Bearing several minor similarities with the real-life [[wp:Empire State Building|Empire State Building]] in [[wp:New York City|New York City]], it is the second tallest structure in Liberty City, with a height of 391 m (1,282.8 ft), and is a prominent feature of Staunton's skyline. The building's position as the second tallest in the city may be a reflection of the Empire State Building being the second tallest building in New York City circa 2001 behind the World Trade Center prior to the September 11 attacks. | |||
Unlike the Empire State Building, the GTA equivalent is only similar in design by its tapering profile, but otherwise features a completely different facade design and appears much thinner, like an [[wp:obelisk|obelisk]]; the only hint of the building's Art Deco styling (a feature very prominent on the Empire State Building), is only vague present on the street level entrance of the building. | Unlike the Empire State Building, the GTA equivalent is only similar in design by its tapering profile, but otherwise features a completely different facade design and appears much thinner, like an [[wp:obelisk|obelisk]]; the only hint of the building's Art Deco styling (a feature very prominent on the Empire State Building), is only vague present on the street level entrance of the building. | ||
