The North Point Mall is a two storey mall with a H-shape floorplan. It is arguably one of the largest enclosed malls in the GTA series, featuring a massive atrium bisected by a central pedestrian bridge, and a large number of businesses primarily based on the edges of the floorspace; the mall also comes equipped with escalators, as well as access to an adjoining multistorey car park and six street level entrances. | The North Point Mall is a two storey mall with a H-shape floorplan.

In GTA Vice City Stories, the aesthetics of the Vice Point Mall circa [[1984]], two years before events in GTA Vice City, is significantly different but more detailed. Aside the inclusion of different tenants and deeper store interiors, the second floor of the mall's atrium is lined with yellow lampposts, and the central space features hung models of a moon landing probe (similar to the one seen at an Interglobal Films soundstage in GTA Vice City) and a World War II-era fighter plane. | |||
