The LKG Tower is owned by International Copra Export Corporation (ICEC) Land Corporation, and was designed by the renowned architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, in cooperation with local firm Recio + Casas Architects.

This creates a visually dynamic profile, making it a highly visible Makati landmark.

It is just a walk away from most of Makati's other major office and residentail buildings, including G.T. International Tower, and the current tallest building in the country, the PBCom Tower, and is easliy accessible by public transport along Ayala Avenue.

Ammenities

Within the office tower there are 3 dining levels, a banking hall, parking for 500 cars, an owner’s penthouse and a helipad for VIP access on the roof. Due to its dining facilities, it has become a favorite destination of office workers from its surrounding area during break times.
