To Mr V. Briggs,
Director of Urban Development,
Monopoly Game Town
Sir,
I attach hereunder plans and photographs of our submission for Contract 3.
The building is constructed of basic materials [Base Game] to the specified basic design on Lot C. Our design comprises a terraced row of 4 2-storey street retail units with attractive frontages. With the blend of traditional and modern that you expect from Jones & Moltke, we feel we have created an ambience that will encourage increased footfall, and hence economic activity in this important area of the town. In pursuance of this aim, we have increased the provision of street-lighting by replacing the original two lamp posts by three modern sodium lights mounted on aluminium posts. These are positioned for optimum illumination of the pedestrian circulatory area in front of the shops.
We regret that, due to circumstances outwith our control, we have been unable to obtain fire alarms from our usual suppliers, and we note and appreciate your waiver clause 1 of your Safety & Hygiene Standards for Commercial Zones in this regard. My board of directors attach the highest importance to the safety of users of our properties and strongly recommend the retrospective fitting of these devices if and when they are again available, even though this would add §400 to the cost of the development. We have however succeeded in sourcing wall telephones which may be used by staff to call the emergency services. These have been provided in 7 of the 8 public rooms in the property the exception being the ground floor of Unit 1 where continuous staffing would not be expected. The coin-operated public telephone at the roadside has also been retained for this purpose; calls to the emergency services are free.
All in all we feel we are contributing an attractive retail environment which will enhance the lives of your citizens of all socio-economic groups, thus increasing your tax revenues.
I am yours faithfully,
Andrew Jones,
Managing Director
Situated near the free parking, is Jones & Moltke's newest development in Monopoly Game Town in The Strand (twinned with Kentucky Avenue, Atlantic City, New Jersey). It consists of 4 two-storey retail type units in an attractive terrace. The units are of modern construction, but present a traditional appearance to the street. Unit 1 is dedicated leisure and recreation. Downstairs are pinball machines, a chess table and a dining area where visitors can enjoy food they have cooked on the grill outside. Upstairs is a bar and a dartboard. There is ample comfortable seating. Unit 2 is for fashion -- women and girls are catered for downstairs, men and boys upstairs. The ground floor of Unit 3 is a furniture showroom; as befits the unit's Veronavillesque Tudor frontage, the first floor is Jones & Moltke's Commercial Sales office. Unit 4 sells groceries downstairs and magazines and games upstairs.
The rear of the building is plain, functional and unadorned. There is no public access to the rear -- these shops are intended to be viewed from the front!

On the ground floor of Unit 1 is a dining table where visitors can eat hot dogs and burgers they have cooked on the grill outside. There are also comfortable sofas, pinball machines, and a chess table in the annexe which is visible through the arch at the back of the room. It is possible to hire this room for meetings.
Upstairs, on the first floor of Unit 1 is a drinks bar. This is the view from the bar, looking towards the back of the room. The unusual object on the rear wall is a keumungo, a traditional Korean musical instrument.
This is the view looking towards the bar.
Unit 2 is a fashion outlet. Female fashion is downstairs. At the back of the room, through the blue door is a staff toilet. To the right of it is a painting which is believed to depict a famous Pleasantview Sim.
Upstairs is the men's and boys' department.
With its Tudor style frontage, Unit 3 is our favourite of the units. On the ground floor is a furniture showroom, specialising in affordable furniture. At the back are the male public toilets for the entire building.
Upstairs is Jones & Moltke's Commercial Sales office, which provides a business-like but comfortable ambience, where prospective business customers can discuss their property requirements with our expert staff. Our commercial specialists can use the computers to bring up details of available commercial properties in Monopoly Game Town and other areas in which our clients may be interested.
The ground floor of Unit 4 contains a well-stocked grocery department, with the building's female toilets behind.
Above the grocery department is an entertainment shop where magazines and video games can be purchased.

LOT PRICE
The Sim enquiring about the price of this property is one-time Veronaville townie Keith Cormier. According to sources close to the directors of Jones & Moltke, Keith is likely to be confirmed as the company's representative in Monopoly Game Town. An official announcement is expected soon.
