Robinsons brings mall projects to Malabon

MANILA, Philippines - Gokongwei-led Robinsons Land Corp. is invading Malabon, one of the most highly populated areas in Metro Manila with the construction of the two-level Robinsons Town Mall.

Robinsons Town Mall, the 17th mall in RLC’s growing chain of shopping malls, will rise on a 23,000 squaremeter lot along Gov. Pascual and Crispin Sts., Tinajeros, Malabon.

The mall, which will have a gross floor area of 17,104.83 sqm., will be home to more than 250 tenants.

“Given the population density and the relatively few malls in Malabon, we believe there is an opportunity to put up a community mall that will address the basic needs of residents not just of Malabon but even Navotas and parts of Valenzuela and Caloocan,” said Arlene G. Magtibay, RLC general manager for commercial centers.

Malabon, which has more than 350,000 residents, is home to many small and medium enterprises.

The city of Malabon has originally been regarded as traditional fishing village. The past years, however, have seen the rise of various businesses and industries, which is a clear proof that it has indeed come a long way.

Magtibay said Robinsons Town Mall would be “substantially elevated” from the street level to ensure that the structure will remain flood-free.

The mall will also have ample parking space for both private cars and public transport.

Robinsons Land is the company behind the residential condominium development of:

• The Magnolia Residences in New Manila, Quezon City

• The Sapphire Bloc in Ortigas Center Pasig

• Gateway Regency in Pioneer Mandaluyong
