Enhanced connectivity unlocks prime opportunities in this progressive city in Batangas
Lipa City, dubbed as the “Little Rome of the Philippines”, is fast gaining renown not only for its heritage churches but also for its vibrancy and rapid urbanization, owing to the massive infrastructure buildup in the region and the influx of new developments in the province.
With such developments aimed at improving connectivity, accessibility, and quality of life, Lipa’s rise as a dynamic urban core is gaining momentum, opening doors to new and exciting opportunities in business, real estate, and lifestyle.
Game-changing projects
Ongoing projects like the Manila-Batangas Bypass Road, among others, are not only helping expand the infrastructure network in the province but are also laying the groundwork for this modern metropolis. These thoroughfares, after all, are essential arteries that could help enhance accessibility and connectivity in both the city and the province, while spurring economic activity and urban development.
The Manila-Batangas Bypass Road, for example, significantly reduces travel time between Manila and Batangas, while providing easier access to Lipa.
By facilitating smoother and faster travel, this road has since opened up new opportunities for business and leisure—further boosting Lipa’s appeal as a prime investment destination for both local and foreign enterprises, while generating fresh jobs for residents in the city and surrounding towns.
Soon, another critical infrastructure will further bolster Lipa’s connectivity. The Lipa-Inosluban Bypass Road, a six-lane, 38-meter wide, 4.8-km route is set to connect Barangay Inosluban to Barangay Lumbang, easing traffic congestion and linking Lipa City directly to nearby municipalities and key locations. This new road will also run through Rockwell’s upcoming development, providing future residents with seamless access to Lipa and beyond.
On top of these are existing thoroughfares like the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and Southern Tagalog Arterial Road, which make travel between Lipa and Metro Manila a breeze.
These new projects, no doubt, are catalysts for new opportunities, creating a conducive environment not only for companies to expand their footprint in the Calabarzon Region, but also for Rockwell to introduce a new lifestyle experience in the city.
Lipa as an investment hotspot
Besides infrastructure, Lipa City has emerged as a top destination for investors engaged across sectors, from retail, outsourcing, industrial, and real estate, owing to its thriving local economy, ease of doing business, its growing and young population, and rising purchasing power have made it an increasingly attractive hub for businesses.
New businesses are cropping up yearly, drawn to Lipa’s potential as the next urban center in the province. Among them are IT and business process management (IT-BPM) companies, eager to leverage the local talent pool in this “Next Wave City”—a name Lipa City has earned for being one of the most conducive outsourcing locations in the country.
Data from Colliers Philippines showed that Lipa City continues to flourish, expanding by 2.33 percent in 2021, marking one of the highest growth rates among areas near Metro Manila. The city, according to its local government, has the highest deposit accounts in the province as of 2021, with 318 financial institutions and 44 major banks.
Today, Lipa continues to evolve into a new metropolis that is ready to support a higher level of commerce, leisure, and urban living, providing a lifestyle that merges urban conveniences with the natural beauty of Batangas.
And soon, it’s about to get even better.
Something remarkable on the horizon
With the rise of Lipa City comes the promise of a remarkable addition to its bustling landscape.
Later this year, Rockwell is gearing up to introduce another development that would redefine Lipa City as a vibrant new metro.
This highly anticipated residential community is poised to bring a distinctive lifestyle experience to Batangas, bringing Rockwell’s signature brand of elegance, convenience, and community to complement the energy of a growing urban center.
More than just an enclave, Rockwell’s upcoming project will solidify Lipa’s status as a premier urban hub, offering residents the opportunity to be part of an exciting new chapter in this city’s growth story.
Indeed, something remarkable is on the horizon, making today the perfect time to be part of Lipa’s ongoing rise.
All eyes are now on this city with its infrastructure boom, combined with Rockwell’s bold plans, Lipa is positioned to become Southern Luzon’s next major destination for urban living, business, and leisure.
