Rufino Pacific Tower, Steel-framed office skyscraper in Makati, Philippines
The Rufino Pacific Tower is an office skyscraper on Ayala Avenue in Makati, rising 41 floors with a double-glazed curtain wall facade and a steel frame structure. The building sits on a podium base and houses a mix of corporate offices, diplomatic missions, and business support services.
The tower was completed in 1994 on the site of the earlier V.A. Rufino Building, whose structure was kept and adapted to form the podium of the new construction. This approach reflected a broader pattern of redevelopment that reshaped much of Makati's central business district during that decade.
The tower is home to several international embassies and consulates, giving it a notably diplomatic character alongside its corporate tenants. Visitors passing through the lobby are likely to encounter staff from many different countries going about their daily business.
The building stands at the corner of Ayala Avenue and V.A. Rufino Street, right in the heart of the Makati central business district, and is easy to reach by several public transport options. Those who want to explore the surrounding banks, restaurants, and shops can do so on foot from this location.
Inside the tower there is a space called Little Green Hub, a business center aimed at startups and early-stage companies looking for office space and shared resources. This kind of tenant is not common in the large corporate towers of Makati, where most floors are occupied by established firms.
