On the 15th of June 2011, the developer announced that the 70-storey condominium will be finished as the country's tallest building in 2015 and will definitely be built to a height of 312 meters. Picar Development, Inc., is building Stratford Residences on Picar Place, a prime property measuring more than 3,500 square meters located on Kalayaan Avenue in Bel-Air, Makati City.

Aguiluz V, chairman of Picar Development, Inc. Stratford Residences will have 1,124 fully furnished residential units ranging from studio, single, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom units, and penthouses, said Picar in a statement.

The luxury condo has a curvilinear design named as one of the best designs of 2009 by BCI Asia, an expert in construction market information. "Its folded facade is not just for aesthetics, it helps in capturing and maximizing the presence of natural and artificial light," Aguiluz said.

It will also have a library, music library, a private mini-theater, and function room for events. Residents will also enjoy a 24-hour concierge service, remote-controlled lighting system, and Wi-Fi access on every floor.
