INSIDER SPOTLIGHT
Rooted in the industrial backbone of LIMA Estate, the seventy-hectare Biz Hub is now a fully formed district where businesses, communities, and lifestyle converge seamlessly.
Why it matters
Biz Hub was developed to support nearly two hundred locators and seventy-five thousand workers within LIMA Estate—creating a complete ecosystem that allows talent and industry to flourish without the need to migrate to the capital.
What began as supporting infrastructure has transformed into a dynamic urban district catalyzing countryside progress.
What they’re saying
“Biz Hub at LIMA Estate is our commitment to decentralizing progress,” Clifford Academia, vice president and head of operations for Aboitiz Economic Estates, said in a press release on Dec. 4, 2025.
“We are building a world-class business district in the countryside—one that empowers industries, elevates communities, and proves that global standards of development can thrive wherever there is vision, talent, and purpose.”
The big picture
Biz Hub’s ecosystem spans retail, offices, hospitality, education, and residential communities—forming a self-sustaining environment designed to uplift both businesses and nearby towns.
The retail engine
LIMA Exchange and The Outlets at LIMA Estate—South Luzon’s largest outdoor mall—have become regional magnets, serving workers, travelers, and neighboring communities.
A rising office hub
LIMA Tower One is home to global and local firms including Conduent, Revolve, Fusion Node, and McTon Pharma, bringing high-value tech and services jobs to Batangueños. It is also the first WELL Gold Core v2-certified and BERDE 5-Star office building in Batangas.
Hospitality meets industry
Holiday Inn Batangas LIMA Park—the province’s first international four-star hotel—supports the estate’s growing business and tourism economy.
Talent pipeline for the future
The Batangas State University – LIMA Campus, the country’s first Industry-Based Learning Hub, immerses students directly in real-world industrial environments, co-developing future-ready Filipino professionals.
Housing that anchors communities
The Villages at LIMA Estate offers modern residential spaces designed for workers, families, and professionals seeking a complete township lifestyle.
What’s next
A major infrastructure boost is coming: the Manila-Batangas Bugtong-na-Pulo–STAR Toll Interchange, opening in 2027.
The project will provide direct expressway access to Biz Hub, enhancing mobility, tourism, and logistics efficiency across Batangas and Southern Luzon.
The bottom line
As a fast-rising business district anchored in innovation, connectivity, and community growth, Biz Hub at LIMA Estate is reshaping what development looks like in the countryside—and positioning Batangas as a prime investment destination beyond Metro Manila. —Vanessa Hidalgo | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
