Greenbelt 1, located on the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Legazpi streets in Makati’s central business district, was constructed and opened in 1982. As a commercial establishment, it houses sundry shops, restaurants, and other services. 

It is considered an ICP because it was designed by National Artist for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin. According to Republic Act (RA) No 10066, works by National Artists are presumed ICPs, unless otherwise declared.
