In 1986 he is financing the construction of a building in Vice Point and is one of Vice City's social elite, attending Colonel Juan Cortez' party. Carrington, however, faces problems from the Spand Express company, who refuse to sell their land, and another further advanced construction site opposite his own. Ken Rosenberg, a lawyer introduces Carrington to Tommy Vercetti, who helps to Spand Express by causing a riot and destroying three Spand Express vans. Carrington, impressed with Vercetti's ability, later hires him to murder a man who refuses to sell some land to Carrington and to structurally weaken the construction site located opposite his own. Carrington continues with his business before asking Vercetti for help again, this time having him [[Two Bit Hit|create a gang war between the Cubans and the Haitians in order to drive down property prices]], and later gives Vercetti advice in how to build his criminal empire in the city following the death of drug baron Ricardo Diaz.
