| QUOTE (StellarFish20 @ Saturday, May 5 2012, 22:17) | Hi guys, I haven't really been following this particular thread, but It seems like this building (In red), hasn't been identified. Whether that's because it doesn't exist in real life and it's just in game? I don't know. Can't someone give me a answer?

That's the Mile High Club Building seen throughout the trailer. It's a building under construction. Some say it is based on the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Tower which was in construction around 2008-2010 . The location compared to real life LA kinda fit. Others say it is based on the upcoming Los Angeles Tower, due to be completed in 2015/2016, which will also be located in that area.  But IMO, it doesn't really have a real life counterpart.  |

It does match the way the Ritz-Carlton looked when it was under construction back in 2008.   |

Someone said a quite a while ago that the building on the left is the LAUSD HQ and the comparison is much better I would say. California Plaza 1 seems to be the building on the far right. And the building Identified as California plaza in the picture is 611 Place, right? Don't know if this is entirely consistent with the other angles. |
Thanks man.
I can't say I disagree with you here.
The building on the left clearly looks like the LAUSD HQ, no doubt about it.
And it's also true that the building behind it is similar to 611 Place.
But... (there's a but)  this doesn't seem to be consistent with other angles like you said.
Have a look at these pics :
These buildings (611 Place and LAUSD HQ) are nowhere to be found on both screenshots.
The twin towers must be California Plaza as there are no other twins in real LA.
And about that building to the far right on your screenshot, I believe it is the Mellon Bank Center. The sahpe looks kinda similar.
I'm not saying I'm 100% correct but based on other shots from the trailer, California Plaza and Wedbush are the most likely candidates for now.
Now, like I said earlier, it is completely possible that the map has changed over time and that the trailer is made of earlier and updated earlier versions of the map.
Maybe they changed some buildings here and there.
We need that second trailer so badly  |
The twin towers is the City National Bank Plaza, even the antenna matches  I've lived in LA long enough to know that
