The tower's height is planned to be at 612.0 m (2,008 ft), to signify the country's Independence Day which is celebrated annually on June 12. It is set to be completed in 3 years and will be open to the public by 2017 - 2018. Philippine Diamond Tower is planned to be a major landmark not only of Manila, but the entire Philippines. A city ordinance is planned to be enacted to support the development of the tower.
In February 2016, the Japanese government is reportedly interested to invest in the project through The Corporation for the Overseas Development of Japan’s ICT and Postal Services with a local subsidiary. China is also reportedly interested in the project and is likely to bid. The tower is expected to cost around ₱41.4 billion and is scheduled to be completed by 2019.
