Downtown (community name)

Glass towers and elevated highways

Downtown is the community name for the glass towers and elevated highways at the centre of Vice City's skyline, seen from the air in Trailer 2 and across the water in the official screenshots. The comparison fans make is Miami's Brickell. Community

What the footage shows

Towers along the water, a bridge and elevated highway network, a marina at the foot of the skyline and the Sahara Arena (community name) beside a Ferris wheel. Rockstar's Rob Nelson told Edge that Vice City's roads are deliberately narrower than Los Santos's. Confirmed

Questions

Is downtown Vice City based on Brickell?

That is the fan comparison, based on the glass towers on the water. Rockstar has not named the district.
