Few buildings are so recognizable at first glance Grand Theft Auto V. as Maze Bank Tower, owned by the bank of the same name. Maze Bank plays a huge role in the GTA Online player’s experience as it is the location of some missions, a robbery and an office for sale. Most importantly, while believed to be often a victim of player robberies, Maze Bank manages every player’s finances in GTA Online, with the millions of cash from robberies and races instantly deposited into Maze accounts across Los Santos. With Maze managing so much money, it’s easy to see why their headquarters are the tallest and most expensive building in Los Santos. But how much would the Maze Bank Tower cost in real life?

Finding the price tag on the Maze Bank Tower is a simple process. By comparing the cost of building similar skyscrapers and Los Angeles property prices (the real Los Santos), a reasonable estimate of the true price of the Maze Bank Tower can be found. If you consider the various factors that determine the price of the Maze Bank Tower, one thing is certain: this opulent skyscraper is not cheap.
Maze Bank headquarters occupies an entire block in Pillbox Hill, the largest neighborhood in Los Santos and the city’s commercial and financial hub. It serves as the office building for the Maze Bank company with 96 floors of office space that is either used by the company or sold to others. The tower is the tallest building in the state of San Andreas, with the description of the distant GTA Online parachute flight mission “Figure Of Eight,” which describes the height of the office building at 1,050 ft, which would have made it a great place for a parachute race in GTA On-line.
How much is GTA 5’s Maze Bank Tower worth in US dollars?
The Maze Bank Tower can be compared to similar skyscrapers, particularly the US Bank Tower in Los Angeles on which it is based. Known locally as the Liberty Tower, the Los Angeles office building is a little behind its Grand Theft Auto counterpart with just 73 floors and 1,013 square meters. The Liberty Tower cost $ 350 million to build and was recently put up for sale for $ 430 million, a price that the owners claim is generous (according to the Los Angeles Business Journal). With that alone, the price of the Maze Bank Tower can easily be estimated at $ 350 million to $ 430 million.
Another important factor in determining the price of a tower is the cost of a single office. In GTA Online, players can purchase an office in the Maze Bank Tower as part of the “More Adventures in Finance and Crime” update. The cost of an office on the Dynasty 8 Executive website is $ 4,000,000, rivaling some of the most expensive GTA Online purchases. While individual offices are almost certainly inflated when compared to buying the entire building, it can be assumed that the price of each individual office will be included in the total price of the tower. Although the Maze Bank Tower does not have a confirmed number of offices per floor, by comparing the layout of the offices with the exterior of the building, one can estimate that each floor has between 2-10 offices. On the lower end of that spectrum, the Maze Bank Tower is priced at $ 736 million.
Looking at real estate and car prices in GTA Online, $ 736 million isn’t so absurd for the tallest skyscraper in the state and the headquarters of such a prominent bank. With the wealth of some GTA Online players, purchasing this opulent tower would be no problem if given the option. With GTA 6 reportedly in production, Rockstar may be giving players the option to purchase their own skyscrapers, an option that is included in some similar games in the genre – but not in Maze Bank Tower Grand Theft Auto 5.
