Being situated within [[Algonquin Triads|Triad]] territory, the building is also owned by the Triads, and was intended to be used to house a Triad club, which had only begun to be set up in 2008.


Being situated within [[Algonquin Triads|Triad]] territory, the building is also owned by the Triads, and was intended to be used to house a Triad club, which had only begun to be set up in 2008. However, the [[Triad Boss]] is having difficulty acquiring a liquor license, there for [[Rocco Pelosi]] insists that [[Gay Tony]] and [[Luis Lopez]] can grant him this. Although when it turns out Gay Tony and Luis can't afford to, the Triads attack, the two shoot their way out and escape.
The building is originally devoid of any interiors in GTA IV, but was modified as new episodic titles for GTA IV were released. In [[The Lost and Damned]], one interior possibly illustrating the Triad's unfinished club area was added for use in a cinematic sequence of "[[This Shit's Cursed]]", but is not accessible in gameplay. In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the extent of the building's interior is drastically expanded, encompassing four floors (the first floor is a cramped mall occupied by shops and [[Vending Machines|vending machines]]; the second floor is occupied by an office; the third and fourth floors are being renovated, with the unfinished Triad club on the fourth floor); the player can access the building's interior at any time of the game via the Albany Avenue side.
