The Rockwell Center is an upscale mixed-use 15.5-hectare project in Poblacion, Makati City, Philippines. It is a project of the Rockwell Land Corporation (established 1995), which is owned by the family of the late industrialist Eugenio Hofileña Lopez of Iloilo City.

[edit] Location and vicinity
Rockwell Center was constructed on a 15.5-hectare lot previously occupied by a former thermal plant which was operated by Lopez-owned MERALCO until the former's closure in 1994. The project of the power plant was named for James Chapman Rockwell, the first president of MERALCO. The lot is surrounded by J.P. Rizal Avenue to the north, where it faces the Pasig River, Estrella Street to the east, Rockwell Drive to the south, and R. Palma Street to the west.
[edit] About
Rockwell Center began its construction in 1998. Its centerpiece, the Power Plant Mall, opened in December 2000.
Rockwell Center includes high-rise office buildings, condominium towers, a law and graduate business school and a shopping mall. Among the plans for the area is the Lopez Centre, proposed to have a height of over 1000 feet, which would make it the country's tallest building.
