233 Liberty Lane is a skyscraper in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in City Hall, Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description[]
233 Liberty Lane is bounded to the north by Diamond Street, to the east by Liberty Lane, to the south by Calcium Street and to the west by Union Drive West. The building is a large skyscraper presumably built during the early 20th century, distinguishable by its ornate neo-Gothic style facade, use of mansard roofs and a elaborate crown. The building is a major feature of the Lower Algonquin skyline, appearing very much visible from the mouth of the West River, Suffolk, and Star Junction, which is seen when driving southbound on Denver-Exeter Avenue.
The existence of retail businesses implies the building is primarily intended for commercial use, although its proximity with other municipal buildings in the district may suggest city governmental departments may be operating within the building (Kiki works as a public defender in the "Civic Citadel", although it could be implied she actually works at the city hall building).
Additionally, there are jump ramps at the northern and southern sides of the building. Players can execute a stunt jump using these ramps.
233 Liberty Lane is the fifth tallest building in the game, surpassed by the South Parkway Building, Bawsaq Building, Zirconium Building and Rotterdam Tower. It surpasses the Panoramic Towers in Hatton Gardens.
Influence[]
The building is clearly based on the Woolworth Building in New York City.

- A scene taking place inside the building is featured in the movie "Meltdown" in Grand Theft Auto V.
- The building is incorrectly labeled as "Civic Citadel" on the game's hard-copy map.
