And that's the reason why sometimes it's referred to as MetroBank Plaza?

Mithril Cloud · March 8th, 2007, 01:56 PM

Maybe.. but the real Metrobank Plaza's located along Buendia Ave.

ryanr · March 8th, 2007, 07:13 PM

I've never heard this tower being called MetroBank Plaza. Its always been GT Tower (or GT International Tower). MetroBank Plaza is along Buendia Ave, as mithril mentioned.

One Legazpi Park roof deck... I was a member of the project team who constructed OLP.

Some photos I posted on other threads within the Completed Projects thread group were taken from TRAG Lorenzo Tower late 2005 when I was also a member of the project team.

^thanks for all these rooftop photos, shyaman. They are well-taken, high quality shots.

Francis20 · March 10th, 2007, 08:56 AM

THAT'S RIGHT. thanks shyaman. and you know what? we strongly believe that you should get back to EEI so you can provide us with those stunning shots again.

i don't like it at that angle..

it looks bitin..

I used to work in one of the buildings beside the GT Tower, aside from the beautiful structure of GT I was also awestruck by the look inside, specially while going up the escalator from the "small" lobby. I believe this was used in one of Lea Salonga's shampoo commercials. If anyone has a photograph of the views from the escalator I wish you can share it here.

The GT Tower is the 2nd highest rated skyscraper in the Top 201-300 skyscrapers category of SSC's Rate our Talls. It has an average of 8.27, second only to Hyatt Center in Chicago with 8.44

Askal82 · September 2nd, 2007, 06:18 PM

and it rightly justify why it should be the most iconic building in MM.
