How to Unlock HQ Helipad in Saint Row

Your HQ will receive a fancy new helipad to store towards mid-late game depending on when you tackle the loyalty missions of your crew, specifically Neenah’s missions. Finishing the Neenah’s Car mission will unlock The Forge, and completing that mission will unlock the helipad.

It is located outside to the right of your garage at your home base. It only contains a Thompson helicopter at first, but you can earn other vehicles in later missions.
