The prestigious BDO Tower in Ortigas is the latest addition to the larger masterplan involving the existing high-end Podium Mall. Future components to this masterplan will include additional grade A offices; and the up-market expansion to the Podium Mall, which will provide additional retail, amenities, entertainment and F&B to the development. These components create the perfect working and corporate context for the BDO Tower, which will sit at the heart of this future and premier mixed-use development.
The tower itself sits on top of the existing Podium Mall and overlooks ADB Avenue. It is a sleek 47 storey high-rise with a cross-shaped, symmetrical plan, which provides a maximum number of corner office spaces overlooking the Ortigas and ADB district. It's central core is subdivided into three zones, allowing for efficient vertical transport and the subdivision of the tower into general tenancies and dedicated BDO floors. Typical office floors can be single or multi-tenant, with good efficiencies, daylighting and generous ceiling heights.
