Orient Square, Commercial building in Pasig, Philippines
Orient Square is an office tower on Emerald Avenue in Pasig, Metro Manila, rising 38 floors above street level. Its exterior is covered with an aluminum curtain wall that wraps the full height of the building.
Construction began in 1996 and the building was completed in 1999, during a period when the Emerald Avenue corridor in Pasig was drawing heavy commercial investment. It was part of a broader wave of office development that reshaped this part of Metro Manila through the late 1990s.
The building shapes how people experience the modern business districts of Metro Manila, serving as a daily workplace for thousands of office workers across its floors. Its design reflects the role such towers play in defining urban life and work habits in the Philippine capital.
The building has several entrances and seven basement levels of parking for those arriving by car. Traffic around Emerald Avenue tends to be heavy during morning and evening rush hours, so earlier or later visits during the day are easier.
The aluminum curtain wall reflects the lights of the surrounding streets at night in a way that sets the tower apart from neighboring buildings in the Pasig skyline. During the day, the same surface mirrors the sky, shifting in appearance depending on cloud cover and sunlight.
