How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The real place

According to the fan wiki, the Diamond Building is modelled on the HSBC Main Building, designed by Norman Foster and completed in 1985. Its steel frame hangs the floors from giant trusses, which leaves an open public plaza at street level.

Visiting

Walk through the plaza under the building and look up through the glass belly into the atrium. The two bronze lions at the entrance are a popular good-luck touch.
