MIAMI

MIAMI LUCIA'S APARTMENT IN REAL LIFE 🤯 A GTA 6 FAN FOUND LUCIA'S APARTMENT IN REAL LIFE MIAMI THNX TO THIS GUY BUT DURING HIS SEARCH, SOMETHING REALLY WEIRD CAME UP. SO AN INSTAGRAM USER CALLED "AARON" WAS TRYING TO FIND THE REAL LIFE LOCATION OF LUCIA'S APARTMENT FROM THE TRAILER. HE STARTED MATCHING THAT BLUE BUILDING WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE STREET, BUT WHEN HE LOOKED AT APPLE MAPS, LUCIA'S APARTMENT BLOCK WASN'T THERE. SO HE SCRUBBED HISTORICAL STREET VIEW ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2013. KNOWING THAT, ROCKSTAR BEGAN EARLY PRE PRODUCTION AND LOCATION SCOUTING FOR GTA 6 AROUND THAT YEAR. AND BOOM, THERE IT WAS. THE EXACT ORANGE APARTMENT BUILDING FROM THE TRAILER, STANDING RIGHT WHERE ROCKSTAR SCOUTED IT OVER A DECADE AGO. HE EVEN TRACKED DOWN OLD REAL ESTATE LISTINGS TO CHECK THE INTERIOR PHOTOS. THE ROOM LAYOUTS, WINDOWS, AND LIGHT FIXTURES WERE A DIRECT 1: 1 MATCH. BUT HERE'S THE CRAZY PART. THE BUILDING WAS BOUGHT OUT IN 2022 AND COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED. OWNERS TORE IT DOWN TO BUILD A 55 STORY LUXURY SKYSCRAPER, BUT THAT PROJECT GOT STALLED, MEANING THE REAL LIFE LOCATION IS JUST AN EMPTY LOT TODAY. SO WHILE MIAMI ERASED THE ROCKSTAR SCOUTED VICE CITY SO EARLY THAT GTA 6 IS ACTUALLY PRESERVING LOST MIAMI HISTORY.
