The Triangle: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:41, 16 September 2009

The Triangle is a six-block neighborhood in central Algonquin, named after the Triangle Building, which located in the district. The Triangle is located south of Star Junction, Suffolk and Lower Easton are to the south, The Meat Quarter is to the west, and Easton is on the neighbourhood's eastern border.

Character

The Triangle's cityscape is no different to that of neighboring Star Junction's, as the area is populated by massive skyscrapers, new and old. In fact, the northern edge of The Triangle forms part of the Star Junction intersection area. The Triangle is also the location of the Rotterdam Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the whole of the in-game world.

Influence

Based on the presence of the Triangle Building, one of the area's sources of inspiration may be the Flatiron District in Manhattan, New York City. Its overlap with Star Junction also results in buildings based on those from Times Square being included into the area. Rotterdam Tower, which real-life counterpart is situated within an unspecified part of Midtown Manhattan between Times Square to the north and the Flatiron District to the south, is also included in the district.

The neighborhood is likely to be named after the Triangle Building in a similar fashion as the Flatiron District and the Flatiron Building, which the Triangle Building bases itself off.

Points of interest

The Triangle Building, based on the Flatiron Building. Contrary to the real-life rendition, the Triangle Building points south, when the Flatiron Building points north.
The Rotterdam Tower, the tallest building in Liberty City, based on the Empire State Building
A play of the Hearst Tower. The location of the in-game rendition is somewhat incorrect in comparison to its real-life counterpart in New York City, as it is located further south in-game.
The Daily Globe Building, based on 5 Times Square and modified with additionally radical profiles. The building also houses a modern entrance to the Easton LTA.
United Liberty Paper.
