General view of the Big Pointy Building in GTA San Andreas, as viewed from Calton Heights.
The Big Pointy Building is a 850 foot tall (78-story), 257 m office building in San Fierro. Located in the city's Financial district, the tower is the tallest building in San Fierro. The tiny roof at its pinnacle is accessible to the player, at which a parachute spawns in case the urge to leap off should arise. This point provides a 360 degree panoramic view of San Fierro, granting some choice shots to amateur photographers patient enough to wait for the fog to lift.
Influences
This structure is meant to emulate San Francisco's Transamerica Pyramid, which sits at the north end of the city's financial district, and is San Francisco's tallest structure, and a well known part of the city's skyline.
Trivia
The sign with the Easter egg
- There are various signs around the base of the building. They read as follow: "Voted San Andreas Pointiest Building", "'Big Prick' Jokes Are Forbidden", "Visitors Welcome", and "No Basejumping".
- According to the signs on the base of the building, the address of the building is 69 Hasselhoff Street, which could be a reference to the Transamerica Pyramid's construction in 1969 and possibly actor David Hasselhoff.
- Although this building is seemingly the tallest structure in the whole city, the nearby San Fierro Tower is actually taller, if its antenna height is included. However, the Big Pointy Building is still the tallest building in San Fierro by floor count.
- If the player has completely maxed out the health bar, he/she can jump off the building with out a parachute and survive.
