Estrella Street

Estrella Street is a short stretch of road (less than 1 kilometer in length) that travels north-south through Rockwell Center in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. It runs from its intersection with Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), connected to it on the north side by the Estrella Flyover, up to its northernmost point at J.P. Rizal Avenue on the south bank of the Pasig River. The street forms the border between Makati Población, where Rockwell Center is situated, and Bel-Air to the west and Guadalupe Viejo to the east. It also serves as the boundary between the gated village of Bel-Air and Palm Village.
