Robinsons Equitable Tower, High-rise office building in Ortigas Center, Pasig, Philippines.
Robinsons Equitable Tower is a 175-meter office building with green-tinted aluminum glass curtain walls and a semi-circular corner facing ADB Avenue. The structure contains 13 elevators and multiple parking levels spanning four basement areas and five upper levels.
The tower was completed in 1997 and briefly held the title of tallest building in the Philippines until Petron Megaplaza surpassed it in 1998. This shift reflected the ongoing competition between developers to build taller structures in the city.
The building shows how businesses shifted toward contemporary office design when the city was expanding rapidly in the late 1990s.
The tower is located in Ortigas Center, a major business district that is easiest to reach by public transportation or car. Since it is a working office building, visitors should dress appropriately and contact ahead if they wish to enter.
The structure was originally planned as a 40-story residential condominium but was redesigned during development to become a taller commercial office tower. This change in plans showed how developers adapted quickly to market demands for office space in the area.
