Location

The building is located at the corner of Gil Puyat Avenue and Chino Roces Avenue in Makati, the tower is situated near the entrance of the Makati Central Business District. It is a few blocks walk away from most of Makati's other major office and residential buildings.

The 37-storey building consists of an 8-floor Podium with basement, and a 29-storey Office Tower. It has a 3-street frontage (Gil Puyat Avenue, Chino Roces Ave. and Urban Avenue) and was designed to ensure unobstructed panoramic view of the metropolis from all sides, with Makati’s skyline towards the east, and Manila Bay towards the west.

The building also has 7 parking floors for a total of 511 parking slots, or 1 parking space for every 80sqm of office space. 12 high-speed elevators are installed to ensure swift access to all levels.

Each floor has two pressurized fire escape stairways with widths of 1.35 meters, higher than the standard 1.20 meters of comparable structures. Every floor is also equipped with a smoke exhaust louver system which automatically activates in case of fire. Also, the building is also crowned with a helipad.
