Comparisons
It has been noted many times that the building has similarities to the original World Trade Center Twin Towers, being the tallest building in Liberty City, surpassing that of the Empire State Building equivalent, similarly to the real NYC. However, there is only one tower, and the building is even taller with a 437.6 meter roof, comparing to the North WTC Tower's 417 meter roof. However, there is much speculation about the GTA III beta that the character Darkel who was removed because of the events of 9/11 was going to have the player fly the fully-winged Dodo into these buildings. This also would explain the mysterious disappearance of Donald Love and have potentially caused the buildings to be changed. Some players have even speculated that the building looks as if the Twin Towers were merged together into a single building block.
