General Information
The Sister Grimsby stands as an iconic skyscraper in the heart of Haverhill, New Orange City. Upon its completion in 1955, it proudly claimed the title of the tallest freestanding structure in the city, a distinction it held until the grand unveiling of the Shire Spire in 1989. This monumental edifice has become a cherished landmark, weaving itself into the fabric of the city's skyline.
History
The ambitious planning for The Sister Grimsby commenced on January 1, 1952. This early stage of development involved meticulous simulations and tests, subjecting the design to rigorous assessments of wind resistance and structural integrity.
Construction of the superstructure commenced on April 1, 1953, marking the tangible realization of architectural vision. The towering spire reached its completion on March 1, 1955. The first occupants, the Grimsby personnel, moved into their new abode on December 1, 1955. The grand opening ceremony was officiated by Oranjestad councilwoman Kayla Morrison on August 1, 1955.
Constructed predominantly with reinforced concrete, The Sister Grimsby boasts a facade of steel and glass artfully crafted to mirror motifs found in traditional Oranjestad buildings. One of its distinctive features is its unique design, strategically straddling Oliphant Blvd below. This architectural ingenuity allows public traffic to seamlessly flow through the building, creating a dynamic interaction with its surroundings. Moreover, the Dulcia Line, a vital component of Oranjestad's transportation network, runs through the tower.
The Sister Grimsby does not provide direct connections to Tier 2 or Tier 3. It does feature a gateway to the Grand Narthex underground, Tier 1 access, and Tier 4 access.
