Haha, you did the weirdest skyscraper in Lower Manhattan history! Besides the weird brick one from the 60s near battery park which was replaced by the curved glass one, I also never see that one. Great Job!

Thanks, I’d really like to see someone make that one too. (I think I made it one time years ago in an old project, but it probably wasn’t that great or accurate)

Funny thing is that both of them were designed by the same firm that designed buildings like Pace University. Sucks that two of their best buildings barely survived 20 years

Im taking inspiration from you city but in the 1930s i have been building for awhile but you said you put a schematic of the street layout do you onow how you did that i would like to restart for a more accurate street layout.

Did you use world painter?

When will you post an update on this again?

Since I forgot to update this thread for years, here’s some pics from my 70s project.

I took a break from the 50s project in mid 2024, and then an update busted all of the addons and some of the blocks. Our poor little billion dollar company made an oopsie. The map still exists, I just haven’t felt like spending days fixing it, let alone working on it. In the meantime, here’s 1974. Postwar, so it fits the range that 14 year old me conjured up when I started this thread, just with a lot more ugly buildings and a lot more wasteland parking lots.

AWESOME work!!! Fantastic job!

Very nice!!

some massing models are fun

WIP ugly buildings

interesting that the same firm gave us almost all of this area and every building looks so incompatible with the other

this park space is really fun aesthetically even though the building disgusts me, it seems like it would be great to get chased by one of those cursed png faces at night
