Update.

Here is an update showing the common windows that will be used on the buildings (shown as an example on Tpwer 2), as well as storefronts on the bottom of Tower 2 in the Plaza.

These are the storefronts that will be in this section of the plaza at the base of Tower 2. There are three on either side of the East entrance (to Tower 2 from within the Plaza). There is also another store space on the corner to the left side of the picture.

These Plaza storefronts will house elite brands such as Sac's Fifth Avenue, Rolex, Ann Taylor, Liz Clairborne, Giorgio Armani, Breitling, & Gucci.

There are other storefronts at the base of the other areas of the Plaza as well as the outskirts of the buildings and ofcourse within the buildings.

The entrance that is pictured is a doorway to the Hotel elevator banks, office elevator banks, the Grand Theatre, Access to the underground levels, retail, restaurants, and to the Central Lobby of Tower 2.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


This next picture is one showing an example the facade that will cover the entire complex. I did this portion of Tower 2, above the storefronts. This area that is facaded is office.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


That is all for now.

Once again please leave a comment, question, or opinion! For the time it takes, its important for me to get people's opinions!

Thank you!

The Facade will be made out of (of course) glass, and stainless steel alloy (titanium) coated with a black finish.

The glass will be very dark tinted windows (black if you will) to match the black coating on the steel.

The window frames will be made out of black coated aluminum.

In some areas on the bottom (storefronts, looby entrances, entryways, etc...), there will by Italian black marble, and gold coated aluminum.

The Black represents the corporate dominace and power, while the exterior gold and marble represent the elegence, luxury, and elite nature that is Cassidy Plaza.

More of the facade

Here is more of Tower 2 with the facade. The "white" portion is part of the 5 Star "Cassidy Hotel of New York". I plan on putting the facade on the rest of that side.



A really stunning shot!

superb! another question: are there going to be trees in the plaza? i know you're probably not to the point of adding trees to this model, but doing any planters would at least let us see where trees will be located. any trees on any rooftops either? again, sorry if i missed this info earlier.

Rooftops:

On the Promonade over the street, there will be a few trees as well as a sculpture. On the other 5 promonades, there will be some grass, stone pathways, shrubbery, and open areas used for outdoor conferences.
Out of the 6 promonades:
-4 are for tenants only
-1 is for public use
-1 is for hotel guests

The Plaza:

-The Plaza will have several planters (as you would find on city streets).


I am always happy to answer questions!

Tree Update

Here is an update shoing where the trees will be located on the property.

These trees are located on the sidewalk in the rear of Tower 3. On the bottom of this area will be many shops that I will get to placing in this model, along with benches and street lights.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


These trees are on the Public Promonade connecting Tower 1 with Towers 2 & 3. The Promonade also contains a sculpture of a pryamid which represents the life long innovation of building. There will also be Tables & chairs along with benches on the Promonade.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Here are trees and plants that are located in the Central Plaza near the base of Tower 2 (right infornt of the storefronts of that area). Along with these trees and plants is a sculpture of the letter "C". The "C" represents myself as the owner and the developer. There are countless "C's" throughout the entire complex. (There will be a "C" on all of my worlwide properties).

In addition to these trees, there will be others in the other areas of the Central Plaza along with numerous benches, tables, and chairs.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


-There will always be music playing in the Central Plaza aswell as the Lobbies. The music genre is either smooth jazz or classical.


Currently I am putting the "Bentley & Aston Martin" dealership along with the other storefronts in his model to show you.

Thank you, and please: Leave comments, questions, or opinions!

Update of the Dealership:

Everyone knows Cassidy Plaza is home to the elite and luxurious in every aspect. So I thought about 2 months ago: Why not add luxury automotives to the mix, being I love high-end cars.

So I did,
The 2 Primary dealers of this dealership are Bentley and Aston Martin. However they also house all types of luxury and exotic vehicles.

They include:
Bentley, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Ferarri, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Jaguar, BMW, Spyker, Saleen, Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Porsche, Land Rover, Lotus, Maserati, Peugot, etc....

There is a 30 car showroom thats takes up 2 floors, as well as a 50 car inventory in the 400 car below ground parking garage.

Once in a while there will be a large banner showing either a car or a car company that takes part in the dealership. This particular banner is one of a Bentley Continental GTC.

There are always exotic and luxurious cars on the sidewalk infront of the dealership for the public's enjoyment as well as additional marketing.
Sometimes they are aslo shown in the Central Plaza.

Here is a pic of the dealership (could not find a Bentley logo to fit)....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


You will also notice the storefronts I am still working on.

Thank you, and remember to post comments, questions, or opinions!

The storefronts are coming along well. There should be an update (for those who are interested..........) sometime within the week.

Well only a few. I can only show you guys so much. I'm estimating there will only be about five more visual updates for this thread. After that you'll have to wait 15 years to see to actual thing built. It is there you can explore all of the details for yourself.
