Description
GTA III
In GTA III, set in 2001, the mansion is seemingly used by the Cartel, which is led by Catalina close to the end of the storyline, as a base of operation. The player can enter the compound by arriving in a Cartel Cruiser to allow the compound gate to automatically open.
The mansion becomes a focal point during "Ransom" when Maria is kidnapped by the Cartel and Claude is instructed by Catalina to head to the mansion and hand over a $500,000 ransom in exchange for Maria's life. Having lured him in, Catalina leaves Claude at the mercy of her Cartel men, with Maria in tow. After surviving an onslaught of several Cartel goon, Claude manages to escape the compound, pursuing Catalina to Cochrane Dam, killing her, and rescuing Maria. After the events of GTA III, it is unknown if the Cartel still own the mansion.
