I have never posted photos of any of my properties here - so here are some:

The four OpenSpace regions around Digital Nirvana are now one new region called Sky Mark North.

I converted the four OpenSpace regions into one region for one reason: tier. I bought the regions in an effort to introduce a unique living experience - lots of space and privacy. Residents could have had an 8,192m space instead of squeezing everything onto a 1024m plot. The benefit of more space is privacy since you could place your house in the middle of the plot, and surround it by a forest.

Thnigs did not go as planned only some used the space. Most people seem to be more interested in having more prims than space.

The new estate has a new theme - which encompasses Digital Nirvana too. The theme is a waterfront community centered around shops and other semi-urban structures. So far I have leased eight plots - which cover about 1/3 of the island’s tier…a good start!

 

I have added four new openspaces regions to Digital Nirvana.

Openspaces are low-prim regions that are, as the name implies, meant to be used as open space rather than for builds with lots of prims or a lot of people present at one time.

The open spaces are called Brane One, Brane Two, Brane Three, and Brane Four. I’ll leave it as an exercise for you to figure out the meaning of the word ‘Brane’

The regions are in development now; however, the theme is based on natural spaces: trees, simple buildings, interesting landscapes, and of course - caves. Brane One, Two, and Three will have 2-3 occupants (tenants) each. The approach here is very different than the typical land rental. First, land size is going to be large - how large? One new guest is getting 16,000m2! (that is 1/4 of the region). Next - low prim. Each region supports up to 1875 prims - I ma reserving about 800 prims for common usage and the remaining 1000 for guests. Third - public access and usage. Anyone in SL will be able to use the regions for boating, flying and other activities. The regions will have a 30 minute autoreturn cycle and scripts are enabled.

Sky Mark properties recently expanded when we acquired more land in the Cristat sim. There are now a total of 60 condos that are barely visible to most people.

With the exception of a total of 21 condos, all condos are located in the sky and are at least 30m apart thereby providing a great deal of privacy (regular chat travels less than 30m, so chatting in the open while inside a condo reduces the chance of someone else in the area overhearing you).

In addition, with the exception of the ten condos at Sky Mark Six, all condos are completely customizable inside. We provide a scaled down version of the customizable condo capability found in our Heavenly Condos project. Sky Mark condos contain at least 30 textures you can use to customize the floor, windows, and even the outside railing! Changing textures is as simple as clicking the floor, window, or railing.

With the exception of Sky Mark Two, all other Sky Mark condos feature a locking door. When a guest first rents a condo, the rental system locks the door and makes the guest a door administrator. The guest can add and remove friends from the door’s access list from the moment the lease for the condo begins - the process of adding the leasor to the door’s access list is completely automated.

Here is an overview of the condos:

Sky Mark One: The original Sky Mark condo. This building is 11 stories high and offers two types of condos: single level and loft. The single level condo is a great starter and the loft is perfect for people that want some more space. Both condos are completely customizable and have the locking door capability. Prices start at L$50 per week.

Sky Mark Two: Offers a completely furnished condo and customizable interior. The condo allows residents to temporarily place their items (things get returned every five hours). This building was an experiment in minimalism - a great starter without having to be concerned about prim limits. All condos at Sky Mark Two are L$50 per week.

Sky Mark Three: Offers a great deal of privacy since each condo is spaced at least 30m apart. Sky Mark Three  condos are completely customizable and have the locking door capability. All condos at Sky Mark Three are only L$60 per week.

Sky Mark Four: Very similar to Sky Mark Three; the lease for the condos at Sky Mark Four start at L$75/week - lofts are also available.

Sky Mark Five: Larger (10×14m with a private patio), singe-level condos  All condos at Sky Mark Five at L$150/week.

Sky Mark Six: Offers a completely redesigned condo with several living spaces and a private patio. The lease for the condos at Sky Mark Six is L$200/week.
