Skyward is an unincorporated area on the border northwestern Thentar and eastern Kohharu. The closest major metropolitan area is Kagami. It will be home to the Skyward Motorsports Campus and various resorts, commercial districts, residential districts, and a multitude of various differing parks and other projects. Skyward as a whole is Layfet's most expensive and only "megaproject" which, at current-value estimates, will cost approximately $L500 Billon at completion. Construction at the site began in 1978. There are currently no estimates for when the project will be completed.
The Skyward Group, a collective alliance of various private and public entitles including General Stores, Koharuese Motor Works, Layfet Air, Telrenz Motor Company as well as the Governments of Kohharu and Thentar, the National Park Service, among others, controls the site. The site itself, while unincorporated due to location, is part of a special "Skyward Development" district that is administered by the Layfetian Department of the Interior.
Skyward Construction, a subsidiary company of the Skyward Group and is currently responsible for the site's construction is currently Layfet's third largest employer behind the Layfetian Federal Government and the Twin Cities Metropolitan Authority. Currently, the first of three planned paved race tracks - The Skywardring, two ski resorts - Sky Mountain Resort and Kaze-Shīrudo Resort, the Skyward Mall, and the Skyward Office Park are the fully constructed areas. Infrastructure for the Skyward National Forest, Sky Mountains National Recreation Area, and the man-made Lake Sutarion National Recreation Area are also constructed and open. The Skyward Mall which opened in 1987 is currently operating at a third capacity. The two ski resorts have been open since 1983. The Skyward Ring has been open since 1994 and is used by Layfet's various racing clubs.
Current construction projects include the new headquarters for KMW, Telrenz, Ayala RV Company, and Pafōmansu Motor as well as the Skyward International Airport, World Motorsports Expo Center, Sky Mountains Rally Track, Skyward City Hall, two apartment complexes, the Telrenz Drag Strip, and the second paved race track - The Thentarring. A related infrastructure project, the Skyward Corridor, a divided highway with two lanes on each side running through the middle of the country, running from Cartwright through Higham Junction and acting as a bypass for Layfet City and Kagami (each having a branch of the Corridor to those cities) to Skyward is nearing completion.
Most of Layfet's auto manufactures have agreed to move their headquarters to Skyward by the end of the 21st century, but keep their production facilities in Windsor. The National Park Service will also have a branch in Skyward.
Skyward Group also connected with several city-planners across the country to create a plan for the eventual City of Skyward, which will ultimately takeover the site from the Skyward Group and administer the campus and resorts.
In April 2021, the Skyward Group opened up for foreign investors and governments to join the project.
