Vercetti Estate is eventually featured prominently during the final mission of the game ' Keep Your Friends Close', when a gunfight in the mansion ultimately leads to Lance's and Sonny Forelli's deaths. After Diaz' death, the mansion serves as a staging area for Tommy to tighten his grip on the city's businesses, eventually leading to the property earning the player $5,000 a day.
Tommy promptly renames it the 'Vercetti Estate', and Diaz' Gang ceases to exist as the mansion grounds is henceforth occupied by the Vercetti gang. Over the course of the storyline, Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance eventually launch an attack against Diaz at the mansion, killing Diaz and claiming the mansion as his own. In GTA Vice City, the mansion starts of as Ricardo Diaz's place of residence as a result, the estate is known under Diaz' name and is considered Diaz' Gang territory, the only place where the gang may be seen. The compound is also equipped with a private dock to the south, as well as a helipad on the mansion's roof. Basically, the property consists of a large red and pink mansion surrounded by well cut lawns, pools, lavish terraces, and a low wall.
