new city mall

Does anybody have info on the new mall being built on the north side, when it opens, what shops, will it have a cinema ??

 

Have heard only(not verified) Burger King

 

If they ever get it completed. They look to be no further along with the building than when I was first here in June of last year.

 

CityMall Commercial Centers Inc. (CMCCI), is a subsidiary of DoubleDragon Properties Corp. (DD), and will serve as the umbrella company for all CityMall community mall projects in the country. CMCCI is 66% owned by DD and 34% owned by SM Investments Corp. (SMIC).

CityMall is envisioned to become one of the largest branded independent community mall chains in the Philippines with floor area of 5,000 – 10,000 square meters, and will be located in prime locations mostly in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Generally, all CityMalls have the same theme, color and look, making the mall design a brand itself. The food area will be a Food Court concept, spaces will be provided to the top fastfood brands such as Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Highlands Coffee. CityMall will also provide spaces for popular non-food anchor retail tenants that will complement the whole development.

Another distinction of CityMall is the provision of ample parking space for motorcycles and bicycles, a great convenience to its target market.

CityMall is “Greenergized”. It is equipped with solar panels and rain water collection system to help save Mother Earth and optimize efficiency.

CityMall is poised to become the “Everyday Mall” of the future.

 

I thought it was Completed and just waiting an opening Date.

 

I don't know for sure but from what I could see from the street it didn't look anywhere near completion. Of course maybe they are hiding all the work being done??? Maybe someone with some inside knowledge could fill us all in. I personally want to see it open ASAP and give Robinson's some competition.

Note: You may be correct JP there are a few stores that have closed or are in the process of closing at Robinson's place. Maybe they are looking forward to moving to the new CityMall??? I noticed that happening to stores in the Angeles City SM when the Ayala mall opened. Several Stores jumped to the newer property.

 

I would hope it would help quite a bit with cross town traffic. If you are coming from the North, probably no reason to drive to the southern edge of the city. Just have to see.

 

I am worried about traffic congestion there they did not consider widning of the highways when 1st built

 

Time will tell, but I suspect you are correct. Traffic will probably get worse in the general vicinity of the new mall.
