Design and location

[edit]

The One San Miguel Avenue is the first office tower owned and developed by Amberland Corporation, was designed by Filipino architectural firm Philip H. Recto Architects. Located along San Miguel Avenue corner Shaw Boulevard, it is currently one of the highest buildings in Pasig and in Ortigas Center as a whole,[2] and is quite distinguishable due to its height and location. It used to serve office spaces for the Manila Broadcasting Company, which included a transmitter tower for DZMB and DWYS, before transferring technical operation to nearby BSA Twin Towers; as well as the new national headquarters of Brigada Mass Media Corporation, which houses studio facilities for its Luzon flagship DWBM,[1] and to a branch of international BPO company Sykes. It is also near numerous office and residential buildings, as well as major shopping malls like SM Megamall, Shangri-La Mall, and St. Francis Square.

The building has eight double-decker elevators.

Amenities

[edit]

The building has 6 basement and 5 aboveground floors for parking of tenants and guests, a canteen at the 9th floor, and Virspacio Coworking Spaces at the 31st floor[8]
