Golden Topper Icon Tower: The Philippines Coming Tallest Skyscraper

Table of Contents

If realized, the Golden Topper Icon Tower will be a mixed-use skyscraper set to rise in the heart of Bonifacio Global City. Often just shortened to BGC, its location is a thriving modern central business district in the Philippine capital city Manila. With its impressive floor area of 222,000 square meters and a height topping of at 388 meters above ground level, this architectural masterpiece aims to redefine the skyline and elevate the functionality of Metro Manila’s CBD. The tower, which is inspired by the Philippines’ national flower the Jasmine; combines structural efficiency with artistic representation. This creates a harmonious blend of form and function through its structure.

Vision & Aim

The project’s aim is to make it into a symbol of innovation and progress in the region by setting it apart from other tall building structures in the city. By becoming a new benchmark for business and commercial ventures while integrating seamlessly with the surroundings, the tower’s developer Golden Topper hopes it will cluster businesses and create great value for investors.

The tower’s design will resemble a blooming jasmine bud, the Philippines national flower. However, The Philippines is not first by incorporating a national element into its highest tower’s architectural design.
The design of the second tallest skyscraper in the World, Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is based on the silhouette of it’s first independent Prime Minister holding a speech. Creating a landmark of significant value rooted in its national identity.

Integrating Public Spaces and Green Areas

The Golden Topper Icon Tower project embraces a fully integrated approach to urban development. The tower’s ground level opens up to create easily accessible space that extends eastward, connecting street plazas and municipal green areas. With this integration, the developer hope to enhance the area’s public accessibility and create a vibrant environment for residents and visitors alike. The tower becomes not just a symbol of architectural brilliance, but also a catalyst for community engagement and interaction.

A Luxurious Haven in the Sky

The upper segment of the tower will be dedicated to the most luxurious and modern five-star hotel in BGC. Not to mention that it would offer unparalleled hospitality and breathtaking views of the city skyline to its guest. The vision is that guests can indulge in world-class amenities, exceptional service and a serene ambiance. Making their stay an unforgettable experience. Additionally, the very top of the tower will feature a distinctive high-altitude lounge that serves as an unique destination for sightseeing and leisure.

Sustainability and Efficiency

In line with global sustainability goals, the Golden Topper Icon Tower aims to incorporate green building practices and energy-efficient technologies into the development. For example, the design optimizes natural light and ventilation, reducing the reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning. In addition, sustainable building materials and construction methods will be used to minimize the tower’s environmental impact. Through its commitment to sustainability, the tower should set an example for future developments in the region.
