Rockwell Center, Mixed-use neighborhood in Poblacion, Makati, Philippines.
Rockwell Center is a mixed-use neighborhood in Makati, Philippines, with residential towers, office buildings, and the Power Plant Mall arranged across roughly 15 hectares. The structures surround pedestrian-friendly streets and landscaped green spaces.
The site housed a thermal power plant operated by Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company until 1994. After the plant closed, Lopez Holdings Corporation began transforming it into a modern residential neighborhood.

The neighborhood sits along major roads like Kalayaan Avenue and EDSA, offering direct connections to Makati's Central Business District. The pedestrian-friendly layout with wide paths and green spaces makes walking around easy.
The neighborhood brings together buildings designed by renowned international architects including Skidmore Owings Merrill and Filipino architect Felino Palafox. This blend of global architectural expertise shapes the look of the modern district.
