Adding a SKYSCRAPER to my Minecraft City Whiteburg City Ep. 1
Welcome back to Building Whiteburg City! In this episode, we break ground in the heart of the financial district — Queen Anne’s Corner — to construct the city’s newest landmark: The Ellis Tower 🏢 and its surrounding public space, Dukes Square 🌳.
Before we rise high with our skyscraper, we focus on street detailing and transforming the square park into a bustling city centrepiece. Inspired by Stockport Town Hall, The Ellis Tower is a fictional high-rise designed with personal meaning — named in honour of my late Nan (Ellis being her surname), and with Dukes Square commemorating her maiden name.
🏗️ What you’ll see in this episode:
- Urban planning & park design in Minecraft
- Creating historical lore around your builds
- Custom Minecraft skyscraper design
- Architectural storytelling through block choices
- The transformation of a once-residential zone into a financial powerhouse
Next episode, I’ll bring back the past by recreating some of the old townhouses that once lined Dukes Square — stay tuned!
