GTA 5 Landmarks and Other Buildings

Last Edited by TreeFitty December 24, 2016 : 170 Comments : 707,520 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.

    I believe the one you are talking about it based on the Santa Monica Civic Center.
  • Doodlebug (Guest) April 14, 2015
    This 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?
  • Bill (Guest) February 14, 2015

  • John (Guest) February 20, 2014
    The Watts Towers (real life Los Angeles), called the Jefferson Towers in GTA V. Also the Playboy Mansion (real life Los Angeles), but I'm not sure that it is called in the game.
  • Andy (Guest) November 25, 2013
    The celebrity Scientology center is in the game.
