Batangas is redefining what progress looks like outside Metro Manila—and at the heart of this transformation is Biz Hub at LIMA Estate, a fast-rising Central Business District in the South. Emerging from the industrial strength of LIMA Estate, Biz Hub has rapidly evolved into a thriving city of opportunities, where lifestyle, business, and community life converge seamlessly. Today, it stands as proof that world-class growth does not have to be confined to the capital—it can flourish in the countryside where talent, industry, and infrastructure come together naturally.
Biz Hub was born out of a clear need: to build a complete ecosystem that supports the nearly 200 locators employing 75,000 Filipinos within LIMA Estate. As the industrial hub continued to expand, so did the demand for residential, commercial, and institutional developments that would future-proof businesses and uplift the communities across Batangas. What began as a support system for industry has now transformed into a dynamic modern district—a place where progress flows into every aspect of daily life.
“Biz Hub at LIMA Estate is our commitment to decentralizing progress,” said Clifford Academia, Vice President and Head of Operations for Aboitiz Economic Estates. “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. LIMA Estate’s evolution reflects the future of Philippine growth: inclusive, connected, and driven by innovation.”

Education and Innovation: Batangas State University – LIMA Campus
A major milestone for LIMA is the establishment of the Batangas State University – LIMA Campus, the Philippines’ first Industry-Based Learning Hub. It closes the gap between classroom training and actual industry needs by immersing students—especially future engineers—in real operations.
This model enables locators to co-develop talent, collaborate on research, and drive innovation, ensuring a steady pipeline of job-ready Filipino professionals who can compete on a regional scale.
Batangas State University – LIMA Campus is located within Biz Hub at LIMA Estate, the premier Central Business District – south of Metro Manila, where lifestyle, progress, and sustainability can seamlessly come together.
Residential: The Villages at LIMA Estate
Rounding out the live-work-play environment is The Villages at LIMA Estate, a 49-hectare residential enclave developed by Aboitiz Land. Designed as a safe, modern community close to workplaces and amenities, it elevates liveability, enhances work-life balance, and solidifies LIMA as a complete, future-ready township built for families and professionals.

Paving the Way to a Progressive Future with the MBBP–STAR Toll Interchange
Progress continues to accelerate with the upcoming Manila-Batangas Bugtong-na-Pulo (MBBP)–STAR Toll Interchange, set to open in 2027.
