Lakeport 1977 - The 1961 height restriction was lifted in late 1966 for downtown, but is still in effect throughout the rest of lakeport, preventing buildings in those areas from reaching more than 180ft.
For reference, Arlington is the city on the other side of the St Anthony River, and has a population of 123,647 according the 1976 census (not a real city either.)
It is also called "the dirty side" due to its heavy industrial presence, such as automotive and other factories, railyards and coal power plants. Arlington was founded in 1874, the same year as Lakeport.
There will be a city up the lake called Twin Ports, based on Two Harbors, MN, but bigger, though its tallest building will be a grain elevator, since it will be focused on agriculture.
Down the river, Located in the place of duluth is Haywood, with roughly the same population, but it's skyline will be a bit larger than Duluth.
The old Arlington River Bridge was built in 1934, but collapsed in 2014 after years of neglect, with no traffic on the bridge at the time of it's collapse. The bridge in 1977:
Downtown July 10th, 1978
Buildings from left to right, Westport Tower, LDS Tower, Henry Ford Plaza, Lincoln Center, and The Callahan Tower
The Westport Center is a large white modernist office building, it was finished in 1973, next to the LDS tower. It is a landmark for the city of Lakeport, and is the second tallest building in the city at 630ft (192m) (this build was in the original version of lakeport) It was inspired by the Galcorp Tower in Staunton.
The LHS Tower (formerly LDS) has been redesigned, adding new detail, and now the 7th tallest building in the city. Rising to 475ft (144m)
The building is still owned by the Lakeport-Haywood Shipping company, a company which operates many of the bulk carriers, and other freighters that enter the port of Haywood, the company also handles logistics for nearby ports, and the Arlington Railyard, in co-operation with the Arlington Rail Company.
Henry Plaza is made up of three brown modernist buildings, and it is officially known as Henry Ford Plaza when opened in 1968 and it's three buildings have heights of 583ft, 438ft, and 292ft (177m, 133m and 89m.) The Henry Ford Plaza is owned by the Chryoneer Motor Group (this building was also in the original version of Lakeport)
Lincoln Center is still under construction, with one of its buildings nearing completion.
The complex will have three identical black post-modern buildings, with a central angled tower, a small courtyard in the center, and spectacular views of the Callahan Square Park, the buildings are due for completion by 1980. The main tower will rise to 598ft - 182m
The Callahan Tower is a large art deco style office building, built in 1939, and is inspired by the Rockefeller Center in NYC, and rises to 513ft (156m) (this building was in the original version of lakeport, too.)
Looking North, with Lincoln Tower 2 finishing construction.
Buildings shown by consecutive height:
On the far right is the Lexington Tower, the tallest building the Lakeport (by roof height) rising to 674ft (205m)
With the First National Bank on the same block rising to 425ft (129m) to its roof, and 702ft to the tip of the antenna, making it have the highest point in the city.
Also on the same block is the Superior Building, opened in 1911 it was once one of the tallest buildings in lakeport, but has since been overshadowed by its neighbors.
The construction site in the background will be the Lakeport US Bank Headquarters, just a black boxy modernist office building, will be the 5th tallest in the city, just 2 feet higher than the Callahan Tower, at 515ft or 156m (also 156m, weird)
Here is a street level shot, with the Metropolitan Building in the foreground.
Thanks to Vellu for many of the textures, and many lowrise buildings and the trees from Bourne. Patrick Griffin for the texture the Lexington Tower uses. The traffic lights are "Minneapolis traffic signal mods" on the 3D warehouse.
