The project will house the 195-room Sofitel Cebu City on floors 14 to 31, while office space will take up the 8th to 12th floors.

The project is targeting LEED Gold certification. Each floor will feature sky gardens as well as louvers on to help reduce solar heat gain. On the 16th floor, the hotel’s sky lobby will feature an atrium maximizing natural light.

Project completion is anticipated in 2025.
