Hatton Gardens is a five-block neighbourhood in eastern Algonquin, Liberty City. The neighborhood is located along the Humboldt River to the east, bordering Middle Park East to the north by Nickel Street, Lancet to the south by Lorimar Street, and Star Junction to the west by Columbus Avenue. As is with midtown Algonquin neighbourhoods to the east, Hatton Gardens contains several high-rise apartments and commercial buildings. The area does not strictly draw inspiration from one district, but features several landmarks based on real-life counterparts roughly located in the same part of Midtown Manhattan (predominantly in the Turtle Bay area). The district is described as a "fashionable" shopping district,[1] although the player has little available interaction to the area.
Places of interest
- The Civilization Committee complex, located at Albany Avenue, evidently based on the United Nations Headquarters in Tudor City.
- Prosperous Towers, apartments across Albany Avenue from the CC complex (technically located in neighboring Lancet), based on co-op residential towers at Tudor City Place and referencing the proximity of the aforementioned Tudor City apartments with the UN Headquarters in New York City.
- Panoramic offices at Bismarck Avenue, housed in a two modern towers.
- Columbus Cathedral, based on St. Patrick's Cathedral and occupying a block at Lorimar Street. Like its real-life inspiration, a building complex mimicking the Rockefeller Center is located to the west across Columbus Avenue from the church grounds. The church, however, is aligned facing south, away from the complex.
- The Cleethropes Tower at Manganese Street and Columbus Avenue, based on the Trump Tower. The tower is claimed to be built by Lyle Cleethropes the 5th as a show of wealth.[1]
- Jerkov's Cossieur's Bar at Albany Avenue and Maganese Street, an upscale bar which Niko Bellic can bring his friends or girlfriends to.
Transport
Hattons Garden is primarily served by one station, Manganese East on the A/J Algonquin Outer Line, with entrances off Manganese Street and Albany Avenue outside the Civilization Committee complex. Although not within the neighborhood, East Park station is the nearest station to Hatton Gardens that provides access to the K/C Algonquin Inner Line.
