**Tower 6789**, also known as **Makati Tower** (formerly named Alphaland Makati Tower), is a commercial skyscraper in [Barangay Bel-Air](/source/Bel-Air,_Makati), [Makati](/source/Makati), [Metro Manila](/source/Metro_Manila), [Philippines](/source/Philippines). With a height of 180 meters (590.551 feet) and 35 floors, Tower 6789 is also the 11th tallest building in the country's financial district, closely following [RCBC Plaza Yuchengco Tower](/source/RCBC_Plaza_Yuchengco_Tower).[1] It has a gross leasable area of 26,582 square meters with a floor template between 1,100 and 1600 sqms.[2] The tower was owned by local developer Alphaland, a joint venture between London-based private equity fund Ashmore Group and RVO Capital Ventures of former Trade Minister [Roberto V. Ongpin](/source/Roberto_Ongpin), but was already transferred to give Ashmore 100 percent ownership.[3][4]

Designed by [Wong & Ouyang](/source/Wong_%26_Ouyang_(HK)_Ltd.), the tower employs the glass design concept, featuring a lobby that's entirely clad in glass to admit natural light. It also includes features for improved energy performance, [indoor air quality](/source/Indoor_air_quality), and efficiency in water consumption. Tower 6789 currently holds a LEED pre-certified Gold rating for Core and Shell construction based on its structure, building envelope, and HVAC system.[5] The project was inaugurated in June 2013.[6]

## Design and features

Tower 6789 is created to allow future tenants to maintain lower operating costs and reduce [carbon footprint](/source/Carbon_footprint). Its low-flow plumbing fixtures provides 20% savings on water consumption.[7] It also has state-of-the-art conference centers, meeting rooms, and dining facilities, as well as fiber optic cabling.[8]

## Location

The building is built along 6789 [Ayala Avenue](/source/Ayala_Avenue), one of the busiest streets in [Makati](/source/Makati). It is on the same block as [PBCom Tower](/source/PBCom_Tower), the tallest building in the area. Other nearby buildings are [Robinsons Summit Center](/source/Robinsons_Summit_Center), [Insular Life](/source/Insular_Life), 6780 Ayala Bldg., and Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Head Office.

## Name

Alphaland Makati Tower was renamed to Makati Tower as its ownership has been transferred to the Ashmore group: Alphaland Holdings (Singapore) Pte Ltd. (AH) and Masrickstar Corporation.[9] As of 2016, the building is called simply Tower 6789.[10]
