Named after Nicholas and Elizabeth King's granduncles, Richard Gates, and Michael Gates. (1966 - 2018). The towers are to be represent the two brothers, and will be an intended 30 stories tall, with a large, 5 story concourse, in which the reception hall, casino and lobbies are located.

## History

### Namesake

Nicholas and Elizabeth King, had recently came up with the idea of naming Kingdom Towers, a project set to be one of the largest, and most luxurious of the Kingdom Apartment-Hotel subsidiary, after Richard and Michael Gates. Both were brothers to the grandmother of Nicholas and Elizabeth, who was the mother figure to the two siblings. (if siblings) Michael Gates died in January 2018, and Richard Gates, who is alive as of May 2, 2022, remains in poor-health, and also bares namesake to the towers, with each of the twin-towers representing both Gates brothers.

### Construction Intentions

The complex is set to undergo construction sometime in the 2030s - 2040s, if financial success is met from previous Kingdom assets. It is unclear where the complex will be located, however, Biloxi is a potential location, due to mild gambling restrictions. CGI renderings are currently under development, however.

## Amenities and Features

Both towers are to support mostly apartments, however, for 5 floors on each tower, it will be set for hotel rooms. The rest of the structure is to support primarily apartments. There will also be an inside pool with a transparent floor, which will be a ceiling for the lower hallways. An aquarium will serve as a wall for the Runaway Jester restaurant located on site. That will serve as the club-bar and restaurant for the complex, and will cover two floors, to support a massive dance-floor, and bar games, such as pool, beer-pong, etc, and a stage for performances, such as comedy or music.

A gym will also be present, on the opposite tower, which will make up of two floors, with a large jogging track on the 2nd floor, giving observation views of the outside, and a balcony of the gym. Plastic guards will surround the track, to prevent running into the windows, despite the windows being extremely strong. (preferably to avoid scratches and stains) There will be an outdoor tennis-court within the plaza, which will also serve for volleyball, and the roof of one of the towers will also support a pool and hot-tub, along with a bar, and smaller club area.

The casino will be present on the concourse, which will include slot-machines, blackjack, poker, roulette, and many more. The lobby will contain photos of both Gates brothers, and a statue of each will be placed infront of the tower named after them.

A spa will also be present, which will allow a sauna, massages, pedicure/manicure, tattoos, haircuts, and other features. A pet-spa will also be available. Access to the sauna will be free, however, the other amenities will cost extra, although there may be certain days when free access will be given.

A recording studio for music production, recording and filming will be in one of the towers.

### Design

Much of the facility is to be modern, with a preference of black-red as a color scheme, and blue/red LED and neon lights across the structure. Rooms in the hotel will contain modern furniture in black-white fashions, or black-red, and appliances with the same criteria.

The roof of the lobby building will contain a garden, with grass, a large fountain, grass, and statues to Michael Gates, and Richard Gates, placed near their respective namesake tower. These statues will be surrounded with flowers, and a plaque, commemorating the two brothers.

The roof of the tower, lacking the pool/hot tub/club will likely be used for mechanical purposes, or if possible, wedding ceremonies.

Most of the interior will contain carpet, likely black, and the walls likely white, with red neon/LED giving it a red atmosphere. Red/Blue artificial torches will be used for alternative lighting, within the structures.

All of the furniture, or atleast a significant amount, will come from Kingdom Furniture.
