Entry 28: Stage One Done!

NMUSpidey: Thanks and I agree, I don't think the Maxis stuff is all that bad.
Schulmanator: Thanks and yes they do have some ambitious plans but there spread out over around 10 years so it's not going to happen all at once. Your right regarding the seaport though that was a immediate boon with the factories moving back into the newly finished stage one as your about to see.
Entry 28: Stage one done!
Just a small update today looking at the completion of stage one of the redevelopment and a some recent Royal development.
----------------
Starting with the harbour here's how it looks now.
As you can revitalisation was can be considered a success for this part of the project at least given that this stage is now predominantly manufacturing businesses rather than the old dirty ones that were here, and there's even a significant amount of high tech developing towards the end of the land reclamation.
The seaport was a very welcome addition and is now used centrally by most of the factories in the harbour area to ship there freight out from one place. Now lets take a closer look at several key points in the stage.
Firstly the lighthouse at the end of the reclaimed land. Built to help guide ships past the new reclaimed land, this is the first actual lighthouse to be built in Tantico, with the other points still using their old beacons. This point is also the site of several high tech factories that
The other picture I have shows the large factories that have been built around the Tensea Power-plant TH. Several of the ones beside the actual power-plants are also owned by the company but a number the majority are privately owned factories eager to take advantage of the new seaport.
------------------------
Now for the next part of the update which takes a look at the new royal residency of Oldwood. Formerly named Oldwood Royal Castle, this beautiful castle has all the charm of a old building and all the trappings of a modern one.
Oldwood itself is a idyllic location and due to the age of the trees in the wood has become the second of Tantico's Nature Reserves along with the Marshes, thereby preventing any removal of trees from within the woods boundaries and presenting the perfect location for Prince Oliver and his family to build a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Tantico CIty life.
Also being the single biggest home in the entire nation and also having the largest gardens, parts of this castle and its grounds can be rented for a steep price for weddings or parties, and also during select days you can take a guided tour of the royal families extensive art collection, containing pieces from Tantico as well as other nations on here on Smearth. This is also the planned residency for any state or royal guests, with half of the east wing as dedicated luxurious suites.
Below are several images of the castle during Princess Abigail's 25th birthday.
An aerial of the building from the front.
Looking at the gardens behind the castle, apparently a favourite place of the Princess Emille.
-----------------
That's all for now. Apparently there nearly ready to begin on stage two of the redevelopment and cartography and geology reports are being brought in regarding the other bodies of land in the nation.
Till then
