Seems good so far . Beautiful projects:)

Maybe agree with Jaredh 875 5th ave should be done in first.  And "ALL" others buildings right after

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Nonsense - ALL should be done first.

 

But kidding aside, this looks like an awful lot of stuff to tinker with. If it was mine, I know I'd probably browse through them and do something on whatever building sparks some inspiration in that very moment. This way, there'd be no telling which building makes it past the finish line first. Then again, I'm not Aaron, of course. In any case, we can be sure that they are in the best hands one can imagine for this task.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Darknono35 & jaredh- Thank you, I would love to start on 875 5th Avenue, maybe I have to think about it.

 

T Wrecks- I think it's a great idea to start on all of them at once.

Here's the first update on the building.

 

 

Here's the link to the building.

Great work my Aaron !! it's an beautiful building , I say, you'll do an Homerun with that BAT

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Those walls right and left of the penthouse and the water tower are a really fascinating detail. Looks like the roof is going to be interesting as well.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Darknono35- Thank you, I will hit another home run.

 

T Wrecks- Thank you, I knew you would love the look up the upper floors.

 

 

Townsley

 

Another update, next update I will show the back the building, so you can see the work on that side of the building.

 

 

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

Love the simplicity of it!

[jwsteele 77]

Aaron, this looks awesome!

Quick question.  Would you ever do NYC buildings that are of similar height to the ones you put out (15-20 stories), but are only 1 tile wide (1x2)?  Do these exist in NYC?  I am far more familiar with SF/LA architecture, being from the West Coast, but that could be kind of cool.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

GeometryMath Algebra- Thank you!!!

 

jwsteele- I have many one apartment building at 1x2 tiles and it's around 15 to 20 stories, they do exist in neew York City, I know I will need to make more.

 

 

 

Townsley

 

Here's the update of on the Townsley, you have a look at the front and the back of the building.

 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Many work in a few times . Prepare prospectus for offers to buy

[edwardjeria 503]

1 weeks ago and suddenly this beautiful building you are doing

amazing

I loved his latest creation forgiveness for not being there when premiere

[Vlasky 1,803]

Sorry for late reactions, congrats on the Gracie Manor, it is splendid. Townsley seems to be on a good path as well. As for criticism on not finishing all you started, well, you've heard about that enough from me

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you guys!!!!

 

Vlasky I will be in the chat room.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Townsley

 

Here's another update, I have made some new furniture and next I will need to add roof junk, some bushes, and then off the the texturing I think.

 

[SimCoug 5,977]

I like the progress on Townsley!  I also agree with jwsteel, some small midrise W2W 'filler' buildings would be really neat (and unique).  

[Darknono35 3,138]

Pure beauty in coming 

[Huston 5,800]

Definitely anticipating its completion Looks great so far!

[Vlasky 1,803]

This one is going down fast! Great job!

[cmdp123789 710]

OMG THE SPEED!!!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

SimCoug- Thank you, I'm looking around to find apartment building that can be 1x2.

 

Darknono35- Thank you mate!!!

 

Huston- Thank you!!!

 

Vlasky- Thank you buddy!!!

 

cmdp123789- Thank you!!!

 

 

Townsley

 

Here's a light update, I'm working on the buildings junk so I can go in to the texturing.

 

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

ME GUSTA!

[Ceafus 88 1,929]

Its been to long since I have seen your work Aaron, and I am still amazed by it!

[Darknono35 3,138]

I like it too, and your bushes are so cute!!

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Loving all the different levels on the roof, keep it up

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

GeometryMath Algebra- Thank you!!!

Ceafus 88- Thank you, I'm happy to see that you vist my thread again.

Darknono35- Thank you!!!

Ion_Cannon- Thank you buddy!!!

 

Townsley

 

Here's another update to my building, it's almost finished. I still have a little more texturing to do.

[Vlasky 1,803]

I love it! Turned out great. Black bricks could use more contrast and be bit brighter imho.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you buddy, I will work on that. I'm in the chat.

[__A 792]

Wow, those textures are awesome

 

[SimCoug 5,977]

Splendid texturing! 

 

 

 

SimCoug- Thank you, I'm looking around to find apartment building that can be 1x2.

 

1x2 eh?  What about a variety of early 20th century row-homes?

 

Yes... it is a total self serving suggestion 

[Darknono35 3,138]

Great work Aaron, I know your texturing will be stunning one more time Keep it up buddy

But maybe you need to add more variance colors of bricks on your wall, in my opinion

 

@SimCoug : I like this idea about 20th century row houses, but only with flat roofs, like the majority of buildings than you can see in NYC or the USA.
