It wasn\u2019t my first visit \u2014 I had previously come to interview executives of Japanese companies based in the area. But today, my purpose was different: to explore the place firsthand and sit down with Clifford Academia, Vice President for Operations at Aboitiz Economic Estates, to learn what makes this development stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LIMA Estate is a 1,000-hectare mixed-use development located in Lipa and Malvar, Batangas. As the first master-planned central business district (CBD) of its kind in the province, LIMA is not only an industrial powerhouse but also an emerging lifestyle destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving through the estate, I could immediately see that it was different. LIMA is thoughtfully planned, with wide streets and a seamless integration of industrial, commercial, and residential spaces. What struck me most was how alive the community felt. From the moment I arrived, people were out and about \u2014 jogging, biking, and socializing. The place seemed to come to life from morning to afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full td-caption-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"794\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-635x420.jpg 635w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-696x461.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-3-1068x707.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Outlets at LIMA Estate is a favorite destination for local residents and weekend travelers, offering a refreshing open-air setting for shopping, dining, and unwinding.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Before meeting Academia, I decided to grab lunch. As I explored, I noticed that The Outlets @LIMA Estate attracts shoppers looking for great deals on brands like Nike, H&amp;M, Adidas, and PUMA. I ended up having lunch at Ipponyari, a Japanese restaurant that\u2019s become a favorite among locals and expats alike. I couldn\u2019t resist trying their 8-piece Chashu Ramen \u2014 and it certainly lived up to its reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After lunch and a quick walk around The Outlets, I got to experience a glimpse of the Biz Hub \u2014 LIMA Estate\u2019s business core and home to LIMA Tower One, Batangas\u2019 first premium office development. Recently earning both a 5-Star BERDE Certification and a WELL Core Gold v2 Certification, the tower marks the beginning of a dynamic district set to rise in the years ahead. With over 180 companies and 75,000 employees already based in LIMA Estate, it\u2019s easy to see how this area is fast evolving into a thriving business hub in the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conduent, a leading business process outsourcing solutions company from the U.S., recently expanded its operations here, set to bring another 1,500 new jobs to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full td-caption-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-4-1068x602.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>LIMA Tower One offers world-class office spaces for businesses expanding south of Metro Manila\u2014leveraging Batangas\u2019 robust talent pool and the complete ecosystem of services within Biz Hub at LIMA Estate.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConduent\u2019s expansion at LIMA Tower One underscores the growing appeal of Batangas as a strategic investment location, not only for its skilled workforce but also for its exceptional quality of life and infrastructure,\u201d Academia shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What sets LIMA apart is its seamless integration of industrial, commercial, residential, and leisure spaces,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;Global manufacturing facilities now share an address with a 7-tower office park, a 4-star hotel, sprawling green parks, and Batangas\u2019 first and largest outdoor lifestyle mall, The Outlets @LIMA Estate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We\u2019re not just building spaces for business, we\u2019re building communities that can thrive for generations.<\/p><cite><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\"><strong>Clifford Academia<\/strong>, Vice President for Operations at Aboitiz Economic Estates<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Lifestyle Beyond Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Biz Hub at LIMA Estate\u2019s lively, all-encompassing atmosphere is not just a concept, but a reality.
