About Rockwell Center

A mixed-use project sitting on a former thermal power plant owned by the Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company (MERALCO), Rockwell Center is definitely worth considering for those with an eye for an upscale lifestyle. This self-contained development boasts numerous high-end condominiums, the Power Plant Mall, cafés and restaurants, a local branch of the Asian Eye Institute, and even an institution of higher learning. Its newest section, the Carlos Ott-designed Proscenium at Rockwell, is a 3.6-hectare mixed-used project located just across Estrella Street.



Named after James Rockwell, the first president of MERALCO, Rockwell Center 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.

Rockwell Center began its construction in 1998, and was designed by global architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merril, the architects behind the Hong Kong International Airport’s gigantic passenger terminal. The project’s centerpiece, the Power Plant Mall, opened in December 2000.
