Build-n-Share Challenge #155-156 • Florian's Fitness Center
Due to traffic, you're running late getting to the office. This is why you greet Rose, "Morning Rose, sorry I'm so behind. Traffic was terrible coming into town." without noticing the huge and bulky man sitting in the corner eyeing your harried appearance.
Rose coughs and stands up. "It's not a problem, however you have a surprise appointment." She announces and gestures for the man to stand up.
In a strong Austrian accent, he introduces himself. "I'm very sorry to burst in, but when I asked who was in charge of the recent work done on Central Park your name popped up and I decided to drop in on the chance you had some time to see me." The newly introduced Lukas Florian stated.
While Rose is getting together your morning coffee and other refreshments, you lead Mr. Florian into your office. "Please, have a seat. I'm very interested in what brought you here so suddenly Mr. Florian." You say, taking a seat.
Just then Rose comes in passing out refreshments and some pastries. "Thank you Rose." He says kindly, making her blush a bit. "And please call me Lukas."
The way he says it makes me flush a bit as well. "Hmmhmm, okay so let's get started. What can I do for you Lukas?"
"Well, it's like this. I own a chain of fitness centers and have been looking to open a few new ones. My team has been out scouting areas and originally we were going to pass over Sunset Valley, but one of my scouts passed through and noticed how many people were around due to the upgrade of just the park. So when they called me, I decided to come out for myself and do some research. In the past few months there's been a rise in Sunset Valley's population. Young couples, families just starting out and it turns out you have quite a few celebrities that have been attracted to the area because of the concert venue added to the park." He paused to take a breath here.
Lukas stood up and began pacing as he continued. "What it all comes down to is that the commercial lots here have become prime reality. I just went over to the 28 Hour Wellness Center and bought out the owner. This is where I want my newest fitness center. The cost of the center was a little over 121,000 Simoleans and I'm willing to invest more into it for a total of 175,000 Simoleans." Lukas finished, sitting back down and looking my way.
I was flabbergasted, 175k simo's was a lot of money to sink into a property like that. "So, what are your ideas for this center?" I asked, pulling my notepad and pen towards me. It was time to take some serious notes.
"You can either upgrade everything in the place, and I mean everything. It's so outdated I couldn't believe there were patrons." He shook his head and focused.
"I'd prefer if you bulldozed it and started fresh though, but whatever works best with the budget. This town is more homey, but with some modern thrown in. I don't know if a fully modern build will fit in, so I'll let you work out the specifics. The building should blend in though. It will need ample parking, at least 3 of each kind of exercise machines, bathrooms, showers, a sitting area, a lap pool at least, at least 2 dressing rooms and a juice bar. With membership to my fitness centers, you get the full deal. I expect celebrities, business men and business women to be stopping in when they have a bit of time to spare and those dressing rooms will be a necessity for them. DO you think you can manage that all on that budget?" He asks.
"I believe I can. Let me draw up some ideas and we should have something in a couple of weeks." You say. After a bit more clarification on some things, you walk him to the door. Taking a deep breath you head back in and to the drawing board.
Requirements:
-Your budget is $175,000 fully furnished
-Bulldoze or Completely Remodel 28 Hour Wellness Center in Sunset Valley
-Any design will work, but a bit modern is needed
-At least 3 of:
-Parking Spaces
-Bathrooms
-Each type of exercise machine
-2 or more dressing rooms with dressing tables or dresser and mirror
-pool, can be just a pool for swimming laps
-Juice bar with a couple tables and chairs for sims to sit at
Optional:
You can put in a counter with register to order food at with the juice bar and a hot tub area. Make it a relaxing place for sims to unwind after a long workout with friends.
Good luck!
