Trump Heads To Manila

Published on 09-09-2011 by Skyscrapernews.com

Quote:

The project isn't actually planned by the famous Trump property company, but rather by a local developer, the Century City Development Corporation on a plot in Makati City, which has come up with the idea of licensing the brand and name from Trump to label their new development with which will be displayed prominently from the top of the tower.

This isn't the first time Century City Developments has tried to cash in on American branding and celebrity, they previously involved Paris Hilton with the Azure Beach Club, the design of which she was allegedly involved with.

Quote:

The scheme itself features a $150 million budget and a skyscraper of 250 metres with 60 floors. Although largely residential in nature this shows the high floor-to-ceiling heights that residents will be able to enjoy. By comparison luxury towers in London have an average floor-to-floor height of only about 3 metres.

Within will be serviced suites of 57 square metres, and a series of one to four bedroom apartments with the largest boasting 425 square metres of floor space. In all it will add up to 220 residential units.

So now Mr. Trump is setting foot into the Philippines.. Well played *smokes a pipe*

Wow, $150 million for a 820 ft tower. To me that seems amazingly cheap or is a Philippine dollar worth a lot more that a US dollar.

That's a USD figure, the PHP is worth $0.023 in USD. What it comes down to is that labor is just that much cheaper there.

I'm trying to find the exact location of this tower. I know it's part of Century City but don't know how it fits in among the other towers. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it

Ah okay. The building was originally marked there but I thought it was incorrect. I have seen a rendering where Gramercy Residences goes right to the street, but I can see now that the size of it's floorplate was reduced to make way for the Trump Tower. Thanks!

I don't have the height figures, but The Trump Tower is definitely not the tallest tower.

PBCom Tower is still the tallest, I think. The Grand Hyatt Manila, with its spire, could become the new tallest though. The tower behind The Trump holds the country's record for the tallest firewall

, as well as the tallest residential.
