GTA 5 Landmarks and Other Buildings
Last Edited by TreeFitty December 24, 2016 : 170 Comments : 706,530 Views
As you may have seen in the Grand Theft Auto V trailer or in our GTA V trailer breakdown, there are many real buildings from Los Angeles in the game - similar to New York City with Grand Theft Auto IV. Here's a more organized listing of the landmarks as well as other lesser-known buildings and structures featured in Los Santos and its surrounding areas.
Note: Not all are exact and Rockstar has taken liberties with many of them. A few appear to be mixes of two or more buildings. The buildings in the game were matched up with their closest real life counterpart. All photos found via Google with lesser quality used. Some landmarks are subject to change as we find better matches.

- Doodlebug (Guest) April 14, 2015This has been racking my brain every time I see it: There is a multi-level parking structure with numerous colored (neon) lights on it depicted in the game. What actual building is the inspiration for this and where is it located?
