Mixed-use in Rockwell Center, Makati From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lopez Center is a proposed building that will rise at a one-hectare area at JP Rizal, Rockwell Center, Makati.[1] It was launched in 2008 as a mixed-use building that has 50 floors. It would be the future headquarters of several companies owned by the Lopez family.[2] The tower is named after Manolo Lopez, the owner and developer of the Rockwell Center. It is expected to be the tallest building in the Philippines once completed.[3] It is designed after the new One World Trade Center in New York City. One of its earlier designs included a crown on top but it was later changed to a new and better design. It was supposed to begin construction in 2007 but was delayed. The office space is planned to be operational in 2011.
