The Franklin Street Apartment Building is an apartment building in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City, located in Leftwood, Alderney. Gracie Ancelotti is held hostage on the second floor of the building in the mission Ransom.
Description[]
The building can be accessed via the main entrance on Franklin Street and via a back door at the rear car park. A staircase leads to an accessible flat roof. The building can be accessed by the player at all times, though the apartment where Ransom takes place can only be accessed during the mission.
The building is an identical copy of its neighbor. The same pair of buildings can be found on Manzano Road and on Sacramento Avenue, though in the latter case the building is part of a set of three.
Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In the mission Ransom, Niko Bellic receives a call from Patrick McReary asking him to take a photo of Gracie Ancelotti, held hostage in the building in question. Niko arrives at the building and enters the dilapidated flat where he finds her gagged and tied up to a chair while being supervised by Gordon Sargent. This is the only instance in the game where the flat is accessible by the player.
