'''Colony Island''' is an island in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. The island is officially part of the borough of [[Algonquin]] and is situated between [[Algonquin|Algonquin Isle]] and [[Broker]]. It is accessible via [[Leaper's Bridge]] and [[Sky Tram]]. Unlike [[Charge Island]] to the north, Colony Island has a residential area and access to public transport, presumably due to its proximity and direct connection with Algonquin. | '''Colony Island''' is an island in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

The [[Algonquin Bridge]] passes over the northern portion of the island, serving as an unofficial demarcation between the residential project to the south, and the cemetery at the northern end. A large industrial park spans almost the entire eastern perimeter of the island, and a waterfront promenade runs along the western face, offering great views of the Algonquin skyline to the west. The southern end of the island is taken up by an abandoned hospital, featured in the mission [[The Snow Storm]]. A lighthouse is also situated on the northern tip of the island, accessible through the cemetery. | The [[Algonquin Bridge]] passes over the northern portion of the island, serving as an unofficial demarcation between the residential project to the south, and the cemetery at the northern end featured in [[Undertaker]] depending on player choice.

Colony Island is analogous to New York City's [[wp:Roosevelt Island|Roosevelt Island]]. Both islands are located in the center of a major river separating two boroughs of the city; the [[Algonquin Bridge]], like the [[wp:Queensboro Bridge|Queensboro Bridge]], passes over the island, and Colony Island's abandoned hospital is akin to the abandoned Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island. | Colony Island is analogous to New York City's [[wp:Roosevelt Island|Roosevelt Island]].
