Does the acronym LKG have a meaning?

It is one of the more distinctive buildings in the Makati skyline. It happens to be one of my favorites because it somehow reflects its name LKG.

bakit parang hindi pantay yung floors sa magkabilang side ng / ?

kevinb · February 25th, 2007, 12:15 PM

Hindi talaga siya pantay.

c0kelitr0 · February 25th, 2007, 12:19 PM

Pantay ang isang buong floor, it doesn't make sense to have half of the floor raised or lowered a bit. It's just that the inner part of the / has been setback a little bit so the floors look uneven when viewed in certain angles.

This is a weird looking building. I like it!

...isnt there a building to be constructed beside Jaka? i think its 30+ floors or something... it wouldve been great if Jaka was finished. Now it should be demolished... for sure the building has deteriorated with its stagnant state for years... *sigh*

diz · February 25th, 2007, 11:55 PM

I forgot, was Jaka a glassy type of building?

^ I knew Ate Mhe-Ann would reply here. This is your favorite building right and you even had an avatar of it before.

And I thought the only puzzling thing about LKG Tower was the shape...

..I noticed that some areas of the cladding have a darker finish to them. I always considered them to be shadows from other neighboring buildings!

Hi Jhaelnis, this should answer your question...It is from their website.

Quote:

The LKG Group of Companies maintains extensive holdings in areas of construction, manufacturing, real estate, wholesale, trading, general merchandising, social services and education. It began trading before World War II with its Chairman and Patriarch, Lim, K. G. at the helm. Despite the devastation the war left the Philippines with, LKG emerged with a string of factories and land assests. Since then, LKG has grown to cover more diversified investments. In terms of annual gross revenues, the groups combined performance ranks among the country's top 500 corporations.
