The third design for Prototype was the Highway. It lasted for many months, if not years.

The Highway design featured a highway across the center of the region with an underpass that connected the two sides; at its peak, one side hosted the SZYM Motors, Astaro, and Gentek store, while the other side had Lusch Motors and a gas station.

Prototype Gardens Mall

The Prototype Gardens Mall has been through three revisions so far.

Original

The original design featured a small square central atrium, which was surrounded by all stores. Because of this, the number of stores was limited.

When the GTMD and K-Ace stores were added, they had to extend off of the Astaro store. Eventually, a redesign was required to accommodate the growing number of affiliates and storefronts.

First Expansion

The Astaro, Lusch Motors, and Gentek stores after the first expansion.

The K-Ace, KYOTO, GTMD, and SZYM Motors/TAHDA stores, along with a storefront exclusively for furniture by all brands.

For expansion, the original mall was almost entirely torn down, and a new one was built in its place which extended outward to take up nearly half of the region.

An additional small change was performed to add an NTBI Global Credit Union ATM.

Second Expansion

The second expansion for the mall added two currently vacant stores at the end of a hallway between the K-Ace and KYOTO stores. Neither store has been finalized nor opened.

Concurrently, the Astaro store went through a remodel to make it more industrialized, while the Gentek store enjoyed a large expansion and remodel so that all products could be displayed.
