Lapis Bay is a Senator city founded and owned by AlphaDS, located at XE31 on the MRT Expo Line. Lapis Bay is a coastal town with resorts and low to high-density buildings.
History
Creation and foundation (2019)
A day after AlphaDS joined and applied for Member on May 4, 2019, he found XE39 and considered starting Lapis Bay there; however, HenryRileyYT, who had his application accepted half an hour earlier than AlphaDS, took the station and built Wexford. AlphaDS then founded Lapis Bay at XE31. The station of XE30 was also given from EliteNeon to AlphaDS.
After Lapis Bay was founded, construction began immediately. The first area developed was Venessa Bay Central, with the first building being completed adjacent to the XE31. As AlphaDS ranked up from Member to Trustee, many buildings were completed, including the Venessa Bay Apartments, the tallest build at the time. Lapis Bay received the rank of Councillor on 16 June 2019, and development on South Venessa Bay started. Parts of North Venessa Bay, as well as Venessa Bay Ferry Terminal, were completed when Lapis Bay achieved Mayor on July 4, 2019.
Post-Mayor (2019–2020)
During the summer of 2019, AlphaDS moved to Canada, and the development of Lapis Bay slowed down. At the September 2019 GSM, the B228 was approved and completed a month later. At the same time, the Venessa Bay District was completed and five Lapis Metro stations were constructed underground. At the November 2019 GSM, the A245 was approved and a portion was built north of Venessa Bay.
Around November 2019, a new district south of Venessa Bay began construction. Construction of the Seaview Resort lasted a few weeks, with drastic improvements on the exterior and interior build quality. The resort is one of the largest on the MRT Server, with 55 rooms, pools, beaches, a mini-golf course, and a park. A number of houses and the sixth Lapis Metro station was built before the Zeta migration.
Senator and Rode era (2020–present)
For a few months in 2020, very little to no development occurred in Lapis Bay. In July 2020, a pair of office buildings were built on a new area later known as Lake Lazuli. A week before Christmas in 2020, Lapis Bay saw rapid development again. Numerous skyscrapers were built in two weeks, as well as the seventh Lapis Metro Station. On January 10, 2021, Lapis Bay was submitted to the Senator promotion form, and was promoted by a unanimous vote of 7-0.
After the city achieved Senator, development was halted while A245 was being built. In February 2021, BluRail offered to provide service to the city. Two months later, bidding occurred for the naming rights of the upcoming Lapis Bay Senator Airport. godzilltrain won the auction with a bid of $2,000 and named the airport Lapis Bay Expo East Airport.
In late April, the city applied to host MRT Summer Games 2021. However, the bid was given to Cape Cambridge. A month later, Lapis Bay won the bid to host XXI TacoBurritoAThon on June 26, 2021. It was the first time Lapis Bay hosted a major event. As a result, the district of Pine Hills was founded early, with two starting facilities in the area: spleef and sumotori.
In November 2022, IntraRail began construction on the 68 line in Lapis Bay.
