New York City begins at the historical Lower Manhattan Financial District. I chose to use the original twin towers because of how much an icon they were to the city. The Twin Towers are still present in many businesses and company logos in around NYC. The new towers are beautiful as I have visited them myself, but still they require some getting use to, with that said long live the Twins and those who perished on 9/11 .

My attempt at re-creating Battery Park feels a little bald to me may end up re-doing eventually. Looking north over the World Trade Center with shops, restaurants, apartments and offices below.

Today the neighborhood consists of only a few Italian stores and restaurants. It is bounded on the west by Tribeca and Soho, on the south by Chinatown, on the east by the Bowery and Lower East Side, and on the north by Nolita. Chinatown and Lower Eastside Chinatown: A neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City, bordering the Lower East Side to its east, Little Italy to its north, Civic Center to its south, and Tribeca to its west. With an estimated population of 90,000 to 100,000 people, Chinatown is home to the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere.[5] Manhattan's Chinatown is also one of the oldest Chinese ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn Bridge: Construction on the Bridge was started in 1869 and was completed fourteen years later in 1883. It was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge. However, it was not named as such until the city government passed a law to that effect in 1915. Over the years, the Brooklyn Bridge has undergone several reconfigurations; it formerly carried horse-drawn vehicles and elevated railway lines, but now carries vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.

Hi Simtropolitans! Today, I will start sharing this recreacion that began some months ago. I will seek information about the various places of the city, to know better this amazing New york, hand SC4. Many of the buildings and monuments do not have in st exchangue, and there are things I had to imagine and devise, to have a greater similarity. However, I must say that thanks to the amount of bats recreated to perfection by the many fans of SC4, motivated me to want to know, and recreate the city. Let's start with Battery Park I hope you enjoy *********************************************************************************************************************************************** Battery Park is a park of 10 hectares (25 acres) located south of Manhattan bordering Financial District. It is the most important green space that includes the best view of the city of New York as the Statue of Liberty. Derives its name from the row of cannons in the seventeenth century, the British placed along State Street. Intersection between State St. Pearl St. , and Bridge St. Building One Battery Park Plaza. Intersection between Broadway, Battery Pl, and State Streets. It also has a full tour of monuments with historical texts that allow tourists to learn more about the history of the city, and other statues. Among the most important monuments, it noted the Clinton Castle, completed in 1811, today used for ticket sales ferries for trips to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, formerly was used as an aquarium, and its earliest beginnings was used as strong for the invaders attacks. You can also find there Sphere, a metal structure that was formerly simply ornamenta in the area of the twin towers and today, along with an eternal flame, is a monument in memory of those who lost their lives in the attack September 11. It is the East Coast Memorial, a sculpture in the form of eagle that honors the memory of those who died in World War II and more structures. The Sphere, in the upper right corner East Coast Memorial Because of its location in front of the Statue of Liberty and comfortable view also offers its benches, the park is also used for concerts and activities. When should be Castle Clinton Intersection Battery Pl St. and Little W St. To the northwest is the neighborhood of Battery Park City, a planned community built between 1970 and 1980. Along with the Hudson River Park, a system of bicycle paths and walkways extending to the shore of the Hudson River. A bike path is being built through the park, connecting the Hudson River and the East River. Battery Farm This brings us to the end of the first part of the entry about Battery Park. Coming soon de second part, and development of Battery Park City, that it to say, Rector Park Residential Neighborhood, Gateway Plaza, Battery Place Residential Neighborhood, WFC and Joseph Chapel.

UPDATED: Please redownload and replace this version with the new one. You may have to demolish the old version. The model and desc. files are different, but the lot is the exactly the same. NYBT Presents, One Chase Manhattan Plaza by Sgt Pepper. One Chase Manhattan Plaza is a banking skyscraper for Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City. It is located in the Financial District of New York City in Lower Manhattan. It is situated behind 40 Wall Street, and has close proximity to Wall Street itself. It is a glossy, slim, tower at about 60 stories tall and around over 813 feet tall. It was one of the first International Styled Skyscrapers to be built in Lower Manhattan or Downtown New York. Construction began in 1957 and was completed around 1960. Designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings And Merrill, Gordon is also known for designing the Lever House on Park Avenue. Chase Manhattan Plaza takes it's appearance from an earlier SOM project in Chicago, the Inland Steel Building. It's sparkly design and modern appeal made it stand out from the older, darker stone clad skyscrapers in Downtwon. It was certainly a skyscraper ahead of its time, and is currently an NYC landmark.
