Description
The Triangle Building is the in-game version of the Flatiron Building located in the New York City district of Flatiron District, and as such, is designed as a slender skyscraper with a three-sided floorplan from top to bottom, contributing to its peculiarity and resulting in the building serving as a draw for sightseers.

Viendemerte, Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts and an Al Dente's restaurants (with "Grand Opening" banners on the window) are depicted to be operating at the base of the building.
