The Residences at Greenbelt – Laguna Tower is a residential condominium skyscraper in Makati, Philippines. It is the first of three buildings being constructed as part of The Residences at Greenbelt (TRAG) complex, and is the basis of the now being constructed The Residences at Greenbelt - Manila Tower. It is expected to be one of the tallest skyscraper in the Philippines with a height of 170.75 metres from the ground to its architectural top.^[4]

The building has 48 floors above ground, which includes a 4-level podium with commercial establishments, and 3 basement levels for parking. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious residential building in the Philippines.
