Zuellig Building
The Zuellig Building is the Philippines' first

premium office tower built since 2000. The 33-story,
160-meter-tall building is noteworthy for its
environmentally friendly architecture, distinctive
façade, and superior finishes. It is located at a
prominent intersection in Manila's Makati Central WHAT ARE THE INNOVATIONS, TECHNOLOGIES,
