Located in southern Washington Beach, is GTA Vice City rendition of the building is wedged right up to Washington Mall, and is located directly across the road from 1102 Washington Street. The building also holds the office of attorney Ken Rosenberg, the namesake of the law firm K. Rosenberg & Co., in GTA Vice City; the player—incarnated as the protagonist, Tommy Vercetti, starts out in the game at an alleyway next to the building, and makes numerous visits to the building solely to meet his associate Rosenberg. A Faggio is constantly parked in the alleyway in GTA Vice City, and a random car also spawns on the west side of the building.
