The Governor Greg Johnson Projects are a Liberty City Housing Authority residential complex in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in Northwood, Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description[]
The complex is bounded to the south Wardite Street and encircled by Vespucci Circus. It consists of three 22-story apartment buildings, complete with a children's playground. The player can access the ground floor of the northern tower and walk up the entire flight of stairs up to the rooftop, and even access Dwayne Forge's and Jimmy Kand's apartments located on the second floor. Only the ground floor of the other two towers can be accessed.
In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the complex is a drop-off point for Armando and Henrique after activities and during the mission I Luv LC.
Influence[]
Governor Greg Johnson Projects are mostly based on Polo Grounds Towers located at 2931 Frederick Douglass Boulevard in New York.
Dwayne Forge's Apartment[]
Dwayne Forge's apartment is located on the second floor of the northern tower. It is accessible to the player at all times. It consists of a corridor which distributes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. The dwelling is extremely squalid; the wallpaper is peeling off, graffiti is strewn across the walls, and the furnishings are dilapidated. Blood stains can even be found on the bedding. The extreme filth and neglect of Dwayne Forge's apartment is evident testimony of very poor lifestyle habits.
The radio station playing inside the apartment is The Vibe 98.8 in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Beat 102.7 in Episodes from Liberty City.
Jimmy Kand's Apartment[]
The apartment is owned by Skinheads member Jimmy Kand, which he shares with some of his men. It is situated on the same floor as Dwayne Forge's Apartment. It is accessible to the player at all times. The apartment is in a squalid condition and lacks privacy, considering that most of the partition walls are battered. Several packets of Cumshot Noodles, a can of Bitch'n' Dog Food and menthol Cok can be seen scattered around the apartment. One of the bedrooms also has live cockroaches crawling around.
Crime[]
The housing complex seems to suffer a high crime rate, being a hot-spot for the North Holland Hustlers and the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers.
