Daily TribuneDeveloped by Aboitiz Economic Estates, Biz Hub at LIMA Estate is the commercial district powered by LIMA Estate's fully integrated industrial ecosystem.
Biz Hub at LIMA Estate, located in Lipa-Malvar, Batangas, is the central business district that grew from the convergence of industry, services and community within an integrated township.
LIMA Estate, home to more than 200 locators and 75,000 employees, is the demand base from which Biz Hub at LIMA Estate emerged.
Lipa-Malvar, Batangas – Growth at scale changes what a place requires. Where companies and workers concentrate, demand for supporting services naturally follows. At LIMA Estate, that demand gave rise to a commercial district built from within the estate itself.
Home to more than 200 locators and approximately 75,000 employees, LIMA Estate’s concentration of companies, workers, suppliers, and service providers creates a sustained demand base for offices, housing, retail, hospitality, education, transportation, and other commercial services within and around the estate.
Biz Hub at LIMA Estate is the 70-hectare commercial core developed in response to this activity. Its growth reflects how a mature industrial estate can generate economic value beyond manufacturing, creating opportunities for enterprises that serve the operational, professional, and everyday requirements of an expanding business community.
"Commercial value is strongest when it follows real demand," said Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, President and CEO of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land. "At LIMA Estate, industry, enterprise, workforce, and community reinforce one another within a functioning ecosystem. Biz Hub at LIMA Estate was planned around that convergence, creating a commercial district anchored on long-term economic participation."
The central business district also illustrates how industrial growth contributes to a broader regional economy. Manufacturing activity generates employment and enterprise movement, supporting demand for housing, transport, retail, food, hospitality, and education.
Residential communities such as The Villages at LIMA Estate, Campo Verde, and Summer Hills are positioned near employment centers shaped by industrial and shift-based operations. Workforce development is supported through Batangas State University – LIMA Campus and Edustria, aligning skills formation with enterprise requirements within the estate. LIMA Tower One extends this ecosystem into IT-BPM and enterprise functions, operating in direct proximity to industrial activity, while Holiday Inn & Suites Batangas Limapark supports business travel linked to ongoing operations.
Daily life within the estate is reinforced by supporting infrastructure across retail, recreation, and mobility. The Outlets at LIMA Estate, LIMA Exchange, The Golf Range at LIMA Estate, and Aboitiz Pitch serve workers, residents, and visitors, while the Red Link Hub electric transport network enables internal movement and the LIMA Gateway exit to the STAR Tollway strengthens regional access.
As economic activity increasingly moves toward regional growth centers, Biz Hub at LIMA Estate demonstrates how industry can provide the foundation for a broader and more resilient urban economy: Batangas’ first masterplanned CBD, powered by industry.
