Just some tidbit info i know on how the building accent of the exterior (building ribbon) came about...

The building's owner is ICEC Land Corporation...for International Copra Export Corporation...

Copra as we all know comes from coconuts....

The "ribbon" accent actually resembles a coconut trunk which is configured as such spanning tall from the ground up to the building's apex...

That's the info i got when i was involved during it's construction...

just my two cents..

RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) group acquired ABM-Amro. Hence the change.

ABN-Amro used to be in LKG, and since it was bought out, it has to stay there imo.

But the news is...that skysign has now been changed to Manulife!
