Megaworld opens 3 community malls
Urban township developer Megaworld Corporation has opened three new community malls in Makati and Alabang — bringing its nationwide chain to 17 full-scale and community malls under the Megaworld Lifestyle Malls brand.
In a statement, Megaworld said the three new community malls offer a total of 26,500 square meters of commercial and retail spaces.
The three new malls – San Lorenzo Place and Three Central in Makati City, and The Village Square in Alabang are dubbed “neighborhood commercial centers” for providing shopping necessities to those who live and work within the community.
“Smaller than the usual full-scale malls, our community malls still bear the signature brand of our Megaworld Lifestyle Malls,” said Megaworld Senior Vice President and Megaworld Lifestyle Malls Head Kevin L. Tan.
He added that, “they primarily cater to the surrounding communities of each location, providing accessibility to a variety of dining, shopping, wellness and service options.”
San Lorenzo Place along EDSA corner Chino Roces Avenue in Makati City is a two-level community mall that houses Shopwise Express supermarket, National Bookstore, The Medical City Clinic, Watsons, McDonald’s, Tim Hortons, as well as other restaurants, coffee shops, health and wellness stores, and laundry shops, among others.
Three Central, on the other hand, is a two-level community mall located at the podium area of Three Central residential condominium along Valero Street in Salcedo Village, Makati City. Targeting the residential and office communities of Salcedo Village, the mall is anchored by its own Marketplace by Rustan’s Supermarket, restaurants and coffee shops, and health and wellness shops.
The Village Square Alabang is also a two-level community mall that is within a short distance to some of Alabang and Parañaque’s upscale villages.
Currently, it is home to SM Hypermarket, DIY Store and some popular restaurants and fast-food chains. It is also directly connected to a 12-level BPO office tower and a fourstory parking facility.
Megaworld also recently opened its first full-scale mall outside of Luzon, the Festive Walk Mall in Iloilo Business Park, which offers 90,000 square meters of retail and commercial spaces. (JAL)
