The hotel will be located along C.M. Recto Avenue near the bottling plant of Coca-Cola in Cagayan de Oro and across Mindanao University of Science and Technology. To its north-east is Market City where SM's SaveMore and the East Bound Bus Terminal are located. West to it is the Gaisano City Mall and a business complex by Ayala Corporation which is also under construction.
Each building has its different heights. The two identical buildings are the Hotel Limketkai. They soar above the city of Cagayan de Oro as the tallest hotel in Mindanao. These three towers are bridging connecting them via third floor. Although, Gozar Planners Phils. Inc. is planned as staircase-like buildings. The two hotels have three elevators each, while office space building features escalators.
The two identical limketkai hotels have different height, nevertheless. They raise 224ft. (m) tower 2 and 523 ft. (m) tower 3 Limketkai Hotel that attach the largest mall in Mindanao, Limketkai Center via third floor.
Has 19- story engineering a capacity of 100 rooms and 2 restaurants. The hotel houses some amenities include a private spa and health club.[3] These hotel buildings were proposed to be a twin tower hotel.[4] However, it was repealed by the architect conclusion that it is more aggressive to be as on-level towers. It was changed then from twin towers to 18 and 33 for towers 2 and 3 respectively but after the construction has begun it was announced that the towers would rise up to 19 and 36 storeys. The tower 2 was the first hotel build in the limketkai hotel.
Considering as the tallest in the two that have 36-story with a roof height of 523 ft. (m). This building has a seat capacity of 220 rooms and houses 60-foot (18.3 m) swimming outdoor pool. Limketkai features marble bathrooms and maple hardwood floors in some first-class suites and rooms. Though the two hotels are thin platforms structures, this makes wide state-of-the-art facilities such as a grand lobby.[5] Together, the tower 3 has 400 windows while tower 2 has 220 windows, taking window washers 3 weeks to completely wash both buildings. The hotel also caters a Mall that features exclusively to the guests.
The .03 hectare is situated along main creek of the city that flows into three barangays before Macajalar Bay. This creek endows critical issue since several years in the city. The acute rising and overflowing of water in this anatomical passage is an outcome of dispatching litters and solid waste which eventually obstruct flowing in liquids through canals. Although, city engineers of Cagayan de Oro was recently plotted for prevention for constructions of these building. Each interpretation of buildings schemes various defiance with the Gonzar architects.[6]
Bedrock and soil classifications solicitude into canal flow where impact concerns to the constructions which to emphasize particularly in its basement so as been able for a high-firm-cement-used buildings specially the hotel Limketkai tower that has to be 36 floors.[7]
In august 2010, the construction begun with the Mikwng Construction and Development and Enrogel Construction.[8] The base structure uses post-bricks and excavation basement on intact firm gravel through. While the two hotels buildings towers are thin platform with about 15 yards in each flanks. Gozar planners[9][10], the architects of the gateway towers evaluate the quantity for the quakes and other catastrophe would defy. They implicate iron bars structural foundations reinforced specially concerns to its high rise thin flanks buildings. In estimation, the limketkai utilize about 500.2 million only for the materials such as cement and gravel for the three towers. Together, the towers consist of 5,000 metal sticks and 70 steel bars with estimation as the highest consumers in Cagayan de Oro City of about 2,023 sacks of cement which in total weighs more than 10,000 tons in only two hotel towers. These engineering marvel hotels offer five-star amenities in Mindanao with remarkable cost range of 1.9 billion which these towers were created by the Filipino architect.[11]
It will be the tallest building in Mindanao by 2013. With the height of 159 meters this will rise as 40th tallest building in the Philippines and 2nd tallest outside Metro Manila.
