Property developer Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) said it is set to open a major commercial development, Ayala Malls Arca South, in Taguig City by December 2025.
The mall, which will be the central hub of the 74-hectare Arca South estate, will feature a mix of local and global brands, restaurants, entertainment options and open civic spaces. It is designed to offer a walkable and community-focused experience.
“The first phase is launching at the end of the year, and it will be a reflection of a new way of thinking about what community centers are, most especially destination centers,” said Mariana Zobel de Ayala, ALI’s head of leasing and hospitality group.
“We envision Ayala Malls Arca South as the ultimate destination marketplace — fresh produce, flowers and plants, crafts, pa-luto, and coffee roasteries — all anchored on the best of the Philippines. If we succeed, it will be a place people will go out of their way to travel to,” she said.
Among the features of the new mall are a food hall with various cuisines, a market hall offering regional delicacies and cook-to-order meals, and an artisanal coffee hub with working pods for professionals and digital nomads.
ALI is developing the Arca South estate to become a major business and residential district, similar to the Makati central business district and Bonifacio Global City.
Arca South is also seeing the ongoing development of six residential projects by Ayala Land Premier, Alveo and Avida, as well as healthcare facilities, retail centers and sports and event venues.
The estate will also benefit from improved transport links, including the future Taguig City Integrated Terminal Exchange (TCITx), which will connect the area to key highways and rail systems.
Ayala Malls Arca South is part of a broader plan to turn Arca South into a fully integrated urban community with homes, offices, shops and public spaces.
