Aboitiz Land, the real estate arm of the Aboitiz Group, is deepening its community integration with the transformation of The Villages at Lipa into The Villages at LIMA Estate, the country’s leading industrial-anchored estate, home to world-class manufacturers, and a growing commercial district.
This move also underscores its role as the leading provider of housing solutions within and around Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates.
Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and CEO of Aboitiz Land and Head of Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates, said the goal is to build a holistic ecosystem that seamlessly integrates industrial, commercial, and residential spaces.
“By leveraging the Aboitiz Group’s strengths in energy, water, and construction, and incorporating Aboitiz Land’s residential expertise, we are enhancing our value proposition with estate-adjacent housing and diverse accommodations. This not only drives economic growth but also enriches the quality of life for the communities we serve,” said de Mesa.
As LIMA Estate continues to expand as a center of commerce and industry, Aboitiz Land ensures that residential options grow alongside it. With 1,000 hectares of industrial and commercial spaces, 183 locators, and a workforce of over 75,000 employees, the estate is positioned as a key driver of economic activity in the region. The Villages at LIMA Estate will offer a thoughtfully designed residential environment that complements the estate’s growth, providing a well-connected, future-ready community for homeowners and investors.
The shift from The Villages at Lipa to The Villages at LIMA Estate reflects the vision of a fully integrated estate where residential, business, and commercial spaces work in synergy. Residents will benefit from improved mobility and connectivity through the Red Link, a dedicated transport route within the estate, ensuring easier access to key locations. Additionally, the planned transition to LIMA Enerzone as the estate’s power distributor will offer more stable and reliable utilities.
The Villages at LIMA Estate stands to benefit from upcoming infrastructure projects, which will enhance connectivity and accessibility in the region. With the SLEX Toll Road 4 reducing travel time between Batangas and Quezon, the C5 South Link Expressway improving access to Metro Manila and CALABARZON, and the Taguig City Integrated Terminal Exchange streamlining transportation links, residents will enjoy greater mobility and seamless access to key business districts, transport hubs, and lifestyle destinations. These developments further reinforce LIMA Estate’s position as a prime residential and economic hub in the South.
Beyond infrastructure, the development promotes a cohesive, master-planned community that fosters a sense of belonging. Thoughtfully designed open spaces, green areas, and secure residential zones ensure a balanced environment where families can thrive. The integration with the broader economic estate creates a unique residential experience where home, work, and lifestyle seamlessly intersect.
