Traffic in and around the estate is very important, so we have our own traffic management team that ensures smooth flow. They work closely with the local government for coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, we\u2019ve implemented road network improvements to make sure that as we expand, the infrastructure keeps up. For utilities, we have our own water and power systems, as well as a wastewater treatment facility, so we can maintain consistent service. We want to make sure the estate runs smoothly as it grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any new facilities or amenities being built to enhance the experience for tenants, workers, and residents?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are several. One big improvement is the expansion of Biz Hub at LIMA Estate, which offers more retail, dining, and recreational spaces. We are also developing more open spaces for walking and biking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full td-caption-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-651x420.jpg 651w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-600x387.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-696x449.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Lima-Estate-photo-2-1068x689.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Biz Hub at LIMA Estate is the heart of a dynamic business district\u2014where commercial, residential, institutional, and lifestyle spaces seamlessly converge to complement and elevate the vibrant industrial community of LIMA Estate.<\/em>\u00a0| All photos: Aboitiz Economic Estates<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the program for the industrial estate is engagement with the companies, where we host sports fests for employees.

Being adjacent to the estate means you can really achieve that live-work-play arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already started turning over homes and are integrating residents into the community.

Within it, there are two main components: the Industrial Hub and the Biz Hub, which is the central business district (CBD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the Biz Hub, you have several commercial components \u2014 The Outlets, LIMA Exchange for essentials, Holiday Inn and Suites, LIMA Tower One, the Aboitiz Pitch, and soon the golf driving range. Biz Hub is really your CBD \u2014 it\u2019s like BGC, where you have your high street, offices, hotels, and recreational areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I noticed there are a lot of students. Are there schools within or near the estate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside LIMA, there are about 27 universities, plus many elementary and high schools. Inside the mall, we have Edustria, a senior high school established through a joint venture between Far Eastern University and the Technological Institute of the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They focus on preparing graduates to work within the industrial estate, and many of their on-the-job training programs have successfully led to employment here. We\u2019re also working to bring in more educational institutions and have a dedicated training center for partnerships with schools across the province. Also, the Batangas State University \u2013 LIMA Campus will open its doors next year, welcoming its first batch of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We believe the way to really help the country is to bring development and economic activity to the countryside.<\/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\">What about healthcare?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a full-service hospital right across from the estate, so access to medical care is really convenient for everyone here \u2014 employees, residents, even visitors.
