Bringing the tranquility of Batangas to the city, Rockwell Land offered a first look at Lauan Ridges through an immersive preview held at The Balmori Tent in Rockwell Center Makati on May 15, 2025.
Designed to bring the essence of the mountains closer to its primary market, the exclusive event introduced guests to Lauan Ridges—Rockwell’s newest residential development nestled in the cool highlands of Mataasnakahoy and Lipa, Batangas. The Manila-based preview provided an evocative experience for urban dwellers seeking a serene vacation home within reach of the metro.
From the moment guests arrived, they were welcomed by sights, sounds, and flavors evocative of Batangas. The Balmori garden was transformed into a tranquil escape with curated trails, pocket parks, and refreshments that mirrored the ambiance of Lauan Ridges. Inside the tent, a viewing deck-inspired setup captured the elevated charm of the actual development, evoking the calm of distant mountains and the soothing embrace of nature.
Guests enjoyed a sensory journey featuring local favorites such as Batangas lomi and Pinkie’s Farm ice cream, tied together by a Batangas-inspired menu specially crafted by chef and restaurateur Happy Ongpauco. The experience encouraged attendees to pause, reconnect, and embrace the slower, more mindful pace that defines life at Lauan Ridges.
This preview comes at a time of growing interest in leisure and wellness-oriented communities, as more urban dwellers seek to balance modern living with natural serenity.
Set on a 38-hectare property perched more than 1,000 feet above sea level, Lauan Ridges offers a scenic retreat just 90 minutes from Makati City. The development boasts panoramic views of Taal Lake and Mount Maculot, while its thoughtfully integrated amenities encourage a life grounded in peace and nature. Among its offerings are a swimming pool, splash pad, multi-purpose playfield, parks and meadows, playgrounds, yoga deck, nature trails, glamping sites, and an amphitheater—each space designed to complement the land’s natural rhythm.
With strong market interest and a growing demand for elevated living experiences, Lauan Ridges by Rockwell is set to become a sought-after destination for those looking to reconnect with nature—without straying too far from the comforts of the city.
