* [http://www.nyc-architecture.com/LM/LM051-BANKOFNEWYORK.htm One Wall Street]. The GTA IV rendition appears to be similar to the building only by its facade design (as the game's rendition is not a tower, unlike One Wall Street) Even so, the game's rendition has a completely rearranged facade design, but certain features may still be easily indentified, such as vaulted and pointed windows, and limestone walls. Being adjoined to the 77 Water Street look-alike (see below), [[Tom Goldberg]]'s office at [[Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster]] appear to extend into the One Wall Street replica, as evidenced by the position of his office windows. | * [http://www.nyc-architecture.com/LM/LM051-BANKOFNEWYORK.htm One Wall Street].

* [[wp:23 Wall Street|23 Wall Street]], which in-game rendition is featured ''twice'' in two locations. One, located in the inner areas of the district, is significantly redesigned to fit into a lot where one side is curved. While the real-life building stands on its own, the in-game renditions serve as foundations for taller skyscrapers. | * [[wp:23 Wall Street|23 Wall Street]], which in-game rendition is featured ''twice'' in two locations.
