23: California Dreamin'
September 04, 2023 · Original source
Building progress: last I heard Duna Residences were supposed to be ready Q2 2023, but a recent video shows them still under construction. In March, Prospera said they would be “breaking ground on Pristine Heights” soon, but there have been no further updates. And a representative says they still plan to start Beyabu (futuristic-looking Zaha Hadid buildings) “the second half of this year”.

Highlights From The Comments On Last Week's Model Cities Post

Beyabu won't look like that. They have decided against building in the swamp. I got this from talking to Trey a year ago. He said that the costs of building on the river would have been prohibitive, and the decision was made to move the residences to a different place. Confusingly, the old designs are still featured on the beyabu website, but only as decoration - the more detailed renders show houses standing on a hill, looking quite different from the old circular design. See also the real-time configuration tool demo featuring new designs.
