Angeles and Bacolod Power Plant malls, Cebu resort lined up as Rockwell pushes beyond Metro Manila

Published Jan 9, 2026 01:56 pm

Upscale property developer Rockwell Land Corp. continues to pursue its strategy of expanding its revenues outside Metro Manila with the planned construction of its first beach resort development this year and its second and third Power Plant malls starting in 2027.

Rockwell Land President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Valerie Soliven said the firm’s revenue growth will be supported by its strong push to expand its portfolio, paired with its substantial land bank and expertise in serving its core market.

Based on the firm’s credit ratings report filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), the upcoming Aruga Resort will be located in the 5.2-hectare (ha) mixed-use resort estate in Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

Featuring a 300-meter beachfront, Aruga Resort will be situated along a strip of existing beach resorts. The resort will have around 300 rooms and is scheduled to begin construction in 2026.

The project will also have a residential component with units priced from ₱18.8 million to ₱247.2 million each. It will also include residential villas, which are reportedly the most expensive residential project in Cebu province so far, with villas priced from ₱64 million to ₱127.5 million each.

Next year, Rockwell will launch Power Plant Mall Angeles, situated in the firm’s 4.5-ha joint venture (JV) mixed-use development in Angeles City, Pampanga. As such, it will be in close proximity to the company’s residential projects.

The upcoming mall will have more than 30,000 square meters (sqm) of gross leasable area (GLA) and will include some of the brands and restaurants present in Power Plant Mall Makati.

Rockwell said it also intends to build its third Power Plant Mall in Rockwell Center Bacolod.

Meanwhile, Rockwell’s ongoing projects outside Metro Manila include expansion of Terreno South project, its first horizontal development catering to the middle-market segment in Lipa City, Batangas.

Its third, fourth, and fifth phases will offer an additional 538 open lots to total inventory. Given the strong market reception, Terreno South’s footprint expanded from 38 ha to 47 ha.

Also in Lipa City and close to Rockwell Center Lipa, Rockwell is developing Lauan Ridges, which spans 38 ha and offers 259 open lots in its first phase, sized from 250 to 600 sqm.

Lauan Ridges will feature swimming pools, a clubhouse, basketball and tennis courts, and parks, among others. It is also strategically located on a property with views of Taal Lake and Mount Maculot.

The first phase reportedly posted strong sales take-up shortly after its launch, with lots priced from ₱10 million to ₱30 million.

Rockwell is also developing Molinillo at Rockwell Center Lipa, the first development within its new mixed-use community in Batangas province. Spanning 14 ha, the first phase featured 207 residential open lots sized from 254 to 483 sqm. Lots have an average price of ₱10 million.

Molinillo will be in close proximity to pocket retail spaces, a retail development, and an educational institution. It is also near the toll exits of Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) Tollway, which connects to Southern Luzon Expressway (SLEX).

Meanwhile, in Canlubang, Laguna, Rockwell is developing Rockwell South, which offers residential lots and house-and-lot units. This marks the company’s first foray into high-end horizontal development.

Units are priced from ₱10 million to ₱47.5 million. Rockwell South is a JV project with the Yulo family.
