The Manila Tower is a residential condominium skyscraper under construction in Makati City, Philippines. It is the third of three buildings being constructed as part of The Residences at Greenbelt (TRAG) complex, and has a similar dimension to the already completed Laguna Tower. It is expected to be one of the tallest skyscraper in the Philippines with a height of 170.75 metres from the ground to its architectural top.

The building has 48 floors above ground, which includes a 4-level podium with commercial establishments, and 3 basement levels for parking. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious residential building in the Philippines when completed.

The Manila Tower, and The Residences at Greenbelt complex as a whole, was designed by Architecture International, in cooperation with local architectural firm GF & Partners Architects. During the construction phase, it is also known as the "TRAG-3 Project".

Location

The Residences at Greenbelt complex is located along Antonio Arnaiz Avenue (formerly known as Pasay Road), and the entire complex block is bounded by Paseo de Roxas Avenue, Greenbelt Drive and Esperanza Street. The complex was formerly the site of the old Coronado Lanes bowling center and parking lot. Being inside the Makati Central Business District, it is strategically located near malls, hotels, offices, schools, and entertainment areas. As with its name, it is part of the Greenbelt Complex which includes the Greenbelt Mall. Just right across Greenbelt Drive is the Rennaissance Makati City Hotel.
