this is my favorite building in the phils... saw it first time back in college... didnt know that I'll be assigned here for my first job! hehehe

It's the one with the black marble interiors, right?

i think this is the one of the less popular buildings in Manila which is a shame... it really looks sleek and modern. This building is a gem... wouldve been great if this was in makati... hmm... prolly 180 meters?

wow, Fhoy's photo is incredible. We rarely get shots of Orient Square like that. This tower is among my favorites in Ortigas:)

Fhoy is Cokelitr0 right? Kudos to you Fhoy for such an awesome photo! :cool:

^^Yes, that's him:)

took that photo from Discovery Centre habang umiihi sa rest room :lol:

this is taller than Malayan Plaza (145 meters) but shorter than Discovery (171 meters). so this sould be around 160 meters.

^ Did you take photos of Wynsum Corporate Plaza too? (the building right next to it with the NY Life sign) We need a thread for it.

^^ i think so! let me check my photobucket ;) posted it at the Proposal thread :)

which is taller Wynsum or Orient?

Nice to see from the outside but an insider is claiming that this tower is not reallt structurally sound.

the seemingly seamless glass cladding make this building extremely pleasing to the eyes..

Jaw-dropper! :eek2:

I just found that our very own Orient Square is a (shorter) rip-off of Williams Tower (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=williamstower-houston-tx-usa) in Houston. tsk.

^^ So that's the mysterious avatar of an American forumer that I thought was our own Orient Square.

^yup, i saw that too..jmancuso right?

Isn't there a patent/copyright for building designs? :lol:

^yup, i saw that too..jmancuso right?

Yeah. Too bad I really thought it was Orient Square. Akala ko tuloy may fan na yung bldg natin sa ibang bansa.

yikes...i did not know that. It cant be the same architectural firm recycling its design, can it?

wow it does look like it... from top to bottom... how tall is that?

hala! kopyang kopya!!!! shock naman ako! :lol: :)

is this near megamall and podium?
how much for flat here?

^^ It's near the area of Megamall and Podium but it's still around a 10-15 minute walk to the mall. But I think Orient Square is an office tower.

thank you, ventro.

OMG! Ngayon ko lang to nakita! I just looked at the photo and I thought Orient Square became taller by the minute! I didn't realize that it was a building in Texas and the building on the foreground was an unknown building for me. :(

Agree! I think it would complement PBCom. :D

^^ Nice shot there! Superb! :applause:

I gave it an 8.5/10 I like the combination of colors on the building. not boring and a lot of symmetrical likes...very well built.

It sure is similar but the williams tower is shorter and it has a blunt type of color on the building where as orient square is an improved version of williams.

10. Excellent. Regards.

^^ i wish i have the same view from my workplace.

I appreciate the color of Orient Square Bldg and also the design. For me, 7 :)

It's stealthy. The reflections it creates make the building appear like it is invisible.
