UPDATE 64: SKYWARD BOUND

UPDATE SYNOPSIS:

Today's update is related to the most recently posted teaser. The picture was of the Toyota Centre in Marcelona. But what exactly is going on there?

With demand for large, office and residential skyscrapers rising in the developed portions of Feaumont, the surface parking around the arena is going byebye and making way for new developments.Today we are taking a look at the beginning of said project.

So let's go see...

_______________________________________________________________________

64.1| When the Toyota Centre was constructed in Marcelona long ago, it was built in what was essentially in the middle of nowehere. Several years later, development has encroached around the arena, surrounding it on 3 of its 4 sides. As time has gone on, the land occupied by surface parking has become extremely valuable, and desirable to developers.

64.2| Recently, the owner and operator of the arena, simLink Arena Development & Sports/Entertainment Management Corporation, sold a 10% stake in the land surrounding the arena to a developer.

The company, and the developer, have announced intentions to replace all of the surface parking with new office, residential towers and shops. Here is some more of the parking to be replaced...

64.3| Here you can see the surface parking that will be converted to an above-ground parking garage. The parking will likely double in cost in the new garage, providing a large cash infusion to the company.

64.4| Soon after the project is announced construction begins on the new parking garage. Cranes are brought in while the surface parking has been closed and removed.

64.5| Much to the irritation of event-goers, all surface parking has been removed at once, meaning for a period of time there is no parking by the arena. This has caused a huge frustration, and drop in attendance, at events. The new garage is expected to open soon as it is going full speed ahead. A new building method is being utilized which allow construction to be complete within a month.

64.6| Here is where a large commercial building has already been fully leased. It was fully leased only 20 hours after leasing opened.

64.7| One month later, and right on schedule, the new parking garage has opened. With parking being at a minimum of $20 for an evening, and varying depending on the event, it is certainly not cheap. One Sim reports paying $100 for parking when an arch-rival team was in town...

64.8| And like the majority of the Feaumont region, skyscrapers continue to march towards the sky...

SimCoug

Glad you liked the update! Some are upset about the building, but with taxes still on thanks to development fees, the way others couldn't care less...

MamaLuigi945

Glad it had that effect on you!

Always happy to show off a great night pic.

Schulmanator

Thanks, glad to hear it did! I was happy with how it turned out...

City_Master

Shucks, thanks! The night pic seems to have been very popular...

Schulmanator

Not a concert, but hopefully you liked it, anyways.

City_Master

Nah, but it obviously had something to do with cards, so you were on the right track.

MamaLuigi945

Hehehe...

zahrul3

It really is a nice tower, glad you are happy to see it.

Love it, as always, buddy.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Looks like progress has struck again!

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Must be much easier to find a park now!

Will that new building be all shiny and glassy?

[SimCoug 5,972]

$20 for parking? I dont even want to know what they are charging for beer

[simlink 1,098]

It has been much too long...

MamaLuigi945

Thanks for your comment, as always.

Schulmanator:

Indeed it has... and it might get a whole lot faster , too.

City_Master

I like glass, and parking sure is easier.

SimCoug:

The low, low price of $10 a can, of course!

As I stated before...

Nothing suspicious here; move along.

[vivapanda 422]

I've missed some great updates! Good to see the innocent banners back

[Benedict 3,119]

I also enjoy the 'innocent' updates.

***FEAUMONT HIATUS***

Effective immidiately, I am putting Feaumont on hiatus. As you may have noticed, since the end of April the frequency of updates has dropped considerably. This is evident by views of my photos. While there were 40 000 views in April, there were 15 000 in May. Due to a small lack of creative drive and time, development of Feaumont has slowed down considerably to the point where I really have nothing new to show, that is anywhere near complete anyways. I hope to return to updates relatively soon, but I can't make any gurantees. My hands are quite full at the moment.

(and no, this isn't an April Fool's Day Joke in June...)

This is certainly not goodbye, nor the end of Feaumont. It is just taking a vacation for a little bit. Be sure to watch this thread for ongoing teasers, those will still be around.

Oh yeah, and completely innocent posts too. Those will be around some more. Sorta like this below:

[innocent post]

My oh my, I wonder what THAT could possibly mean...

[/innocent post]

Replies will be done later this week.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Seem harmless enough...

[SimCoug 5,972]

I'm looking forward to whatever comes along. Sometimes a little 'vacation' is all out takes to get those creative juices going.

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Ongoing teasers, I like that!

Great innocent post again!

[Jack³ 291]

I think I'll do the same with Highland. I think it is good that you are taking a break and I look forward to seeing what you will have later.

[simlink 1,098]

[iNNOCENT POST 3]

Another day, and it is again time for an innocent post. Another completely innocent picture, plus innocent replies!

Have you also noticed the completely innocent signature construction?

[iNNOCENT REPLIES]

MamaLuigi945

Absolutely, these posts are 100% innocent and are just for fun. They probably don't mean anything. At all. Period.

vivapanda

Glad to see you back! You cam back just in time for a hiatus, but these innocent posts continue.

Benedict

Glad you like them. But they truly are innocent, not 'innocent'.

Schulmanator

Absolutely - a break will be good for Feaumont. And the innocent banners certainly are harmless, and quite fun.

SimCoug

The product is this will be very interesting indeed...

City_Master

I love ongoing teasers as well, they are just so much fun!

Jack3oh3

Glad to hear you look forward to what's ahead, it is going to be a nice change... hehehe

[/iNNOCENT REPLIES]

I like announcements. Do you?

[/iNNOCENT PHOTO]

Well that is all for today.Stay tuned for more innocent posts!

Your "innocent" posts are about as innocent as a man dragging a limp body down the sidewalk while wearing a ski mask and holding a gun.

I look forward to more...

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Oo another great innocent picture! The tree's look like they have some sort of decoration on them!

Waiting for the bus to put the man on, like waiting for this update, was the hard part

[DCMetro34 576]

Wow!! Can't wait for the real deal!!

[simlink 1,098]

Oh, look! A completely innocent link!

I wonder where it goes...

[The Avatar 1,089]

You are a sneaky one, my friend. Very sneaky...

[SimCoug 5,972]

I'm not twitter savvy, but I think cool things are in the works.

[Mithrik 562]

Agreed with MamaLuigi, that was, indeed, sneaky.

"Today! Finish Today!" the lead gremlin shouted.

What a completely innocent tweet...

[Charlie_Zane 963]

"wait and see" But I don't like waiting!
