The real place
The U.S. Bank Tower was the tallest building in Los Angeles until 2017. Its stepped cylindrical shape and glass crown are copied closely in the game.
Visiting
The Bunker Hill Steps beside the tower give a good look up at it. Check before you go whether any public observation deck is open.
