Exclamation The Complex

Here is just some info about the complex I'm making for the city:

Name: (City's Name) Corporate Plaza
Type: Office, Hotel, Retail, Dining, Conference, Public Plaza (Atrium)

Buildings:

-The twin office towers are 62 floors each at 805' high.
-The 2 offcie buildings are connected at the bottom by a glass atrium (public space), that also connects with the Hotel and Conference Center.
-The Hotel (a J.W. Marriot) is 28 floors and 380' high. It has a 35' lobby (as do all the buildings, and glass atrium), a 5 star dining establishment, lobby level retail, pool, gym, spa, business center, and access to the connected 2 floor conference center.
-There is a public outdoor plaza on the property.
-There is an underground parking lot, which is used by office workers and hotel guests only.
-A helipad is on top of the hotel roof.

I'll post pics of the complex when done.

Dac-I think we should just wait to post pics until we have the terrain and all that stuff figured out.

Edit: I was thinking about the poll and everyone would get a chance to enter a name or map.

Here's the list:

Aleks0o01: (city name or map entry)
Austin 55: (city name or map entry)
CGII: (city name or map entry)
Dac150: (city name or map entry)
Exodus: (city name or map entry)
Foxmtbr: (city name or map entry)
MikeR: (city name or map entry)
Mocholate: (city name or map entry)
Mr D: (city name or map entry)
Patrick: (city name or map entry)
Peter: (city name or map entry)
Tanster: (city name or map entry)
Verticalextrophy: (city name or map entry)

Whoever doesn't enter a name or landscape I'll just type:
Name: None

I'm just about finished with the complex, but I'll hold off on the pics until we get more into this. The grid plot for the complex will need to be 464,876 sqft, just let you know.

I got dibbs on the Airport!!!!

Anthony

PS: I will warn you, however, that a full, but simple airport, can easily cross the 10-15 mb threshold.

That would be a good idea having the airport done by Boise.

Thanks to all who voted for me.

Oh, no I added extra names because when we vote on the city name I'm guessing more people will try to enter a name. And since after a poll is started I can only add 2 more entries I thought it would be good to just put all the names of the people usually here.

Get me?

Here's the grid for the city area , I been a bit sick so i haven't set it into the slopes yet

The big block in the lower middle part is 500m x 350m / 1640' x 1150'



More streets can be added later, especially around the water front but best to do that later cos its an important area
