The Race in building Philippines' First Iconic Supertall Building

[@CurryFishead]

PH dont need high or super tall buildings. Filipinos need world class roads and transport system.

[@s.t.santos5928]

I agree. Plus, I'd rather see the Philippines as greener, cleaner, and more orderly. There's no point having supertall buildings when there are still squatters living in squalor in other parts of the city. It's just a "yabang" point that we should and could not afford - yet.

[@moymoythehappymonkey3155]

A super tall building with a small building foot print is more environmentally friendly than a 3 to 4 story building with a very huge building foot print. Look at HongKong, they manage to maintain and preserve 70 percent of their forest since their own government limits the urban development to a maximum of only 30 percent of the total area of HongKong.

[@s.t.santos5928]

@@moymoythehappymonkey3155 That's true BUT the Philippine land situation is hardly comparable to Hongkong's. At any rate, that's what has been done at BGC and other business centers but would hardly apply to most parts of the Philippines.

I am glad that none of those proposed towers were built. From a design perspective, they maybe iconic but downright ugly except for the proposed Icone Tower. I could see these structure built in North Korea for example but not in Metro Manila. Stunning and iconic skyscrapers are those found in Dubai, Doha, New York, London, and Hongkong.

[@s.t.santos5928]

True. "Iconic" doesn't necessarily have to be super tall. It's more like a really unique design that sets it apart from the rest. It becomes the identity of a place, country, or city. A great example would be the Pyramid at the Louvre Museum in Paris, designed by I.M.Pei.

[@MN12warbird]

They're found in Chicago where the first one was made. The phillipines doesn't need a megatall tower. Its showcase is the natural beauty of how it exists the mountains, jungles and beaches, and the beauty of the people of the phillipines. Most of the mountains are taller than 1000ft anyways. Is it really neccessary ... Chicago is still an influential world city, and does not have a megatall. Focus the rest of the building initiatives on finishing up or completing the rest of the country's interconnecting infrastructure. Building only one building for the sake of only rich ppl who will use it because they will be the only ones such a building would serve, is not a smart or senseful idea. Create the infrastructure neccessary to handle the traffic. If phillipines wants to continue to improve by utilizing western techniques it needs to create the infrastructure neccessary to cut down on traffic and tagal or wasted time. Gotta not only build, but hustle behind it too. People visit the phillipines for a vacation on the beach or hiking the mountains for a view because its cheap. Not because they want to stand in line for an hour to go take a couple pics with the dusit thani sign behind them lol. Travelers, if you want a tall view, go to people's park in the sky in tagaytay city. Its an observation post ontop of a mountain. You can see the taal volcano rising from the water in the distance, surrounded by beaches islands mountains and jungle. Very unique landscape only found in a few places, but the phillipines does it best. And its affordable

But, the author did not mentioned that there is a height restriction of only 250meters for a high-rise to be built in Metro Manila. That is why no proposed towers higher than 250m were ever materialized (250m up to the roof) Grand Hyatt is 250m up to the roof and 30m spire. Other example is Trump tower was supposed to be 280m pero ayun, kapantay lang ng gramercy. The Park central was proposed to be 270m pero nag top off na mas mataas pa ang Discovery Primea. Let us see with the Estate Makati kung matutupad ang pangakong 280m nito.
