The Rotterdam Tower is a skyscraper on the island of Algonquin based off of Manhattan's Empire State Building. It stands as the highest building in Liberty City.
Appearence
The Rotterdam Tower is an Art-Deco skyscraper located in the south of Algonquin. It consists of 102 floors, the 82nd exterior observatory deck being the only one accessible in-game. This is done by entering the building via a door on the eastern face of the building at ground level. At night, the building is lit up by floodlights in the colours Blue, White and Red. Due to it's enormity and height, the Rotterdam Tower can be seen from near all parts of the city.
