Rockwell Center is a high-end mixed-use neighborhood in the Poblacion area of Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines, named after James Rockwell, former President of Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company (Meralco).[1] It is a project of Rockwell Land Corporation, which is owned by the Lopez Holdings Corporation. Rockwell Center was first developed in 1998 and is being expanded since 2012. The architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) carried out the design under the direction of former design partner Larry Oltmanns,[2] while Felino Palafox and his company, Palafox Associates, became responsible for the master-planning of the complex.[3] Its centerpiece, the Power Plant Mall, opened on December 26, 2000. Rockwell Center includes office buildings, condominium towers, a professional school and a shopping mall.

Location and vicinity[edit]

Rockwell Center sits on a 15.5-hectare (38-acre) lot in Poblacion, Makati previously occupied by a thermal power plant, which was operated by then Lopez-owned Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company until its closure in 1994. The lot is bounded by J.P. Rizal Avenue to the north, where it faces the Pasig River; Estrella Street to the east; Rockwell Drive and Amapola Street to the south; and R. Palma Street to the west.

Proscenium at Rockwell[edit]

Marking the expansion of Rockwell Center is The Proscenium at Rockwell, a 3.6 hectares (8.9 acres) mixed-used luxury development standing in the property formerly known as the Colgate-Palmolive (Philippines) headquarters. The complex is designed by world-renowned architect Carlos Ott.[4] The development consists of five residential towers, luxurious retail spaces, an office tower, and a Performing Arts Theater,[5][6] featuring limited and spacious units for each floor of the towers. The five residential towers are named the Kirov, Sakura, Lincoln,[7] Lorraine, and the Iconique Tower.

The development's office tower component, The 1 Proscenium Office, as well as the Rockwell Performing Arts Theater, is slated for completion in 2021.
