[[ | [[File:Morningstarbuilding-GTAIII-plaza.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The plaza on the east side of the Morningstar building in GTA III, prominently featuring a transparent star-shaped sculpture. Note also the Morningstar logo over an entrance into the Morningstar building.]] | ||
Standing 191.5 m (628.2 ft) high and based on the [[wp:Trump Tower (New York City)|Trump Tower]] in New York City, the building's floor plan is a truncated rectangle where one of the corners form a stepped garden. It has glass panel façade which gives it overall blue colour. When seen from far away, it practically seems invisible as it visually blends, with it's similar façade and small height, with the much larger [[Jefferson St. Credit Union building]]. Above the entrance, there is a white star logo, similar to the sculpture on the plaza in front. | Standing 191.5 m (628.2 ft) high and based on the [[wp:Trump Tower (New York City)|Trump Tower]] in New York City, the building's floor plan is a truncated rectangle where one of the corners form a stepped garden.

The signature plaza in front of the building contains steps encircling the denivelated plateau with the prominent transparent sculpture of a star (actually two blended triangular prisms), probably the "Morning Star", a logo of Morning Star Industries. | The signature plaza in front of the building contains steps encircling the denivelated plateau with the prominent transparent sculpture of a star (actually two blended triangular prisms), probably the "Morning Star", a logo of Morning Star Industries. | ||
