**

Free market loving individuals and corporations from around the world funding a consortium are building for themselves a safehaven of finantial and medical freedom in the middle of the ocean: the emerging Archipelago-Nation of Fairwinds.
Major Banking, Software and Pharmaceutical firms are waiting for the infrastructure to be ready to relocate their HQ to Fairwinds.

So far the first permanent building is the Fairwinds Volco Hotel and Marina
which offers both hotel suites in the main building and office floors in the tower, equiped with secretarial, accounting and IT butling services.

As for today, all of the 350 resident citizens are staying and doing business at The Volco.

The hotel has a very professional and well thought out design. The story to the city is interesting.

thanks, it is located on Mayflower Island, the first one to emerge.

And I'd like to change the fact that these wealthy individuals and corporations are not in search of finantial or medical freedom, they already have it, they actually pursue the idea of marketing individual freedom for a wide target of future residents.

This was the original town, now replaced

Nice. The new city is better and the hotel is well designed.
I suggest to
1. Soften edges.
2. Make a city grid.
3. if the city is going to be big don't make too much detail or it will slow you hellaaa...

Those buildings are fantastic!

I've added three 35-story residential hi-rises.

And a skyscraper that don't know if it'll stay but this is how it adds to the skyline.

You're Right!!! I didnt realize it until just now, It surely inspired me subliminally. Now you get to name it!

I noticed that too... Are you going to paint the buildings?
Draw streets and maybe a highway...

The only road so far in need is the one connecting Mayflower Island with the dock, airstrip, power plant, and construction support temporary town. Pics soon.

The Fairwinds Times
Construction booms as Mayflower Island's land value skyrockets!

Dubbed the "Pearl of the North Atlantic" Mayflower Island is experiencing a construction boom. The Fairwinds Landfilling Consortium says nearly all land of this 500m by 350m island has been sold. While most of the investors want to remain in the shadows, two new buildings are completed and information has been released.

The "Radisson Plegaria" is a five story high-ceilings super luxury hotel and leading spa where lavish lodging and treatments are available at obscene prices. The building is an homage to the Portuguese baroque of nearby Madeira Islands.

On the other hand the "St. God's Medical Center", a 78-floors-skyscraper has been built by Swiss Medical Group in hopes of lodging their corporate offices, rehabilitation hotel, as well as the first medical clinic of the nation. At 292m with spire, it is currently the tallest structure in the man-made island.
