In December 2020, Primex secured a deal with [Accor](/source/Accor) to open a hotel named Pullman Manila at the Primex Tower. The hotel under Accor's [Pullman](/source/Pullman_Hotels_and_Resorts) hotel brand will occupy the building's ten topmost floors.<ref name=accor>{{cite news |last1=Cahiles-Magkilat |first1=Bernie |title=Accor, Primex sign new hotel management deal |url=https://mb.com.ph/2020/12/20/accor-primex-sign-new-hotel-management-deal/ |access-date=21 October 2021 |work=Manila Bulletin |date=20 December 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Cabuag |first1=V.G. |title=Primex inks management deal with Accor for Greenhills hotel |url=https://businessmirror.com.ph/2020/12/18/primex-inks-management-deal-with-accor-for-greenhills-hotel/ |access-date=21 October 2021 |work=BusinessMirror |date=18 December 2020}}</ref>

The building topped-off by early 2022, and was completed the following year.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dumlao-Abadilla |first1=Doris |title=Primex tops off tallest building in Greenhills |url=https://business.inquirer.net/340460/primex-tops-off-tallest-building-in-greenhills |access-date=18 June 2024 |work=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=9 February 2022 |language=en}}</ref> In July 2023, the [Department of Transportation](/source/Department_of_Transportation_(Philippines)) opened a satellite office at the tower for the Office of the Secretary.<ref name="DOTr2023">{{Cite web |date=July 1, 2023 |title=ADVISORY |url=https://www.facebook.com/DOTrPH/posts/pfbid0s2HaBJJcQ39kDqHfuyy9kcRLWHmkL2YW2UgF15dBS3X7QpuwDmWTdyajV4DtS9vYl |access-date=May 5, 2025 |website=[Department of Transportation (Philippines)](/source/Department_of_Transportation_(Philippines)) |via=Facebook}}</ref><ref name="ArceoDumlao2022">{{Cite news |last=Arceo-Dumlao |first=Tina |date=December 2, 2022 |title=BIZ BUZZ: Tugade move reversed |url=https://business.inquirer.net/375665/biz-buzz-tugade-move-reversed |access-date=May 5, 2025 |work=[Philippine Daily Inquirer](/source/Philippine_Daily_Inquirer)}}</ref>

In October 2024, Pullman backed out from the deal over difference in design preferences with Primex.<ref>{{cite news |title=Primex unit pulls plug on deal for planned Pullman Manila hotel |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/business/2024/10/18/primex-unit-pulls-plug-on-deal-for-planned-pullman-manila-hotel-1030 |access-date=5 May 2025 |work=ABS-CBN News |date=18 October 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Primex unit signs deal with Dusit International to operate new Greenhills hotel |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/5/5/tv-patrol-doe-tiniyak-na-walang-brownout-sa-araw-ng-halalan-2133 |access-date=5 May 2025 |work=ABS-CBN News |date=18 March 2025}}</ref>

In March 2025, Primex found another hotel firm to replace Pullman with [Dusit International](/source/Dusit_International) planning to operate the Dusit Greenhills Manila on the top ten floors of the building. The hotel is projected to open in 2026.<ref>{{cite news |title=Primex Realty, Dusit International to open Dusit Greenhills Manila in 2026 |url=https://mb.com.ph/2025/3/17/primex-taps-dusit-to-operate-hotel-in-greenhills |access-date=5 May 2025 |work=Manila Bulletin |date=18 March 2025 |language=en}}</ref>
