Pacific Plaza Towers began groundbreaking and excavated in 1997, with first concrete pouring in 1998. 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 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 owns the site until its joint ownership with Pacific Plaza Towers Condominium Corporation until 2006 when it became Metro Pacific Investments Corporation and PPTCC is now the sole ownership.[citation needed]
