tnx for sharing your find. :) another welcome addition to the BGC skyline.

nice...better than the common box. It has some of the traits of LKG Tower

The BGC construction boom continues with this good looking Globe telecom building. Definitely another
very good addition to the growing list of good looking BGC projects in the pipeline. I like it! :okay: :okay:

^^ Oo nga...parang LKG! i love the design!

it's a good add to fort's skyline.

yun din unang napansin ko, kamukha nung LKG

^^nice find.

the design is very avantgarde.
Yup LKG in a way, but this definitely looks A LOT better.:)

Nice! Finally, another office building in BGC. Now we just need Smart to put up a new (supertall) HQ in the next lot. :D

I think smart has already an office in BGC. im not sure though.

Oh, I meant an exclusive HQ office building for them.

I think once the PSEi has relocated to BGC more corporations will flock to build office buildings in BGC/North Bonifacio.

^^ Love the design. Had this been a lot taller, around plus 40 stories, it could well be a very iconic tower.

very nice indeed...thanks for sharing

great building....modern

nice. :D

finally their own bldg :)

^^ Wasn't the building along Pioneer St. in Mandaluyong the former Globe HQ?

^yes

in what orientation is the tower facing? towards the 32nd avenue? anybody got a clue?

^^ It seems to me that 32nd Avenue would be the street behind.

hmm.. At 3,094 sq.m., that would be two lots, so tama yung label sa map which is actually composed of two lots as far as I know. That would be around as wide as Net Quad though the design would make it look a lot less massive. Beautiful.

Ganda ganda. :okay:

Sayang. Bakit hindi nila ginawang bilog ang building? j/k
Like it. Can someone please post a pic of the LKG Tower for comparison? Thanks

Sayang. Bakit hindi nila ginawang bilog ang building? ...

ohh.. this looks a very good one.. so this has been dug for quite some time already.. great to know what that lot is going to be!

Mod: What project is this? taken today, 5/12. It's near F1 Tower.

Oo nga. Is this the Globe Tower?

ui! astig ang design ah... ganda... good thing it's already under construction..

Yeah, I agree. Good timing, since the global economy is finally showing signs of recovery.

Did they dig a hole for this one?

That's an old picture. :)

Globe putting up HQ in Global City

Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 23:02:00 07/25/2010

Filed Under: Construction & Property, Telecommunications Equipment

MANILA, Philippines—Globe Telecom begins construction of its new corporate headquarters at the Bonifacio Global City through a simple ceremonial kick-off led by Ayala Corp. president and COO Fernando Zobel de Ayala and Globe president and CEO Ernest Cu.

The new Globe HQ, to rise at the corner of 32nd and 7th Avenues in the Bonifacio Global City, stands on a 3,094-square-meter lot and will have 27 floors with floor area of more than 70,000 square meters. Designed with an innovative mix of traditional and modern aesthetics, the new head office will also house the Consumer Village which will showcase the latest offers, innovations and milestones from Globe.

The building is scheduled for completion in 2013.

“Employee morale and productivity is directly impacted by the physical workplace. We made it a point to have the design team consult employees on what would make their office a great environment to work in. This building is also a testament to Globe going green—our commitment to environmental sustainability. For our customers, it is a symbol of the customer-friendly and customer-driven focus that Globe has been integrating into its operations,” said Cu.

Globe has partnered with affiliate Ayala Land, Aidea Integrated Design, Aromin & Sy, Davis Langdon & Seah, the Meinhardt Group, and IA Campbell & Associates for the project.

wow this is great news... and indeed their lot have been fenced already for weeks already.. :D

I wonder if they kept the original design or they'd be having a different render..

Beautiful. :D

I present a bigger and value-engineered version of the rendering.
Notice how the left side now has glass-colored concrete spandrels instead of a full glass curtain wall on the previous perspective posted.
Different logo too.

I like how the massing of this building makes it look less bulky than it should, considering that it actually stands on two lots.

There's already a mock-up of the façade at podium level facing Lane Q near the corner of 7th Avenue. It's glass with aluminum composite panel spandrel. I'm so sorry I forgot the color of the glass, but someone within the area may check it for reporting here. :D

^^ Really disappointed by that cladding. I thought the lower right side would be glassier like with the corners. Instead they're installing the same striped facade like in the diagonal portion.

If you closer, the lower right side is not the same blue & gray striped facade of the diagonal portion. It's a blue glass & blue aluminum facade. It is only a gray covering of the blue aluminum that will be removed when the building is finished.

:D

is this the office of their max 1 year contractual employees??hehehe

Globe tower will stick with the original design. As you can see, the stickers are falling off the sides which reveals the darker shade of glass of Globe Tower.

Looking Good! Don't seem like they deviated from the original design. It looks, atleast to me, like the original design when all those protective coverings are finally removed. :okay: :okay:

^^It does deviate a little from the original design. On the original render, there should be at least two more floors on top instead of concrete walls. But it still a very good addition to BGC's collection of buildings...

it deviated a lot from the render.

no it did not...

yung acp na accent lang dapat naging dominant na kaya medyo pumangit

the glass in the render is much more classy than the real one..

dito pla napunta ung mga ninakaw ng globe sa load ko...:bash:

In most cases, renders seem to be glassier than the real product. Could it be because it's easier and cheaper to build a scale model using all glass? I heard that those scale models actually cost a lot.

lol, what an honest predicament there.

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3500/dscn5069e.jpg

halos nasunod naman pala ang render- confusing kasi yung isa picture parang ACP yung nakakabit

Wow! :banana: Kung kasing ganda lang sana ng building nila ang service nila edi ok na :| Aboveall, ang ganda! :D

May hawig sa LKG building

maybe what they're trying to say in the disappointment is that the cladding should be shinier? i was somehow disappointed when i saw the glass as i compared it to the rendering. but it is still very good.. good job

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8083/8336023761_7c4a63ac8b_h_d.jpg

I'm so disappointed with the outcome. In the render the height of the glass is almost the same as the white aluminum cladding (middle portion) as compares to the actual in which they reduced the height of the glass thus doubling the height of tha cladding.
It looks ugly.

It's not even finished. Let's just wait and see.

Puede pang habulin yung top portion. Dadayain lang sa glass like they did with the Beaufort firewalls. Ang di ko lang gusto eh medyo mas mataba yung white stripes niya. I also like better the color of the glass in the render.

Pinaka maganda pa rin yung lata ng bisquits. :D

it's a beautiful building!!! hay salamat may building na rin na naging daring sa architecture :)

^^ logo na lang ang kulang.

I don't like what they did to the bottom part. Layo na talaga sa render. Na-extend pa yung white stripes tapos tinipid talaga sa glass dun sa gray part... nag mukang cheap. Para tuloy may podium din samantalang yung sa render eh elegant columns like with Zuellig that's topped with glass. And of course there's my pet peeve since the start which is the thicker horizontal white stripes.

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s480x480/557845_372103626208264_1627599676_n.jpg

http://www.campbell.com.ph/wp-content/gallery/commercial/commercial-globe1.jpg

Don't get me wrong. To me it's a welcome addition to that row, but I think it would have been in a higher league had they been more faithful to the original design as shown in the render.

I think the pictures above only showed the back of the building (thats why you dont see the white columns). i have not seen a picture here showing the front of the building.

^^ I think the pictures above only showed the back of the building (thats why you dont see the white columns). i have not seen a picture here showing the front of the building.

What about that extended white stripe that ruined the triangle and that gray part? Is it only at the back? My point was glass topped columns. It doesn't matter to me if they still have those columns if it's only gonna be topped by non-glass cladding (aluminum or concrete... whateva :D ).

may pic ka ba ng front ng building? mas maganda kasi macompare ang both sides baka kasi sa back lang ng building ang ganyan :)

Wala... sinira na nung "back" na yan eh... so it doesn't matter to me anymore. :lol:

Gusto ko kasi sa buildings may sense on all angles... back, front, sides and top.

I don't like what they did to the bottom part. Layo na talaga sa render. Na-extend pa yung white stripes tapos tinipid talaga sa glass dun sa gray part... nag mukang cheap. Para tuloy may podium din samantalang yung sa render eh elegant columns like with Zuellig that's topped with glass. And of course there's my pet peeve since the start which is the thicker horizontal white stripes.

Don't get me wrong. To me it's a welcome addition to that row, but I think it would have been in a higher league had they been more faithful to the original design as shown in the render.

^^ Oh I see what you are saying. Yup I agree it does look better in the render when they had glass all the way down the building. :cheers:

Actually if you look closely at the render, you'll see that the first five floors above the podium have grills. above it are glass windows na. faithful naman pala siya sa render imo. napagkamalan lang na glass yung lower floors when in fact halata naman sa dami ng white lines na grills siya. :)

^^ Mmm... OK guess you're right in that the original building design didn't really have glass all the way down even in the render to begin with but just that somehow the render still gave that overall perception of a glassier building when looking at it compared to the actual. Looks like that it's more dissimulated in the render compared to than that of how it actually came out in fruition. It blended better in the render but did not come out that way in actuality. It's really just more noticable in reality which makes the render look better than that of the actual building. But then again how often do buildings actually come out better than it's render diba. Hardly Rarely... Still, it's definitely a good addition to BGC. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Actually di naman masagwa yung "grills" sa closeup eh. It's better than aluminum cladding or painted concrete. :) Sana may pic ng ground floor. Mas maganda pa rin kung dineretso yung glass pababa.

^^ It actually looks kinda squat and fat in reality doesn't it especially when compared to the taller and leaner render of the building. Kung baga mas malusog ang itsura niya! Hehehe... :lol: :lol: :lol:

dam thats 1 sexy building :p

Kailan ba ang completion nito??

Kailan ba ang completion nito??

Based on Globe's press release last 7/25/2010, the building will be completed in 37 months so the latest date of completion is 8/25/2013. Based on the latest pics, said target date is quite possible.

^^ sa bagay, logo ng Globe ang kulang sa facade nito.

IMHO, the design looks like top heavy... Hindi balance yung aesthetics ng building...:D

i think it is ok. kung taller siya parang hindi magiging pantay yung slanted portion kasi mas lalaki ang vacant space sa blue portion.

interestingly enough bakit kaya pantay pantay ang buildings sa row na to? haha

Tanggalin lahat ng puti ang ganda niyan.

...interestingly enough bakit kaya pantay pantay ang buildings sa row na to? haha

I've asked that before and @thomasian has already answered that. He talked of the FAR.

I also think it's ok. A unique shape is better than the regular box tower.

Kaya pantay pantay ang buildings sa 32nd Ave. area na ito ay may Floor-Area-Ratio na strictly implemented sa BGC. Maximize ng developers FAR at hanggang around 30 sa 32nd Ave. kaya pantay mula F1 hanggang Ecotower. Pinakamataas FAR sa outer portions ng BGC (e.g. Trion & Pacific Plaza Towers) at pinakamababa sa center (BHS buildings).

IMHO, the design looks like top heavy... Hindi balance yung aesthetics ng building...:D

correct bro...mejo masakit sa mata tingnan lalu na pagfrom the back titingnan ung building:ohno:

http://i50.tinypic.com/14xgfw1.jpg

Ok na sana yung slant/ inclined surfaces pero medyo hindi naka proportion.. Nonetheless
I have to agree with jpbferrer that this building is quite better than having a box tower... :D

Some pics courtesy of hope. Thanks for sharing! :) :cheers:

^^ When the Ayala group changed BGC's city grid from the original circular one (rotunda type) designed by IM Pei for the MetroPacific group to a city block type to accommodate Ayala's Boni HighStreet strip mall, in effect nagmukhang bakod tuloy yung wall of buildings along 32nd Ave. because they all have the same FAR. Para tuloy nagmukhang demarcation line or quasi-boundary yung 32nd Ave separating BGC proper of Ayala and that of Federal Land and MegaWorld's North Boni developments. Hopefully the succeeding buildings to be built on the other side of 32nd Ave going to North Boni will be taller so as to create that desireable V-SHAPE or Staircase form (with Boni High Street the lowest point) so that top portion of the buildings farther down the block will atleast still have some semblance of views and breathing space from the buildings across/in front of them. :) :cheers:

MetroPacific po ba or Ayala ang nagtayo ng wide sidewalks? Thanks.

^^ BGC was envisioned as a very walkable pedestrian city to begin with so we can say MetroPacific started them in BGC and Ayala wisely continued the practice when they took over development. In some areas mas nilaparan pa nga ng Ayala yung sidewalks. Kudos for them for doing that. :cheers:

oh ok. thanks for the info! :)
