'''Summit''' is the eastern half of [[Oranjestad]]'s central business district, containing the headquarters of many prominent companies. It's name originates from when the area was once the highest point of the canal and lock system in Oranjestad.
'''Summit''' is a vibrant and integral district within the heart of [[Oranjestad|New Orange City]], known for its lively atmosphere, diverse and towering architectural landscape, and a plethora of businesses and amenities. This bustling urban hub serves as a testament to the city's dynamic evolution, seamlessly intertwining residential, commercial, and recreational elements.


==History==
====Architectural Diversity====
The skyline of Summit paints a striking picture of New Orange City's architectural diversity. A fusion of contemporary skyscrapers, historic landmarks, and avant-garde structures defines the district's visual identity, creating a captivating panorama that encapsulates the spirit of the city.


Summit's growth can be attributed to two major factors: The first arose after the discovery of the [[Lusus]] Caverns beneath the area in 1871, bringing an influx of prospectors and mining infrastructure jobs. The second was the annexation of both [[Irvington]] and [[Alfa Beach]] in the early nineteen hundreds, when the new source of tax dollars brought investors seeking a location close to the main ports and shipping canals. From that point forward the area grew substantially, as many skyscrapers were constructed.
====Commercial Hub====
At the core of Summit lies a thriving commercial landscape, featuring an array of businesses tailored to meet the diverse needs and preferences of its residents. From unique boutiques and specialty stores to renowned dining establishments and vibrant entertainment venues, Summit offers a dynamic and engaging environment, fostering a sense of community for both locals and visitors.


==Composition==
====Residential Tapestry====
While primarily a commercial center, Summit is not devoid of residential spaces. The district boasts a unique blend of living spaces, ranging from modern high-rise apartments to historic townhouses. This integration of residential areas within the bustling commercial landscape adds to the vibrancy of Summit, creating a well-rounded urban experience.


Summit comprises an area bounded by Skylan Expressway to the west, Shai-Ling Road to the east, [[Saturn Valley]] to the north, and [[Brahmin Beach]] to the south.  
====Strategic Location====
Summit owes much of its growth to its strategic location. Positioned above the densely populated [[Lusus]] neighborhood, with direct access to the canal system and the Budapest river, Summit has become a central point for transportation and commerce. The district is interconnected with several rail lines, including the Dulcia, Quintus, [[Omegaloop]], and [[Hyperloop]], facilitating easy movement within the city.


Most of the residential units in Summit are conversions of older buildings into modern loft spaces. Single-Family homes are a rarity in the district, with just a few along northern edge of the neighborhood.
Summit is east of [[Olde Orangetown]], south of [[Saturn Valley]], west of [[Little Beauregard]] and the town of Budapest, and north of [[Brahmin Beach]].
 
====Historical Significance====
The name "Summit" traces its origins to a time when the area marked the highest point of the canal and lock system in Oranjestad. Over the years, Summit has evolved from its historical roots into a bustling urban center, embracing modernity while preserving elements of its past.
 
Summit stands as a testament to New Orange City's commitment to harmoniously blending the old and the new, creating a district that reflects the city's diverse and ever-changing identity.
