It reminds me of home.. my hometown is sometimes called little uusr actually, since practically the whole town was bulldozed and re-developed in the 1960 a' la prefab style

edmonton_stinks

Home is always home I guess, well the ciy have drawn up plans to re-develop the area now.

jacqulina

Thanks, I think after some work the area will be better planned out though

Zarp

Thanks, most of the city is made up by a 4x4 grid with exeptions to suburbs and some surrounding areas. Little UUSR is being re-developed though

Lordy Lord

Thank you, yeah they are all crazy to live here.

[jacqulina 162]

Today we are gonna look at some current construction work underway in Port Noir. After all theese new project are finished the city population is estimated to grow from 85,000 to 120,000. There are alot of new highrises under construction and business is booming. The harbour have undergone a huge expansion. Industry and commercial demand is skyrocketing and so is the need for homes.

A new artificial island is going to solve the city's desperate need for new land. The plan is to develop a stunning new luxury hotel here. Tourism is a important part of business here.

Construction have started on the hotel...

Seawalls are constructed to keep the land from eroding. Plans are to build some luxury apartements here..

City planners have zoned for some medium density housing... the buildings will be on the very edge to the sea.

Seawall under construction at the hotel site.

Some contruction underway in the commercial district. Due to extremely high C$$$ demand the city needs more highrises.

Over at New Gothia district the city is re-developing a area for highrise apartements. Alot of historical buildings had to give way for this project.

One of the new highrises after completion overlooking the new stadium. It was easy to make a sale here since you can see all the games for free from your balcony!.

Down at the harbour the city have just invested in new container cranes. Industrial demand have since skyrocketed and city planners are desperately seeking areas for new industrial development.

The new luxury apartements after completion down by the new hotel construction we visited at the beginning. Soon the hotel will be finished everyone awaits the grand opening.

Very nice update! Totally love those new apartments on the artificial piece of land

Can't wait to see how the hotel will turn out.... I think it will be HOT xD

You also made great use of the new container cranes from Pegasus!! It makes the port very realistic......

Keep it up

[Simtastico 0]

yeah I agree with CarmineHilton, the cranes looks great! so does the apartments.. I would like to live there

[pagenotfound 53]

-----------------------------------------------------

This looks really sweet!

[dabadon5 295]

i love how the urban look of the city fits in with the natural beauty of the place

job well done.

[The Big Z 103]

Wow, that's some awesome stuff you got there. I'm excited to see what builds up there. The shot of the baseball field is awesome. It looks almost real!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Cool! You've got some very interesting plans for that island. Can't wait to see it!

CarmineHilton

Simtastico

Thank you, everyone's welcome to move in, It's a tad bit expensive but I'm sure there's an apartement left on the top floor.

pagenotfound

Haha sure I assume you mean the highrise next to the stadium. Well I heard there's actually one vacant on that floor. Pack up your stuff and take the next flight in.

dabadon5

Thanks alot

The Big Z

Thank you, construction is finished we are just waiting for the mayor to find a pair of scissors for the ribbon cutting ceremony

edmonton_stinks

Thank you theres more to come

[jacqulina 162]

your welcome my friend,and i can see you are doing a wonderfull job at planning and details,the beach is looking great and the pier sure makes all the difference being there,just take your time and keep up the great work.

[TRNSTN 0]

Great update, I love the new development. Can't wait for more!

This time let's take a look at the latest completed construction projects in Port Noir

Down on the artificial island the new hotel is completed. It's simply called the Sail Hotel.

View from the east side. You can see part of the marina complex from here.

The front of the hotel with it's large fountain.

From the observation deck you can see the entire bay of Port Noir.

A room here doesnt come cheap. The view is so stunning you can even see the green glow comming from Port Noir's nuclear powerplant. The plant is scheaduled for decomission in the next few years so hurry up before it's gone!

The roundabout at the hotels enterance quickly became the city's most popular one. People all over Port Noir come to drive in it...apparently. Weee round and round it goes. The roundabout have become known as pukeadilly circle.

Downtown apple unveiled a new apple store. Nobody knew until the opening night what the new store was gonna be. No adverts were put up until the very same day it opened. People stood in line for hours to get the greatest opening night deals.

The apple store was built just across the road from Port Noirs latest landmark building. The Vienna Tower a marvle of glass and steel.

Ikea also recently opened up a store at the Americana Malls complex. Bringing frustration to the people of Port Noir when they try to assemble their Billy bookcases...

The construction down at New Gothia is also finished it turned out to be cheap rental apartements for the less wealthy... (Not quite what I had in mind but oh well)

In the effort to be independent of nuclear power the city have constructed a hydroelectric plant in the mountains.

We leave this update with a view of one of the oldest skyscrapers in Port Noir, The Grejnes building built in 1932. The workers apparently have waaaaay to much free time and money. 2 people have so far been rushed to the hospital after getting a golfball in the head while walking down main street. Doctors still have no clue....

[s_olah 87]

Wonderful Update, I love the Burj Al Arab, (btw, from where did you download that, I've been looking for ages...) Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next update...

That's awesome!!

[AceofSpades 1]

Awesome! Haha the golfballs I can just see that.

Today there will be a small update with some random pictures around the less developed and older parts of Port Noir and a visit to the Americana Malls and the beach.

This area found on a small hill above Little Paris consists of rows of smaller medium sized buildings. It holds a large scandinavian/german population. This is one of the more expensive areas in the city.

Each row of housing have a small bike and pedestrian road between them.

This is the same picture used in the banner. Built in the same style as most of the older areas of Port Noir this area too is in extremly high demand for people with money that want a property in the central parts of Port Noir.

The city is mostly designed in a 4x4 grid system with parks and playgrounds nestled in the middle of each square.

A typical example of a Port Noir suburb. West Noir contains mostly single homes. A swimmingpool here is more a rule than an exception.

West Noir stretches all the way down to the marina and the beach strip. This is where some of the wealthiest people live. You can feel the smell of money here... some people say it's actually the papermill over at the harbour that's smelling but the people living here firmly believe that its actually money... it's all paper anyways.

North of West Noir we find Port Noirs no1 shopping place. Nicknamed the Americana Malls after the fact that most companies here are american for some weird reason. Anyways this place adds a little (tasteles)flavor to the city.

Everyone in town likes to go on a shopping spree during the weekend at theese malls. Parking is plentyful and theres always 15% off on lawn chairs at the home furnishing store!

You can always be trendy for a resonable price...Since the area is easily acessed by bus or even subway, teens and licence suspended losers can still spend more money than they should.

After you been shopping all day why not stuff your face with something thats so greasy it makes the paper bag it came in transparent? Police is easy to find if someone steals your shoppingbags... since the unofficial  police headquarters is located here....

Why not head down to the beach later to cool off? After all that shopping a cool refreshing swim is just the thing to do.. Port Noir's nature conservation society recommends waiting 30 minutes before taking a swim if you eaten. The sharks are getting too fat.

If you dont feel like a swim then maybe take a walk on the pier or maybe even do some fishing. Mr. Olofson once caught a 2lbs man-eating herring here... some people doubt that, they do however admit that the herring in theese waters are unusually ill-tempered.

Close to the beachfront you will find theese wonderful condominiums. They were recently constructed and the rush to get an apartement here were record-high. It's about as cheap as you can get if you want to live close to the beach. The contractor have pruposed to build more of theese buildings in a few area

[jacqulina 162]

beautifull work my friend excellent use of pegs things very nice

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Great descriptions of things. Too bad about the herrings, though. It probably turns people off from swimming.

[oceanmariner 0]

Wow, everything is quite realistic! Beautiful use of the piers, docks, and beaches.

[nottheboss 1]

That is some great realism

well done!

[lucky7 73]

Wow, wonderful updates, I like'em very much!! May I ask where you got the brownish condo-bldg. in the 1st third of this page, opposite from the 'Quatre Saisons'? It fits perfectly into this area! The commercial strip looks great and the shore-area is just wonderful, I am definitely looking forward to more,

[Big Vine 0]

Wow, I'm in love with your region and what you've done in each of its cities so far!

Fantastic use of custom content, and I think the planning/layout involved in this is top-notch.  That luxury hotel is really something, and it seems to fit in nicely with the other nearby elements (such as the Apple store, for instance, as shown in your pics).  Your sense of humor seems to be right up my alley as well, which is another reason why I'm drawn to your journal and plan on sticking with it.  Keep it up!

[mapmaker89 1]

Love the new hotel and the mall area

This is where some of the wealthiest people live. You can feel the smell of money here... some people say it's actually the papermill over at the harbour that's smelling but the people living here firmly believe that its actually money... it's all paper anyways. quote>
