Two new Rockwell communities bring exclusivity, refinement, and future-ready living to Batangas’ rising city.
Property Report recently joined Rockwell Land’s media tour of its newest communities in Batangas, offering an inside look at how the developer is shaping the future of refined living in the South. The visit took us to the sites and sales lounges of Lauan Ridges and Rockwell Center Lipa—two projects that together mark Rockwell’s expansion beyond Metro Manila into CALABARZON, positioning Lipa as a new hub for growth and lifestyle in Southern Luzon.
Lipa’s growing appeal
Long celebrated for its Kapeng Barako and cultural landmarks, Lipa City has steadily evolved into one of Southern Luzon’s most attractive addresses. Less than two hours from Manila, it benefits from expressways like SLEX and the STAR Tollway, with bypass roads further improving connectivity.
This accessibility has made Lipa a natural gateway for both business and leisure. The city today hosts business parks, BPO firms, and manufacturing estates, while also offering schools, universities, hospitals, retail centers, and dining destinations. With its cooler climate and scenic backdrop, it has become a place where opportunities, modern conveniences, and nature are all within reach.
Lauan Ridges: A sanctuary above the city
Lauan Ridges marks Rockwell’s first premium horizontal development in Batangas. Located across Mataasnakahoy and Lipa, the 38-hectare estate sits more than 1,000 feet above sea level, offering panoramic views of Taal Lake and Mt. Maculot.
Its first phase spans 17 hectares, with lot sizes ranging from 250 to 600 square meters. Designed as a nature-inspired retreat, Lauan Ridges emphasizes wellness and community through resort-style amenities: a clubhouse, pool, splash pad, yoga deck, multipurpose playfield, glamping sites, and amphitheater spaces. Wide, tree-lined roads and modern infrastructure ensure both comfort and security, while its elevated setting provides a unique sense of place.
Since its launch, Lauan Ridges has been warmly received, with most of its first phase already sold—a clear sign of the market’s appetite for this kind of Rockwell lifestyle in Batangas.
Molinillo at Rockwell Center Lipa: A new urban hub
Just minutes away, Rockwell Center Lipa introduces a different dimension of living in Batangas. This 63-hectare master-planned township, developed in partnership with General Milling Corporation, is envisioned as Lipa’s emerging urban hub. It will seamlessly bring together residential, retail, commercial, and institutional spaces into a walkable, future-ready community.
At its heart is Molinillo, the township’s first residential phase. Spanning 14 hectares, Molinillo offers expansive lots ranging from 250 to 500 square meters. Thoughtfully planned with wide roads, lush parks, and curated amenities, it sets the tone for a thriving live-work-play environment.
Molinillo’s strong debut signals its appeal: its first lot release sold out in just one month, underscoring Rockwell’s reputation for creating highly sought-after addresses.
Shaping the south’s next chapter
Together, Lauan Ridges and Rockwell Center Lipa reflect Rockwell’s confidence in CALABARZON’s momentum. The region continues to see infrastructure investment and economic activity, and these communities extend the Rockwell promise of exclusivity, reliable property management, and lifestyle offerings into a location where growth and nature coexist.
For those seeking a serene retreat, Lauan Ridges provides a refreshing sanctuary. For families and investors seeking long-term value, Molinillo at Rockwell Center Lipa delivers a vibrant community designed for everyday living.
More than a home, a legacy
The media tour highlighted how Rockwell is not only building projects in Batangas but also shaping the futures of its residents. By weaving together landscapes, modern planning, and lifestyle-driven amenities, Rockwell is redefining what it means to live well beyond Metro Manila.
As Batangas rises in prominence, Lauan Ridges and Rockwell Center Lipa stand as milestones in Rockwell’s enduring legacy: communities that are aspirational, secure, and deeply connected to place.
