The Estate Makati is a project of ST 6747 Resources Corp. which is a joint venture of SM Development Corp. (SMDC) and Federal Land, Inc.[2] The groundbreaking ceremony was held in January 2019.

[3] British architectural firm Foster + Partners was involved[2] which designed The Estate as a cross-shaped building to reduce adverse sunlight exposure to occupants.

[5] Foster + Partners conducted various research including topographical studies and Makati's climate and sun patterns in designing the building.

Finding sunlight in the Philippines to be strong, the firm designed The Estate's windows to angle in a certain way so it could provide non-excessive lighting to the building's units all of which were constructed column-free.

[4] The Estate is also the first residential building in the country to be built using double-slab technology[3] which conceals the electricals and plumbing between two layers of concrete.
