Pacific Star Building, Office skyscraper in Makati, Philippines
The Pacific Star Building is a 29-story office tower in Makati featuring glass and concrete surfaces combined with Spanish architectural design elements. The structure rises 112 meters and forms a distinctive element in the skyline profile of the business district.
The building was funded by the phosphate trust authority of the Republic of Nauru and opened in 1989. It marked a significant moment in Makati's emergence as the region's rising financial center.
The building's name references maritime commerce and reflects the Philippines' connection to international trade networks. Visitors walking through the main lobbies notice modern design elements and contemporary art installations that express the district's identity as a progressive business hub.
The building offers multiple entrances with separate vehicle and pedestrian access points that make it easy to locate within the business district. Most spaces function as office areas, so public access is generally limited to lobby areas and commercial tenants.
When completed in 1989, the building briefly held the title of tallest structure in the Philippines before another tower surpassed it just two years later. This short period at the top marks an important moment in the country's building history.
