How To Get To Rockwell?

Rockwell Center is an upscale land project in Makati City. Formally a thermal plant owned by its current owners, the Lopezes, the area was converted into a multi-purpose area focusing on prime features such as shopping mall, schools, and residential condominiums. The area sits on the border of Makati on one side of Pasig River. Though not as crowded and much visited yet compared to its neighbors, Ayala, The Fort, and Ortigas, Rockwell maintains a patronizing set of visitors.

Rockwell is home to the following attractions:

1. Power Plant Mall - a four-level shopping mall that houses stores for international and local specialty brands, Rustan's supermarket, restaurants and cinemas.
2. Entertainment and dining venues such as Rockwell Tent, The Loft at Manansala, Rocky's Bar and Cafe, Le Souffle (at Fernando's), and Palm Grove. Very ideal events place for colorful bazaars, corporate events, family celebrations, and extravagant fashion and design shows.
3. Residential buildings include Joya Lofts and Towers, The West Block, and The Manansala
4. Schools such as the Ateneo Professional Schools (including Ateneo Government, Law, and Business School), Colegio de Santa Rosa, Makati Elementary School, and Makati Science High School is also within the area.
5. Lopez Center - Soon to rise building, which wants to capture the "tallest building" prestige (currently on hold)
