Template:Infobox Structures The Maze Bank Tower is a 1,050 feet (316 meters), 96-story skyscraper located in Downtown Los Santos, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto V. It is the tallest building in the state of San Andreas.
Description
This massive skyscraper and its adjoining plaza and gardens occupy an entire block in Pillbox Hill, demarcated by San Andreas Avenue, Vespucci Boulevard, Alta Street and Power Street. It is one of the most recognizable buildings in Los Santos, often used in establishing shots for the city in films and television programs. The skyscraper features a usable helipad on its roof.
The building was constructed prior to 1985 and is the main headquarters for Maze Bank, and is based on the real-life U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles, the tallest building west of the Mississipi River and the 64th tallest building in the world. It is also the second tallest building in a major active seismic region; its structure was designed to resist an earthquake of 8.3 on the Richter scale.
The Maze Bank Tower is the HD Universe counterpart of the Los Santos Tower from GTA San Andreas.
