Maze Bank Tower
The skyscraper and its adjoining plaza and gardens occupy an entire block in Pillbox Hill, demarcated by San Andreas Avenue, Vespucci Boulevard, Alta Street and Power Street. It is the tallest building in the State of San Andreas and one of the most recognizable buildings in Los Santos.
It is the main headquarters for Maze Bank, featuring large Maze Bank signage at the top of the building, which light up at night. At the base of the building, parking garage access is present on the south and east sides of the plaza base, while delivery entrances are found on the north and west sides, but none offer any access underground. The plaza itself can be accessed from stairs at the south-west corner, decorated with fountains and trees. The plaza is made up of a complex of gardens, fountains and steps which circle the building. It can also be accessed from the upper ramps of San Andreas Avenue which elevates to the building’s main entrance, equipped with parking ramps leading to a garage door, but are only functional in GTA Online. A foot-bridge connects the plaza to the neighboring Schlongberg Sachs building. Maze Bank brick sculptures are positioned at the north-east corner as well as the south-east stairway entrance. The maze-themed graphics are dotted around the exterior, too. On top of the building is a helipad. Roof access is present but only accessible during certain missions and fully usable in the enhanced version of GTA Online as an Office.
According to the description of the deleted parachute jump «Figure of Eight» in Grand Theft Auto Online, the top of Maze Bank Tower is at an altitude of 1,050 ft, making it almost half the total height of Mount Chiliad. In Jock Cranley’s campaign video, it is claimed that the tower was built «prior to 1985».
The Maze Bank Tower may be considered the HD Universe counterpart of the similar-looking unnamed Los Santos Tower from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Despite being a relatively prominent building among the Los Santos skyline, it makes few appearances compared to that of the Union Depository to the north and the IAA and FIB Headquarters to the east.
Between 14:00 pm and 00:00 am, a modified Jester, Massacro, Turismo R or Zentorno may be seen driving out of the south parking entrance onto Vespucci Boulevard in the enhanced version of the game. [1] A random car may also be seen driving out of the same spot between 07:00 am and 11:00 am in all versions of the game. [2] Between 13:00 pm and 18:00 pm, a Stockade may be seen driving out of the west parking entrance onto Alta Street, [3] and between 05:00 am and 13:00 pm, a Stockade may be seen driving out of the north side delivery entrances onto San Andreas Avenue. [4] Between 07:00 am and 15:00 pm, a random car may be seen pulling up into a parking space on the west side of the building. [5] Between 07:00 am and 11:00 am, a Taxi may be seen driving out of the lay-by main entrance at the north side of the building. [6] Throughout various hours of the day, pedestrians can be seen hanging out around the entrances to the building. Between 10:00 am and 20:00 pm, a Frogger may be seen flying around Pillbox Hill and sometimes taking off from the rooftop helipad. [7]
Large trucks such as Mules can sometimes be found parked outside the west delivery entrance or the south side of the complex, and various random cars spawn parked in the parking area on the west side along Alta Street.

According to the description of the event «Figure of Eight» in GTA Online, Maze Bank Tower stands 1,050 feet (320 meters) tall, this is actually 32 feet (10 meters) taller than its real-life counterpart, but the building has only 72 stories, which is one story less than the U.S. Bank Tower.
Maze Tower is the tallest building in the State of San Andreas among the completed buildings (A nearby unfinished building called Mile High Club would be much higher than it once completed), and the second tallest building in the entire GTA series, only after the Rotterdam Tower in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV.
