Empire State Plaza Building Pack

Description
This is a building pack with everything needed to build the Empire State Plaza in Albany, NY.

I've shown the buildings mostly in a recreation of their actual configuration, but this pack leaves you the freedom to arrange them however you see fit.

Included in the pack:
- Erastus Corning Tower
- 4 Agency Buildings
- The "Egg"
- 3 reflecting pools, including the Alexander Calder Sculpture "Triangles and Arches"

The Empire State Plaza is a massive development in Albany, meant to form this state capitol into a global city. Imagined by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, it was designed by the architect Wallace Harrison, a canonical master of the International style. The towers house offices for the state government, while The Egg contains two theaters.

The towers are level 2 Unique Buildings, while the Egg is level 5. The pools show up under the plazas tab.

A quick technical note: After placing one of the towers, the others will show the icon for having been built. Ignore this, they're still buildable.

The complex's design destroyed a lively neighborhood when it was built, and still separates and alienates many parts of Albany. Maybe you can imagine more sympathetic uses for these much loved, and much reviled landmarks.

These look amazing in my Le Corbusier utopian town.

Love these buildings, but what's the "Antoni Milkowski: Salem 7" that reports as missing in the Egg?

And are there any plans for a RICO version?

Weird question, but honestly I just want to put the goddarn Egg in every city I make because I think it's the silliest building ever made, would it be possible for you to upload it alone? Would also help w/ the file size issue.

The duplicate prefab error should be fixed! Sorry to take so long, thanks for the patience.

Blujitsu - Yeah, I'm aware that its heavy. FYI there are 4 different Agency buildings so that they can have different lights at night. Thanks for the suggestion, I might edit the Agency model for more varied lights and then release as a single, and I'd been cosidering doing the same for the Egg and Corning.

owens - I wasn't planning on doing the rest of the set, though it would be great to have them. They're all pretty complicated, and I just don't have the time to finish them on top of trying to flesh out my shipbuilding set.

Are you planning on providing the Capitol Building, NYS Museum, Swam St. Building, Etc? Thank you so much for your hard work.

I really love this pack, and the buildings look great. 50MB is pretty heavy, though, and I think you could probably lower it if you had one RICO version of the agency towers instead of four of the same. Either that, or would you consider releasing the three main buildings (the Egg, Corning Tower, and agency buildings)seperately to help keep it down a bit? I might just use the buildings standalone, without the pools. Sorry for the novel :steambored:
