Cleethorpes Tower

Cleethorpes Tower in GTA IV.

Cleethorpes Tower is a skyscraper in the fashionable Hatton Gardens shopping district of Algonquin in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, and stands at a height of 664 feet. The tower is located on Columbus Ave.

Description

The modernist tower is stated in peepthatshit.com as a building that "was built by Lyle Cleethorpes V purely to demonstrate to the world his great wealth. As a filthy-rich heir to a, quite frankly, awful family, fame obsessed Cleethorpes will do anything to get his face or name up in lights."

The tower, as well as the person involved in its construction, are based on both the Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York City, as well as Donald Trump. Cleethorpes Tower bears an uncanny resemblance with the Trump Tower down to the vegetated terraced decks near the base, and its facade design.
