Rockwell Center
The
Rockwell Center is an upscale mixed-use 15.5-hectare project in
Makati City,
Philippines. It is a project of the
Rockwell Land Corporation (established 1995), which is owned by the influencial Lopez family. It sits on the site of a former thermal plant, closed in 1994, which was operated by Lopez-owned
Meralco (the project is named for
James Chapman Rockwell, the first president of Meralco). Construction began in 1998. Its centerpiece
Powerplant Mall opened in December 2000.
Features of the Rockwell Center include high-rise office buildings, condominiums, a school, and a shopping mall. Among the plans for the area is the
Lopez Centre, proposed to have a height of over 1000 feet, which would make it the country's tallest building.
