The Gateway Tower is a structural steel-framed building. These photos taken weeks ago showing this building currently installation of its structural steel columns reached 18th floor and floor slab construction on its 15th level.

To date, construction of steel columns reached 21st level.

This building is part of the on-going Araneta Redevelopment. And some earlier details were posted on the Araneta Redevelopment Plan thread.

tallest steel building in the philippines?

yikes taas na pala nito! the last time i was in cubao area, hukay pa lang 'to :D

I remember creating a thread for this ages ago, what happened to that, by the way?

Anyway, good thing naitayo na rin, akala ko mananatili na lang itong hukay a la Skycity.

Wow naman, steel kung steel ang labanan pero kumusta naman ang hollow blocks?!? :nuts:
Uso na kaya ang pre-fab para mas fab ang construction :D, diba @anakngpasig construction-worker ^^ na nasa taas ko lang ang post? :lol:

grabe ang lalaki ng mga bakal, kalawangin lang ang hitsura, mabilis rin ang pag gawa nila, parang world trade center sa new york

At 124.35m, not as the tallest steel building in the philippines, yung rufino tower pa rin ang tallest all-steel building in the philippines.

Yes mabilis ito, sa ngayon three levels are added already in 2 weeks time.

Mas okay nga sana pag pre-fab ang walls at para mas makinis ang finish nito.

Unfortunately, steel framed buildings tend to be like that when it comes to the rust. Gateway Tower's steel frames look actually clean and brand new, most other steel framed buildings underconstruction, including the Freedom Tower, already have rusty girders.

I would rather prefer reinforced concrete since they tend to last longer (as mentioned in the History Channel series, "Life After People") as they tend to resist corrosion and wear. I'm glad they are coverring the columns with concrete, I hope they do so with the steel beams as well. I hope they don't use cheap spray on fireproofing (like in the original WTC, as well as the Robinsons malls) and instead use ones that are much much more...tougher....

Thanks for that buddy.

Yes better if it's concrete since it will have natural concrete cover to protect steel reinforcements against deterioration when exposed to rain and fire. When I visited the site I still found no fire protection applied/sprayed on those structural steel members, just the installed concrete cladding on those columns on lower floors. The advantage of steel building is the speed in construction and with the use of steel decking, building is lighter but sometimes requires bracing to increase rigidity. And it is easier to demolish and the building will have higher salvage value.

They used red oxide or red lead primer on those steel members, gray color primer is better since it is easier to find where corrosion is occuring. Some construction used that primer.

I wonder how much an office unit here will cost, the area is very accessible using Major Transportation mediums so employees will have no problem reporting to work

anong street? sa new york? cubao ba? hehehe

^^ Gateway Tower is located beside Gateway Mall facin Manhattan Garden City

Not sure when this photo was taken but its an update I suppose.

Wala pa rin, konti na nga lang pero parang bumagal ang delivery ng mga structural steel nito.

Ok, now I'm scared....what could possibly be causing the delay? Did Araneta miss a payment?

baka sa customs, villar kasi ang mga araneta, pwera sa nanay ni mar roxas na sa liberal party

Wow. Kakaiba yung pag construct nito. Steel beam halos...:banana::banana:

or the manny villar? if that i don't think so..:ohno:

Ugh! Does anybody not have any updates on this very important building? At the very least confirm if its really been topped off as its been months already since we've had a visual update...

An update, taken about 3 weeks ago. And by now, installation of some topmost structural steel beams are already completed.

Yes, some structural steel component reached the top. I'll take some photos within this week.

^^ Whoo hoo! Thanks so much for the updates, AYS! Much appreciated. :)

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! Its so cool!! Granted, its not Zuellig, GT International, LKG, Alphaland or One Corporate. But for what it is in the Araneta Centre, it makes quite a big positive impact! :okay:
