That floating overhang makes the building interesting.

^^Nice! I'd prefer that they maintain the height of those short buildings that serve as "boundary" between the high-density buildings and the low-density area (subdivision houses). Maybe a little refurbishing is needed for those short buildings but other than that, they look fine as they are. Or if in the future a new development will replace one of them, it should not be taller than 10 storeys or something like that :)

I think we'll see those Jupiter Street buildings refurbished, or blown away to make way for newer, taller buildings. Gil Puyat now no longer serves as a boundary between low-rise and high-rise, with the construction of that massive complex in the old international school lot. The Columns were also catalysts in breaking down that boundary, so to speak

the crown atop symolized triumphant and look industrialized

Lagi kong nadaraanan iyang building na iyan kapag galing akong Mapua Makati. Maganda naman ang building. Glass kasi ang feature niya sa labas.

cool photos as usual Shyaman. do you have dusk and night versions of those photos?

that stretch was rezoned to make it possible for hirise towers to be built.

7.5/10

The spire ruined it because the building is very cute imho.

8.5/10 maganda rin kasi glassy sya

I used to go there in Petron office

Same opinion here.7.5/10 for me.

voted 7.5 I like this building, who says that oil companies don't make enough money here's a proof of it.

This building always remind me of the Shinra HQ in Final Fantasy VII.

9/10 :okay:
