It began to rise in January 1999; the South Tower was topped off in January 2000 and the North Tower two months later. It was completed in September 2000. It held its soft opening on February 22, 2001, and was inaugurated on March 9, 2001. Notable guests like Former President Corazon Aquino, then-BCDA chairman Rogelio Singson, then-Alaska Milk Corporation head Wilfred Uytengsu Sr. with his son Wilfred Jr. and his wife Kerri were invited at the Inauguration. It took the record of being the tallest twin-towers in the Philippines from Salcedo Park Twin Towers from 2001 to 2009, until The St. Francis Shangri-La Place was completed. From 1997-2001, Metro Pacific Corporation owned the site then until 2006, jointly with Pacific Plaza Towers Condominium Corporation. After that, MPC became Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and PPTCC is now the sole legal entity owning the estate.^{[citation needed]}
