The '''Maze Bank Tower''' is a skyscraper in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]'', located in [[Pillbox Hill]], [[Los Santos (HD Universe)|Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas (HD Universe)|San Andreas]].
==Description==
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 (HD Universe)|State of San Andreas]] and one of the most recognizable buildings in [[Los Santos (HD Universe)|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 Headquarters|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.<ref>'''Ymap''':<br><pre>WORLD_VEHICLE_DRIVE_SOLO: BUSINESS_DLC_SPORTS_MODDED_1: 14:00 - 24:00

Large trucks such as [[Mule]]s 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]].
