And put it on lego ideas. Unless that can't be done for already licenced themes.

For the sky scrapers, maybe you can do commercial establishments at the bottom? Maybe like a condo sky scraper?

yeah good idea

For sky scrapers you should build stepped back profiles so they don't come out just one big rectangle.

The skyscraper with the arched windows looks amazing! I hope you finish the top with a nice period appropriate cornice. It's just perfect.

I love how the bike lanes are coming along. I'd have never used blue, and I'd have missed out because it looks amazing. It really contrasts with the neutral colors of road in a way that makes the road look clean and well maintained

It’s just like a real city! Buildings changing, roads getting worked on, adding new buildings and demolishing others. And then trying to squeeze in future LEGO sets in the process. Anyway thanks for always keeping us entertained, and it’s great watching the twins grow up too! I live in Orlando and I need to grab the new Disney Castle soon.

You need to do a skyscraper around the pillar. Your city is looking great!

Just a brainstorm… what if the botanical garden was on top of one of the new skyscrapers? Like you see in new York on top of Rockefeller center or other cities? It would look super cool! Maybe if it was on top of one of the shorter ones in front of avengers tower ? 😊 have a great day!!

elevation change in the city wouldn't be hard to accomplish, just a very large amount of parts, which isn't much of a problem for you. Just change the road plates to be brick build and do 2 separate one way lines with a boulevard design in the center separating the lanes with foliage. The will also allow one lane to remain flat on the un elevated block while allowing for the other lane to increase and decrease in elevation by hiding the elevation change with a large landscaped planter between the 2 lanes.

The black and white skyscraper looks too squarish, changing shapes and more details would make it better The nougat one is awesome You could build skyscrapers based off ones irl Great plans for the city

town hall would look great extended to the corners

Your kids are super cute :) can't wait to see them enter the lego city and build around. You could double the height of the Friends School building to the height or you could at least add on floor. Greets from Germany

I think a Carvana Style Vertical Car Dearlership would be a cool addition in the skyscraper block

Adding elevation variance would look awesome! The way I'm imagining it though would involve rebuilding the bottom floor of almost every building so e.g. the back door would be lower than the streetside door to account for slope, which would likely lock the layout mostly in place because every MILS plate would have a unique and contextual edge elevation profile.

I saw someone say this about the sky scrapers. I love the idea of putting business and things on the first floor. Stores/shopping, resturants, markets, things like that. Maybe a pharmacy, deli, liquor store, apple store, things like that. Cinnabon, who knows?

I think the idea of a skyscraper made using both the white and black flooring sections is excellent, looks great, very modern and similar to some of the buildings I see going up currently. I also go along with the previous comment, have some retail at the base (corner of Yonge and Bloor for example, given Toronto though!), coffee shop, convenience store, news agents , clothing (shirts/tops) store maybe. Would reflect the layout of a lot of skyscrapers.

I think some small elevation would be cool. Gove some more variety for road scenes. If you raise them enough in mils format, you could save some money or parts and use duplo blocks. Also, having parts of the buildings above the road level could be a neat design. Have a building a few blocks above the base road level, and the road ramps up between a brick built retaining wall, maybe with a ramping up sidewalk.

I think you should consider supersizeing the town hall to a double-corner-building like your boutique hotel!

Elevation changes within the flat city? BOLD... I love it! It's extremely ambitious, but it will push your LEGO abilities to new heights! ;) As part of a trial run, I wonder if there would be a smaller area in the city that you could elevate? Maybe the haunted house or the strip next to your standing hole? It would expose that area for better visibility, and one of the elevated edges could cut off right by the standing hole, saving your from having to build up that flat side with so much extra brick.

For the skyscrapers, since you can't build downwards for an underground parking garage, maybe you can have the first two floors be parking spots?

U should if u want build a stadium of any sport like hockey or soccer

I've seen a couple other comments on this, but I think you could add a couple skyscrapers with restaurants and stores on the bottom floor. Also, if you added balconies for a few towers that would be really cool!

Woo hoo! I love the direction that the Lego City is going in! Can't wait to see what's next!

I like the idea of the smooth white alternating with the textured black. Food for thought, around here (mountainous area) we often have a building that's up high, but the sidewalk and road are lower down. There's a retaining wall and then a ramped secondary sidewalk that goes up to the building. I'm not saying so that with the entire block, but maybe one side of it?

Imagine removing the rebrickable corner buildings next to town hall and expanding it to take up the full two baseplates. Think that would look amazing👍

Now that the bike lanes are more or less settled you should add rental bikes

I love the idea of elevating you blocks to add some more dynamism to the city! If you look at big cities like nyc, a lot of the neighborhoods have their own character in the steep streets of the west side, or the narrow winding roads of the financial district. I think its the perfect addition, and I love how creative you are being!!

i think the skyscrapers should have more detail on the facades like balconies and greenery and more detailed arches and texture

Try acetone on a print part that you don’t mind distorting. To see if you can clean the print of & then you could clean the Zebra crossing instead of buying new ones.

you should try making a parking garage so all the cars would have a place to park

I definitely like the straighter ends to the bike lanes to the "rounded" ones, but overall it adds a nice pop of color to the city!

Your doing amazing kylie. Good luck on the movie

You could use Dublo as the carrying structure under the raised structure. It is compatible with regular lego plates.

I really like the design of the nougat skyscaper design. It has a really cool feel to it

I think if you tiled the town square in a pattern it would look cool. It's representative of the town so it being a little fancier makes a bit of sense.

you can also build an empire state building type of skyscraper. Not just a square shape building but one where it starts out big on the bottom then gets smaller and smaller the taller it goes up and ends almost at a point.

You may want to design a cycle crossing, they are like classic zebras but they have just outside lines, look for the image of it and try to lay it in the roads.

For the sky scrapers I think you should try an eco one with plants and trees growing up it to bring some real colour to City sky line.

All these double modular you've been doing have really inspired me to try doing it myself, I just found a deal for the sanctum sanctorum and I'm gonna have a go at doubling it up (will probably go 1 and a half baseplate as my inventory of parts isn't huge otherwise I might have gone 48x48) I also one day hope to double up my new daily bugle just like yours! (just got that too, payday is great xD) There are a lot of amazing builders out there, but you really inspire me to get off my butt and actually work towards having my own city, even if atm it is two buildings xD

What about putting the sky scrapers behind the modular construction site. Seems appropriate location? Also, you need some pedestrian bridges over some of your roads.

The new townhall gardens are great.

you could do a mock try with your spare base plates on the rising idea to see what it looks like before breaking up the area you want to put it in the city then you see if it is worth doing without destroying what you have already made streetwise just an idea.

i think the skyscrappers take a lot of room and attention alone.. maybe thenew hills idea would be best suited for a residential area remake. Also, the smaller houses would be easier to manage on top of a hill than HUGE buildingd

Hi Jordan. Going up with the mils will gulf parts like crazy. 😂 I’m going up enough so I can run a metro line below my city. It was a crazy idea but hopefully it will work. All the best to you, twins and Jose.

I love the look of the taller floors for the skyscrapers. Especially with the clear window ones you can put some cool scenes inside that will be able to be seen a lot better in the city.

If you part out the alt build pub you could add an extra floor to the corner garage 😊

When you move the crosswalk, you should also add a crosswalk to the bike lane.

I know you said you want to not use wood to elevate but if it was me I'd layer brick-height thick wood boards on top of each other then just sit mils on top. Then you only need to change edges/slopes and can easily swap mils plates around after.

If you do a raised platform maybe you do not need to raise the road plates instead you create cool stairways or elevators to the raised platform which perhaps makes it less complicated 🙂

next generation of lego city builders already paying attention I see :) also, awesome work on the city, really cool to follow along with the build progress

You can get dark azure road plates. Also you should use the digon ally set and build a skyscraper that is themed around digon ally.

recommendation on skyscrappers: Go thinner, go taller!

Would be nice to see some kind of San Francisco victorian houses on elevated streets!

awesome video jordan the skyscrapers are looking amazing so far great job

For the small road plates I believe they have it in the bike lane color blue on PAB!!

Not sure if you've ever added an Area 51-esque set piece to the city, but it'd be cool! 👽🛸

you could just not add those tiles to the places that need it because it coulod be old sidewalk thats breaking cause your city is perfect so you should add some detail like that

Instead of a normal sky scraper you could build a lego ninjago borg tower it would look great in your city

I think skyscrapers are such a great idea for the downtown district. its great to see how far you have come as a builder! its so awesome to see you prototyping different ideas. That being said I would say taking reference from life could be a great starting place for inspo for the visuals of these skyscrapers. I think it would be so cool if you could somehow create a flatiron building ( wedge shaped building ) It seems quite hard to do in lego but I think it could have so much character and be an awesome challange for and awesome builder like yourself! have a great day !!!! love and watch your uploads most days ! thanks for the hard work Bricksie!

I like your bike accident scene

Add a Mario land from Japan like with the castle custom eating spots and u should get peaches castle and bowsers castle and dry bowsers casle

The white one reminds me a bit of First Canada Place, or BMO tower, tallest building in Canada

Love the nougat and blue windows building, it looks yummy ha ha couldn't think of a better word. Comment 2 🙂

Very excited for the skyscraper block it will be :_EPIC:

Wonderful!

In my city, they basically turned those white stripes for the crosswalk blue for the bike lanes to keep going and be a street crossing

Another option for your bike crossing are adding the strips, similar to the pedestrian crosswalk, just in dark azure. This is something I believe is becoming more common in the real world.

Split the road and have one side follow the incline and one stay flat.

Different ground levels in the city sounds like a great idea but hard to do with the city established. I feel you will have to remove a whole block or two and sort of start from scratch. Good luck it will be interesting for us to follow at home and hopefully give others some ideas for their own towns.

I’m a big fan I just had an idea when you talk about rising roads Rise the houses so they are. More visible in the background

I don't think you need to elevate the road too. In a lot of business district you have elevated buildings that have stairs that lead to road level. It would even allow you to make little statues or perks on the corners (on top, but if you do it at road level you can make something with a backdrop like the Prometheus Fountain in New York) and even a bridge to the other side. What about a bridge that leads into another building. It'll also mean you have a wall you can do some cool pattern on, built-in art or information plaques. Maybe even an entrance for a subway. I think, not elevating the road will 'force' you to come up with more creative things and you don't have to rebuild the road or the whole other side.

I'd be careful to remember the reason WHY you changed to the MILS plate system to begin with. You can build that elevation on the MILS.

Watching your vids with your creative process is fantastic. I love your passion for Lego. Comment 3 🙂

The elevation is an awesome idea! Loving also the new fountain/park in front of the townhall. If I can give you an advice, you should double also the Diner modular in height, in order to match the new skyscraper area.

Just one small hint i would do the skyscraper base with masonary bricks and modern look (black and white) higher

you have another 8x16 road plate piece in the city crane set that you have, last you said you hadn't opened it. I bought a bunch of these on the pick a brick site 2 years ago when the crane or the Stuntz sets were released when that piece became available without the crosswalk lines on it

Lego does make those road plates in the same blue color as the bike lanes. I believe there was at least one in those city wildlife sets (with elephants and lions) if you have that. Wouldn’t hurt to see how it looks as a replacement in the areas where the bike lanes conflict with the crosswalks. Might be a little too wide, but just an idea.

you should do three skyscrapers with all three of the designs

If you make elevated roads be sure to add a sonic the hedgehog minifigure on a snowboard slide down the road like in city escape from sonic adventure 2

I thinking ridden the pub and replacing it with an empty hollow see through tower would be a drop, i get replacing some buildings with towers to form a district or block but please not at other actual content (not standard box sets) expense That white skyscraper design is incredibly obstructive whilst being incredibly see through with no content, your town will be going from heavy deep occupancy to bizarre empty suberb. Perhaps swap the extended diner for the construction site so it looks like they building another skyscraper in the skyscraper district AND keep unique feature filled content

Might be able to use a pencil eraser to remove the white lines. You can erase mini-fig faces with them.

for elevation to the city, instead of using lego has a base, could think about building a base out of wood like you did the raise platform, then just covering that with lego, mils plating, etc...

Bricksie if you’re going ahead with elevation changes you could try using a doubled mills plate system. Just flip the bottom layer upside down and connect the 2 mills plates with a couple of pins. Easily removed if the effect isn’t what you hoped for! Good luck with your new projects, looking awesome as always, but even more so

Hey there, I have an idea for your elevation & buildings integration. I used to live in the midwest and they have basements, I'm talking, very deep basements that are more like foundation. Some of these can be found around hilly areas like San Fransisco too probably. Just build "cement" basements/foundations that are in the hill with the modular building on it? I's hard to explain without pictures. Maybe you can Google buildings in San Fransisco or Midwest (Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, etc) for ideas based on this. You can also build skyscrapers that might have ben damaged in an earthquake or something too?

Jordan the skyscraper and bycicle paths...would for the paths not be better the color of the Jazz club looking like gravel? And the skyscraper...ground floor the black unit, then the two with blue curved windows and then the two white...just a suggestion

Build Wayne Enterprises as a tower!

patterning the tiles in the park might improve it a little. the towers look good but for those with clear windows it'll look better with some interior - I don't think the double height floors are a problem, but a little office space or something inside would bring those modules to life. not so much of a problem with the blue trans because the interior isn't as visible

Add two sky scrapers around the UP house

2:35 maybe have the bike lane corner connected to the other bike lane?

3:20 yeah LEGO do sell them. because i order for mine roadplate street.

The skyscraper is looking good!

Ikea in the US has those white Lego boxes that work well for elevation. Not sure if you have that option in Canada

Bricksie, have you looked at the lego set 41705, Heartlake City Pizzeria??? Why I ask? Jazz Club it's pizza place, think you can use one, there? Maybe adding a floor, to that pizza place? As for you crosswalk, use a strip of stone-work. But bicycle lanes are normally on both sides of the road, unless it's so wide, you can go both direction and then you are looking at 1/2 a road wide in terms of wide. Skyscraper, the white, black, white, looks very good. Are you going to use the stone ones for the lower section? Because then you have a classic style lower part and a modern upper part, which would look quite good. Say, how familiar are you with the cartoon Disney made in the 90's, called Gargoyles? It had a castle on-top of a skyscraper. Say Bricksie, what if you could add the Diner to the right side of the Bowling Alley? I think it could actually look very good, if you can turn them into one (bigger) building. Location might then be a problem, though, longer then two baseplates. Be it would add a nice side-wall to the Bowling Alley, while also letting you lay the basis to add in a extra floor to the building. Give it your own twist, to both buildings, by making them one. Helps you counter the similar style problem, both buildings have.

Epic video cannot wait for the new skyscrapers

Why shrink the size of the square in front of town hall to make city more crowded look. Your city doesnt lack of buildings but open spaces like parks, gardens, plazas. Sometimes less is more

Texts go green

Build the construction site modular building higher

It might look good to combine the masonry skyscraper with arch windows with the black option on top.

You should add a sinkable plate in the manholes.

Awsome lego city update pizza 🍕 time

You could increase the construction site to be a taller building
