Tower One & Exchange Plaza is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Philippines. It is located in the Makati Central Business District and has a height of 160 meters (520 ft). The building has 35 floors above ground level,[4] and is originally planned to be the first of three towers for the Ayala Triangle. Plans for the construction of the two additional buildings did not materialize until 2021, due to the completion of the Ayala Triangle North complex. The area adjacent to the tower composes of 3 buildings, the Ayala Tower One, The Makati Stock Exchange (MkSE) and the former trading floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange.
Tower One & Exchange Plaza was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, LLP. Leandro V. Locsin & Partners was the local architect of record.[2][3] The building is owned by Ayala Land, a subsidiary of the Ayala Corporation, which is headquartered in the building. Other institutions that headquartered at Ayala Tower One include the primary trading floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange (Until February 2018) and Banco de Oro Universal Bank (BDO). The tower also served as the headquarters of the Ayala Corporation, the company that built the Makati Central Business District, from its opening in 1996 to 2021, as the company moved its headquarters to the Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower 2, which is also located close within the vicinity of the Ayala Triangle complex.
