Aidea’s digital render of FPIP Plaza showcases a modern space designed for leisure, retail, and business.
LOPEZ-LED First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) will soon have a three-story mixed-use hub inside its nearly 600-hectare space in Sto. Tomas, Batangas to serve FPIP locator employees, visitors, and the local community.
The company on September 10 broke ground for FPIP Plaza, a 15,000-square meter space that will house various retail establishments, restaurants, service centers, corporate offices, and government offices upon its completion scheduled in the first quarter of 2026
FPIP Plaza, located at FPIP’s Gate 1, also aims to open doors for more employment opportunities, adding to the over 70,000 employees working at FPIP.
FPIP has partnered with construction firm First Balfour and architectural firm Aidea to develop FPIP Plaza.
“FPIP Plaza is a testament to our desire to create something that is for the community, employees, and locators of FPIP, and even more importantly, the whole of Sto. Tomas and Tanauan, and barangays nearby will have an opportunity to gather and connect with each other. It will continue to support the mission of FPIP — to create jobs, strengthen industry, and modernize the two cities of Sto. Tomas and Tanauan, and make Batangas as the prime industrial corridor of the Philippines,” said Jose Valentina Patangco, FPIP chief commercial officer, at the groundbreaking ceremony.
FPIP is a PEZA-registered ecozone that is home to over 150 world-class locators, including Collins Aerospace, Philippine Manufacturing Co. of Murata Inc., and Dyson.
