Galleria Cebu: A dynamic new hub in the Queen City of the South
MANILA, Philippines - Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) is one of Cebu City’s key partners in creating a vibrant and dynamic urban center of the future. As a progressive developer that invests in better, more comprehensive and inclusive urban design, RLC sets standards so that the communities it builds do not deteriorate easily or succumb to the problems that can lead to urban decay. Through careful and intelligent planning, the objective of RLC is to effectively improve quality of life. The goal is to positively affect not only the people who invest and live within their developments, but also the lives of people in surrounding neighborhoods.
REINVENTION, REVITALIZATION & RENEWAL
This year, RLC is set to open Robinsons Galleria Cebu, its biggest mall outside Metro Manila. The mall is a key component of a mixed-use development that will also include the second Summit Hotel in Cebu and two residential condominium buildings, as well as an office building for business process outsourcing firms.
The six-story commercial building stands on a 4.7-hectare lot along General Maxilom Avenue in the North Reclamation Area. It reinvents, revitalizes and increases property values in an area of Cebu City that was previously underutilized. Standing out in an erstwhile industrial zone, the distinctive RLC development gentrifies the neighborhood with its world-class architecture and landscape design.
Robinsons Galleria Cebu is expected to attract shoppers and tourists from nearby government offices, consulates, churches, hotels, shipping terminals and schools. It is envisioned to thrive as a hub of business activity and cultural exchange.
Robinsons Galleria Cebu’s anchor tenants will include Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket, True Value, Robinsons Appliances, Daiso, and Toys “R” Us. It will also have six cinemas, including two 3D theaters, with a total seating capacity of 1,774. Of these, Cinemas 1 and 6 have been designated as VIP cinemas and each will be equipped with a wide screen, wide chairs and Atmos surround-sound systems. A spacious area has been set aside to function as a cinema lounge that will serve all theaters. Apart from providing comfortable seating for moviegoers waiting for their films to be screened, the lounge will house sandwich bars, snack stands and other food outlets.
The mall will have over 300 tenants offering an eclectic mix of popular international and local brands. Tenants will also include homegrown Cebuano retail shops, restaurants, amusement centers and new entertainment attractions.
RLC’ s sustained investments in Cebu City via Robinsons Galleria Cebu and other projects signify the company’s commitment to contributing to the city’s robust economic growth. RLC supports the Queen City’s vibrant retail industry as well as its booming property, business and tourism sectors.
