Rockwell Land Corporation is a real estate development company initially tasked to develop a prime residential and commercial land located adjacent to the Makati Central Business District.

Founded by the Lopez Group, Rockwell Land has experienced remarkable growth in its first two years of operations. Established in 1995, Rockwell Land transformed a former thermal power plant site into a new living environment which is now the Rockwell Center.

Rockwell Center, the flagship project of Rockwell Land Corporation, sits on a 15.5 hectare site in Makati City, strategically located between the Makati and Ortigas business districts. It has been developed into a self-contained, mixed-use community consisting of 5 high-rise residential towers, a sports and leisure club, office buildings, a lifestyle shopping center and a graduate school of law, business and government. A "city within a city", Rockwell Center offers all there is to living well.

HISTORY

Rockwell Center is formerly the site of the Meralco-owned 130MW Rockwell Thermal Plant. Named after James Chapman Rockwell, Meralco's first president, the Rockwell Thermal Plant operated from the 1950's to the early 1990's. Its shutdown in 1994 marked the start of the flagship project of Rockwell Land   Corporation.

OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

After the shutdown of the Rockwell Thermal Plant in 1994, Manila Electric Company (Meralco), Benpres Holdings Corporation and First Philippine Holdings Corporation (FPHC) established Rockwell Land Corporation in 1995 to convert and develop the property on which the power plant stood into a prime mixed-use inner city development.
