The Triangle

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.
