1 ROCKWELL AT IPI CENTER – COMMERCIAL SPACE

As I walked through the future site of 1 Rockwell at IPI Center, I didn’t just see another high-rise; I saw a strategic bridge in the heart of Cebu’s commercial district. Positioned directly on Pope John Paul II Avenue, this location offers what I consider a highly efficient “15-minute city” experience. I recognize the value of sharing a neighborhood with the established, generational wealth of Paradise Village, while being only a two-minute drive to the tech ecosystem of Cebu IT Park and five minutes to Cebu Business Park. To me, this is the exact intersection where legacy prestige meets new technology—bringing the density and convenience of a Makati lifestyle directly to Central Visayas.

A Corporate Standard for High-Value Sectors

This development is the absolute best match for professionals and firms serving the A&B market—specifically medical practitioners, architectural firms, and financial advisors who require an authoritative corporate presence. Set for completion in 2029, the 20-story office tower integrates the essential infrastructure that is necessary for serious enterprise:

• LEED Silver certification for sustainability.
• 100% N+1 back-up power and high-efficiency VRF inverter cooling.
• EV charging stations and secure RFID turnstile access.

Additionally, the curated three-level retail hub ensures that clients and teams have immediate access to gourmet dining and wellness services without ever needing to leave the complex.

Strategic Investment & Risk Mitigation

For investors, the acquisition strategy here is straightforward and risk-mitigated. The Assured Lease Advantage program, structured by Rockwell Land is a compelling feature for those securing units on the 3rd through 9th floors. Under this framework, the developer serves as a guaranteed tenant for the first five years, effectively eliminating immediate vacancy risks and maintenance concerns. Based on current developer projections of PHP 896 per square meter in rental income, I see this setup delivering a stabilized net yield of up to 5.1%. Whether you are an end-user who wants to secure premium headquarters on the dedicated 10th to 12th floors or an investor in building a hands-off portfolio, I view this asset as an efficient, highly liquid position in Cebu’s prime commercial corridor.

Parking slots are available at PhP1.6M.
