Beyond its 30-year legacy, Rockwell Land is proving to be growing stronger beyond new heights in 2025. From increased revenue and massive expansion in size and scale to creating communities and new connections outside the capital region, the firm looks ahead strategically with a stable footing in the years ahead.

“We ended 2025 on a strong note, anchored on the same foundations that have long guided us—enduring relationships and the strength and agility to respond to any challenge,” said Nestor J. Padilla, Rockwell Land chairman and CEO.

In its annual report, Rockwell recorded a net income after tax of P5.3 billion, a 29 percent increase from last year’s figure of P4.1 billion. Its revenue grew 4 percent to P20.9 billion, compared to last year’s record of P20 billion. The firm also reached a record high in reservation sales of P25.3 billion, marking a 62 percent increase from last year.

One of the drivers of revenue growth is the retail segment, contributing P2.6 billion in revenues, a 6 percent increase from P2.5 billion in 2024, propelled by higher rental rates, improved tenant sales, and strong occupancy.

In the office segment, revenues increased to P1.3 billion from P1.2 billion in 2024, driven by higher rental rates. Notwithstanding the high Metro Manila office vacancy rate, Rockwell's office portfolio delivered a good performance with improving, healthy occupancy rates and steady tenant demand.

“Despite a cautious and uneven market, resilient demand and strong momentum were driven by projects including Cabo San Diego, Aruga Resort and Residences Mactan, Edades West, Lauan Ridges, Rockwell Center Lipa, and Samanean at Paradise Farms,” said Valerie Jane L. Soliven, Rockwell Land president and COO.

The previous year saw the firm launch several new projects with a combined value of almost P30 billion, expanding the Rockwell standard into key regions like Pampanga, Bulacan, and Batangas.

In 2025, the strong take-ups in horizontal and residential developments include sold-out projects such as Molinillo, the first residential phase of Rockwell Center Lipa (Batangas), and Phase 2 of Samanean at Paradise Farms (Bulacan), a 110-hectare adventure-inspired development. The 38-hectare hillside community of Lauan Ridges in Batangas is over 80 percent sold.

The annual report cited the launch of The Aurelio, the third residential tower in Rockwell Center at Nepo (Pampanga), in October 2025, the turnover of the first tower, The Manansala, and the topping off of Power Plant Mall Angeles in March 2025, as well as the firm’s expansion of its beachfront portfolio with the launches of the Cabo San Diego (Batangas), its first beach and golf resort community, and the Aruga Resort and Residences’ (Cebu) second residential ocean-facing tower.

Initial handovers had begun at Nara Residences in Bacolod and Larsen in Sucat, Muntinlupa.

The year 2025 was also marked by the firm’s entry into performing arts with the opening of The Proscenium Theater in Rockwell Center, Makati, and the bold move in the acquisition of the majority stake in the 17.5-hectare Alabang Town Center lifestyle hub.

Moving forward, Padilla said, “Even amid uncertainty, we remain grounded in our core strengths, guided by the learnings of experience, and committed to moving forward with the interests of our stakeholders and partners in mind. Above all, we choose to stay in the game."

For Soliven, “the goal heading into the next year is straightforward: sustain the momentum we have built, continue delivering on our commitments, and keep earning the trust that Rockwell has spent many years building.”
