"Yes." Ethan said simply, "maybe call it Stark City? Mini City?… i don't know , we can work out the name later"
The man looked up at him, slightly taken aback by how casually he accepted that.
"That scale of development," he began carefully, "would require far more than structural adjustments. You'd essentially be creating something that operates on its own. Infrastructure, governance, maintenance systems—"
"And revenue," Ethan cut in.
The man paused.
Ethan finally looked up fully. "If I'm going to hold land of this size," he continued, "then it shouldn't just sit here and serve one purpose."
He gestured across the spread.
"It builds, It produces. It houses. That's fine. But—" his finger tapped the residential section once, "—it should also earn."
The room stilled.
"You're already planning to house thousands of workers," Ethan went on. "That alone creates movement, trade and demand. People need services, supplies, somewhere to spend what they earn."
