The Rotterdam Tower is an Art Deco skyscraper located in [[Midtown Algonquin]], in [[The Triangle]] district south of [[Star Junction]]. It covers its entire block, bounded by Garnet Street to the south, [[Frankfort Avenue]] to the west, [[Hematite Street]] to the north and [[Denver-Exeter Avenue]] to the east. The Tower consists of 102 floors (including its pinnacle), the [[#82nd floor observatory|82nd exterior observatory deck]] being originally the only one accessible in GTA IV (via the building's main entrance on Denver-Exeter Avenue).

In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], more details are added to the Rotterdam Tower, changes that were prominently featured during "[[High Dive]]". The building features a ground lobby that the player can enter; the spire of the building may also be accessed by climbing up a series of ladders. The colored floodlights are pink now, as opposed to the blue, white, and red seen in GTA IV and [[The Lost and Damned]]. (The lobby and the spire are also accessible in The Lost and Damned.)
From dusk to dawn, the building is lit by floodlights in the colors blue, white and red, (an inversion of the red, white, and blue seen on the Empire State Building during some American holidays). Due to its great height, the Rotterdam Tower can be seen from nearly all parts of the city. It's an amazing clear view if seen from the city. Likewise, the entire expanse of Liberty City and Alderney (in other words the entire game "sandbox" region) can be seen from the top of the spire on a clear day.

Due to its importance in the city and America, the tower is guarded by police officers with [[Carbine Rifle]]s stationed at the entrance of the building.
