Tip, do not use the bridge, use the ground floor and cross the road the queue to access the security can be quite long and take up to 15 minutes at peak time.

They always say different before it's built, after it's built it's different story that's with century properties.

anyway Glorietta 5 is nice and crisp looking but it seems boring, isolated in a out of the way location.

^^ same bridgeway pa rin yun ng dati kaya hindi ko na lang kinunan. :lol:

Glorietta Bridgeway to Landmark will be closed in February according to my sister whos working in Ayala Malls it will be closed to giveway for the construction of the new Glorietta like what they did in the Bridgeway going to SM according to my sister it will reopen in third quarter of 2012 or fourth quarter of 2012 together with the opening of the new Glorietta.:banana::banana:

According to my sister whos working in ayala malls some of the brands in Glorietta 3 and 4 will be relocated in the new glorietta. it will be Zara, Marks and Spencer(it will be the largest M&S store in the Philippines), Mango, Ecco, Lacoste, Gap, Nine West, Marlboro Clasics, Rockport, Dockers, Cinderella, Guess, Dorothy Perkins, Body Shop. While this is the brands in Greenbelt 3, 4 and 5 that will have store also in the new Glorietta Prada, Gucci, Salvatore Ferregamo, Emporio Armani, Marc by Marc Jocobs, Massimo Dutti, Tory Burch, Calvin Klein Jeans, Banana Republic, Fred Perry, Omega, Patek Phillipe Top Shop, Top Man, Springfield, Bally, Furla, Promod. These are the brands inside Rustan's that will transfer in the new Glorrietta Mont Blanc, Tiffany and Company, Cartier, Debenhams, Ermenegildo Zegna. These are the local brands that will have store in the new Glorietta Bench, Human, Kashieca, Penshoppe, Oxygen, For me, Regatta, Folded and Hung, Plains and Prints.

*note SSI Brands is still not Complete. The SSI brands listed is just occupying 60% of the total area they leased in the new Glorietta.

*The new Glorietta is 80% leased even it is set to open 3rd or 4th Quarter next year that why ayala malls have the Brand list that will be inside the new glorietta.

What will happen with Glorietta 3&4, I can see how they will upgrade without major disrumption, that said they have done an excellent job with 1 7 2.

^^
It looks like Glorietta 3 will be demolished to complete the circular rooftop garden. Based on the plan ,Glorietta 1&2 occupies half of the rooftop garden while the rest is Glorietta 3. Maybe they will just renovate Glorietta 4.

Glorietta 3 is indeed going to be demolished as part of this redevelopment.. only Glorietta 4 remains...

I hope they expand the bridge to span the third level too, unlike before where it was quite a bottleneck. A bridge up to the third level makes more sense now that the new Glorietta has a third level, and Landmark is expanding upwards.

Tip, do not use the bridge, use the ground floor and cross the road the queue to access the security can be quite long and take up to 15 minutes at peak time.

So they still maintained the old bridge and not created a new one that would bridge higher floors of Glorietta and SM? :ohno:

This is one of the final links of the MACEA walkway system to the MRT so it would only make sense that it be expanded to accommodate heavy foot traffic, more so once the new Glorietta opens.

I guess the least they can do now is get more security personnel or temporarily relegate more of them to that area during peak hours so they could add more queue lanes to facilitate faster security checks.

OT: I think that security checkpoint is counter-productive. The queue can get very long at times. If you reached that point heading to SM, chances are...at least you already passed through one check point. If you are coming from Greenbelt, before reaching MRT, you already have gone through 4 security checks. Five if you went through Greenbelt 3. You will feel very very safe the time you get to the MRT concourse. :nuts: There's nothing wrong with minding security. But hey, it's too much. We already have an airport which has that redundancy.

@Thomasian: yup, as of the moment, they still use the old bridgeway.

I agree.. they only need to have security checkpoints on the entry points from outside. theres no need from glorietta to landmark or landmark to glorietta because you have already been through 1 checkpoint.

Old Glorietta is a X-Shaped Patterned Mall...The New Glorietta Will Have Circular Layout when G-1,2,3,4,5 Redevelopments are Complete...

Usong Uso na ang Round Shaped Malls sa Pinas Like: Ayala Center Cebu-2012, SM Nautilus Mall-SRP, Cebu in 2013, at NEW GLORIETTA . And it will be Ranked as One of the Largest Malls in the Philippines.

wow! patek phillipe will have 2 stores in ayala center? o lilipat yung nasa greenbelt? i can't imagine kung sino bumibili dyan!!! $30K - $50K ang decent entry level ng relo dyan di ba. o well, the fact na tumagal sila eh proof enough na may mga nakaka-afford.

I wonder when will they demolish Park Square 1 and what's planned to replace it?

^^ up for this.

@Waldenstrom. thanks for sharing. after all this 'facelifting' and adding more floors to its structure, will it still be Landmark? wish that they would really fit out both its exterior and interior.

This is a great store and I hope it becomes iconic in the area

I think they are just adding more floors, don't know what they will be used for.

Agree, Landmark is a great department store, usually the first place I look. The interior looks nice already just hope they clad the exterior.

More Updates Soon...:)

^^ ganda ah... makapunta ngadyan.. hehe...

Parang trinoma ang feel ng new G2. More on pang masa feel.

Looks like Glorietta 5 to me...

looks strikingly similar to robinson's manila

any updates about Holiday Inn?

It is the rightmost building in this picture, you can see that it is already topped-off:

Yea Ryt...Nagkaiba nga lang ang Flooring...:D

TriNoma Feel cya...Dahil Magkamukha sila ng isa sa mga Hallways ng TriNoma...:)

Hopefully Ayala Malls Management...Will Build Chapel in Memory of October 19 Explosions in Glorietta 2 Site...
And it Serves as Chapel for Sunday Masses and to Accomodate Landmark's, Fr. Suarez Masses Every 1st Saturday of the month...
Sana Mai-push nila yun.

^^ IMO, Trinoma looks better and cozier. I dont like the new Glorietta 1, it looks old.

Yung sa Gateway, I think they used a low quality granite. Actually maganda siya ng bago but ng tumagal nagkaroon ng maraming stain ,pumangit at nagmukhang madumi. Yung sa Glorietta , expensive at high quality granite siya, d nga lang plain white yung color kya d mukhang shiny.
Excited ako portion na ito , I think Glorietta 2 ito?

parang it's too white... sana ginawa nilang kamukha ng greenbelt.

^^ i think its nice and modern. the stores are going to be colorful naman. so the white is neutral.

parang kulang sa lighting.

What I appreciate are the spacious hallways. especially that it's a high traffic portion of the mall. And i'm glad National BS will be back to its former site.

mukhang pang masa nga..ang bland ng interiors:ohno:

my thoughts exactly :)

Yeah, kc hindi nman high end mall ang Glorietta. Same lang ang target market nila ng Trinoma.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7032/6482052201_15b8463545_z.jpg

The older glorietta seems to look better than the new one. The new one reminds me of robinsons ermita when it first opened in the 90s. The new G2 looks like a typical SM mall. I dunno maybe Im just expecting something better from ayala. Not excited at all.

parang it's too white... sana ginawa nilang kamukha ng greenbelt.

Would look cozier if they used high gloss black procelaine tiles matched with textured brown. Plus black tiles wont look dirty and the stores and shops will stand out with their bright lightings. They could also have put on coverings on those pillars and not just plain paint.

glorietta will always be glorietta. i feel good doing my shopping at glorietta and greenbelt. imho, these two shopping destinations are unmatchable when it comes to security, comfort and convenience.

what's also good is the ayalas always make innovations and improvements on their shopping malls all over the country.

Yeah, kc hindi nman high end mall ang Glorietta. Same lang ang target market nila ng Trinoma.
pero parang mas upper class pa rin ang crowd ng Glorietta compared to TriNoma.

@Eaton_Square: maliwanag po dun, mukha lang dim kasi camphone lang gamit ko.:cheers:

Ayala developments, be it residential condo's, mix used developments and commercial centers i think have not strayed from their 'classic' themed design in all their projects. They always make typical and conventional designs and just inject a few twists to make it more acceptable and adaptable to the modern times.

I have not seen any development locally that has an 'ultra modern' concept in their projects (including Ayala) as compared to some of our South Eat Asian neighbors. :ohno:

Look at Bangkok, KL and Jakarta, they have countless commercial/office/mix-use/resdl projects that are totally unique and have gone beyond the conventional design, say in its facade at least as what we have here in Manila.

can't seem to shake-off the sudden flashback of the glorietta bombings...

^^ that will never happen again...

can't seem to shake-off the sudden flashback of the glorietta bombings...

what happened in Glorietta can happen anywhere and at any time. such incident (at Glorietta) has not diminished my preference to do my shopping and dining in Glorietta, as well as in Greenbelt. that's why I said: Glorietta will always be Glorietta.

^^ i think after that they learned their lessons...

^^^^

exactly the same reason why we should always be reminded to be extra vigilant so that it won't happen again... anywhere. no malice or pun intended.:)

can't seem to shake-off the sudden flashback of the glorietta bombings...

and the 2009 robbery incident inside the Rolex store in Greenbelt 5

I think CPI's Lifestyle Center and MW's Uptown are unique and very pleasing to the eyes. BTW, I still miss the QUAD days when Ayala Center (MCC) was full of greens.

if its true however lalong gaganda ang Ayala Center sa Makati..lahat new and nice structures..
pero it also means na gigibain ang Landmark?

where did you get this?that's awesome..

^^ what i know hindi gigibain ang landmark, dinadagdagan sya ng floors at magkakafacelift basing on the picture posted by sir xavierdude. i think its also part of the 20 billion peso redevelopment

No ,it's Landmark Makati . Have you seen the elevated walkway and the BSA tower reflection on the glass? The photo includes several retail buildings like the Parkade in BGC. Xavierdude originally posted that photo.

hindi ba bro parang sa olongapo city ata yan just based on the illustration?

if its true however lalong gaganda ang Ayala Center sa Makati..lahat new and nice structures..
pero it also means na gigibain ang Landmark?

where did you get this?that's awesome..

I took that photo from an architecture alumni exhibit in ust. Many soon-to-be constructed and never-before seen projects were actually displayed.

nice! sana yung billboard on Landmark will be LED para magmukhang Shinjuku or Times Square yang area na yan :D

Landmark's modern and glass facade will blend with the nearby Raffles Hotel and The Link/Ansons building.

When you look at the extra floors being added they are following the same line of the current building including the concrete cladding plus the colunms of the current structure, so can't see this design happening.

^^
I think the reason why they followed the existing line and shape of columns was due to structural considerations. It's possible nman to put the cladding away from the wall even up to the edge of the existing concrete canopy to hide the old shape of the structure ,same as what they did in SM North Edsa.

Hope you are right it is a great store inside and the render looks great.

i see..nice job xavierdude and reign for sharing that..

at least makakasabay na ang Landmark Makati sa ganda ng newly-renovated Glorietta and Greenbelt..i just wonder whether the extended floors is a shopping mall or an office hub/BPO office..well either way its ok as long as its gonna look like that..

Ayala Land to spend P60 billion to 'Make it Makati' :cheers: :banana: :banana: :banana:

by Coco Alcuaz | ANC | Thursday | Posted at 03/22/2012 5:23 PM | Updated as of 03/22/2012 | 5:24 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Ayala Land Inc. said Thursday it and Makati Commercial Estates Association will spend P60 billion over the next five years to carve their Makati properties into six districts as it launches a "Make it Happen, Make it Makati" campaign.

The amount, about 95% to be shouldered by Ayala Land, is about a third of the company's total budget for the period, President Antonino Aquino said. Ayala Land's total budget this year, covering construction and acquisitions, is P37 billion, more than a fifth over last year's.

The purpose is to create "opportunities for all" to live, shop and be entertained and work in Makati, Meann Dy, head of strategic land banking, said at a briefing.

Aside from new buildings, part of the plan is extension and improvement of elevated walkways and pedestrian underpasses, she said. Some walkways will have retail space. Underpasses will have exhibits.

"The city of the future is not about cars, it's about pedestrianization," Dy said.

Ayala and Macea are also in talks with the Department of Transportation and Communication regarding a bus rapid transit system that will run the length of Ayala Avenue from Edsa to the former Santa Ana racetrack.

Ayala Land last year agreed to develop the 21-hectare property, with owner Philippine Racing Club Inc., into one of the six districts, focused on entertainment. Dy said talks include where to relocate jeepneys that will be displaced by the system.

The other districts are Ayala Center, the central business district, Ayala Triangle, Makati North and Makati South. Makati North is the area that includes the Convergys, People Support and Solaris buildings. Makati South will be a transport hub on Edsa corner Ayala, including the current site of a Shell station.

"There will be a meeting of minds," Dy said. The BRT is planned to include stops along the Philippine National Railways' Manila line and the LRT-1 on Taft, she said. In a BRT system, buses on a dedicated lane function like a commuter train, with timed stops at specified locations. It's estimated to cost a 10th of a commuter train.

Ayala Land said 200 stores will open in Glorietta 1 and 2 by October, and the malls will be fully open before Christmas, five years after a blast of still-disputed origin prompted the company to demolish and redevelop them. The stores will include a "flagship" National Bookstore, the company said.

Ayala Land said it will launch the "Make it Happen, Make it Makati" slogan and campaign by mid-year, including mobile apps, a website and merchandise such as mugs.

I think the campaign was launched last January, not sure kung naroll out na ito ng todo, Btw, the one who made this is the once responsible din sa "Its more fun in the Philippines" BDO Guerrero. :D

With the developments going around Makati, they will really live up to the expectations ng Tao :D

any updates?

nice job makati & AYALA

Makati is really ahead. thank you AYALA's for fueling this plans to really Happen.

Actually kasi Kaya Hindi Pantay yung Flooring particularly sa 3rd Level Area near SM Bridgeway, it's a Ramp for 3rd Level...Because For Accesibility for SM Bridgeway which is Situated on 3rd Level, Hindi kasi magkapantay ang SM Bridgeway sa Mall Level. Yung sa Ground and 2nd Floors Pantay naman sila.:)

Malapit na...This will be the New Activity Center/Grand Entrance Located Between G1 and G2, the Podium Levels of Holiday inn and Suites Makati...:)

I just learned that Home Center (3rd floor of G4 beside Food Choices) are going to connect it with the new Glorietta 1 with new stores alike. That will be the 3rd floor we'll see on the Glo to SM pathway. BTW National Bookstore calls their newly opened store a temporary one, as the 'flagship' store will have its grand opening in November. It's good that they're opening up new stores month by month and part by part we'll get into it.

Definitely Yes.....3rd Level will look The Same as G1, The Escalator which the Cheesecake ETC. Beneath Formerly Stands is No More But it becomes a Wider Hallway towards G4.

And The New Hallways at G1 will also Open one by One up to Grand Entrance at Palm Drive..:)

^^ yes, it is. grabe ang bilis. lalo akong na-excite mag-open ang new Glorietta.

Yung exterior ba ng RUSTAN'S hindi magkakaroon ng facelift? And how about Glorietta 4? Will they leave it as is, and no renovations at all? tinamad na kasi akong mag backread, hehe

Nice photos @datrocks33.

Holiday Inn will be right across Palm Promenade, a shopping strip w/c is something like Bonifacio High Street Central.

they will reconstruct Glorietta 3 and Rustan's will transfer in Glorietta 3 after the construction so that G4 can be connected to G5

Glorietta is looking good! :cheers:

Landmark is looking worse than ever, I hope that colour is not the final finish. it needs cladding :ohno:

Maygahd ang panget ng paint ng Landmark. They should have painted it with a single color, or much better, cover it all with glass. Try to pimp out Ayala Center for a bit..

look across the road and you will also see the cheapest looking building housing Hermes.
Travel broadens the mind and reminds us how the world has changed architecture but we are still penny pinching with concrete and Boysen

Very trueeee, most of our walls are just plain painted. Nagtitipid sa finishing materials kasi. So cheap looking tuloy.

The landmark exterior is just plain horrible, parang squatter ang dating. Its a pity coz the interior renovation is very nice.

color combination looks like an extension of EDSA Walls....

kulang nalang "MMDA Art".....

Landmark's name is very pretentious considering how cheap its exterior looks. It's more an eyesore than a landmark. What's worse is that it's now a taller eyesore than before.

Kind of disappointed with Holiday Inn as well. It's like another New World Hotel, only cheaper looking. I don't know what's the fascination with concrete facades. So dated.

Because concrete facades are cheaper than all glass

Because concrete facades are cheaper than all glass

Exactly. I also don't think all glass curtains are practical in many locations, thinking of issues with heat and privacy. If the building is situated next to say a golf course like Pacific Plaza it makes sense but if its in a dense area facing other buildings then no.

Think Holiday Inn looks fine for its class of hotel.

Could we consider that Ayala is staying safe IF (I really hope not) any bombing or accident reoccurs?

Apparently not. This is all about budget and costs.

Glass is more expensive than concrete. Architecturally speaking, glass is more pleasing to the eyes so we want more glass than concrete whether in commercial or residential bldgs. I have learned this the hard way when the glass quoted for my residential bldg can already buy an SUV.

That Fairmont and Zuellig buildings must be really expensive.

Can glass take strong wind or damage from a Cat 3 Typhoon or earthquake?

Apparently not. This is all about budget and costs.

Hindi lang yan installation at cleaning kasama pa jan yung overhauling at refeurbishment kapag nababasag o naluluma...:bash:

I was amazed how they magically removed the escalator at Cheesecake Etc. at G4. I checked the tiles and its really like there was no escalator there. I hope to post some of my photos soon. Anyway, will the new Glorietta have a playground area too as back then? I want other children to experience how fun Glo was back then. :)

i think they will, coz Trinoma and Market Market have these small pocket playgrounds in their atrium. Ang sana ibalik din ng Glorietta eh yung water feature nila sa may Atrium before. naalala ko yung Rockwell Powerplant, inalis nila yung nakakagulat na one-shoot fountain feature sa may tapat ng Zara.

Yes I didn't realized that PPM removed that fountain there.. anyway its already old, but is such a memory. I don't think the new Glorietta won't have any big-sized fountain in the atrium, just like Market Market and TriNoMa. Market and TriNoMa has fountains outside its vicinity.

Here's the scale model of the Ayala Center redevelopment:

^^ thanks bro, first time to see this scale model. Too bad the scale model for the mall complex was in monotonous white presentation :lol: maganda pa sana kung all white na lang yung LANDMARK like what was presented sa scale model. It will actually blend somehow kesa naman sa ginagawa nilang exterior renovation that will look like a pariah. :bash:

Likewise, you can see there that Landmark doesn't have the newly added floors. This scale model is the first stage of the redevelopment, remember they're going to redevelop Glo 3 after they're finished with 1 and 2.

No new updates actually. The cladding and painting of Glorietta 1&2 has been done months ago. If you'll see the pedistrian walkway going to SM has been created. Thanks for that.

Are they still in operation? any branch in Makati?

I remember Makati Supermart too...always liked going there to buy essentials....

Are they still in operation? any branch in Makati?

Sa ATC and UniMart na lang ang operational both Supermarket and Coffee Shop...Yung Remaining branch ng Coffee Shop sa Makati ay nalipat sa Cash and Carry called Sizzler's since the Redevelopment.

Trinoma still looks better than the renovated Glorietta. :ohno:

Let's see _zner_.. things can still change cause it's still under construction.

I'm just talking about the newly renovated Glorietta. But am hoping the constructed one will have a better ambiance.

I totally agree. I was disappointed with Glorietta 5.

New navigational markers placed, as you can see it's more comprehensive because the Ayala MRT/SM pathway marker shows Rustans. I therefore conclude that these markers are for the new Glorietta too.

*The markers on Glorietta 3 & 4 are just tarpaulins placed on the ceiling while the marker on the Janylin is the real cast.

Another one: You see those ceilings that are like a grid (mostly used in offices), they will be holes soon. The one you see on Janylin, or in the SM/Ayala MRT pathway, will have the ceilings open, soon.

Are they also going to renovate the old atrium when entering through the rustans store?

Its a part of Glorietta 3 right? I guess it is.. that part of Glorietta is getting rotten too. That will be Phase 2 of the redevelopment

shockkkkkkkk is the only response to Landmarks latest exterior offering for the extra floors built....it was already looking horrid until the pink and white candystripe paint finish and below it the original mocha colour of the original building .and it cannot be waterproofing or undercoat since its already painted in stripes?

just by your description it looks horrid.....pink and white candystripe paint finish...bigtime OMG!!!:lol: hopefully somebody can post some pics.....

baka it will be covered with glass tapos iilawan then ung kulay ng wall shows on the glass? or it could be that the paint you see now is just a sample thingy for visual purpose lng for the artist to decide on the colors? the other side btw has a gray/white color scheme.

I am not a Landmark fan, although I enjoy going there because of Via Mare. I'll hold on to my comment about its facelift until it's finally over.:cheers:

Landmark's 4th floor has been open for about a month now. It's really spacious and it houses the new furniture section of the mall. I'll take some photos when I get back there.

True i really like the gorgeous interiors of the landmark dept store, from the supermarket to the fast food center to the clothes and the household wares and furniture. Ganda. The exact opposite of its exterior which is really really aweful, kinda remind me of isetann quiapo. Really gawdy.

I wish landmark could have just retrofit the exterior with aluminum panels and install huge led screens. I think this will compliment the interiors.

That was my response also. Its beyond belief that they thought that is a nice finish, especially considering its super prime location in Ayala Centre :nuts:

That would look fantastic. we can only hope they come to their senses and do something like that.

Isn't it that Landmark is managed by Ayala? Who owns it anyway?

nice updates. the new Glorietta 1 looks brighter now with those high ceiling and glass skylights.

G1 Looks like ATC's Expansion...Just my Opinion :))
And how About G2 kelan magbubukas??
Matagal na akong Naglulurk dito....then ayan Naparegister na dn ako..:)

Phase 1 - Glorietta 1 & 2
Fairmont Hotel, Holiday Inn, Park Terraces
Expected completion: December 2012

Phase 2 - Glorietta 3
New unannounced hotel/residential twin towers, to mirror Ascott (Glorietta 4)
Bridges to connect Landmark to and from The Link
Completion date: somewhere in 2013

Glorietta 4 will be spared.

I have seen the map, and there's no 4F in the map so I haven't seen any cinema theater.. I hope they would install one because G4 cinemas are getting really rubbish.

Judging only from the pics of G1 and G2, interiors really are bland, lightings are neither dimmed nor bright. Walls are uninspiring, plain painted. In some ways its even worse than the one it replaced. I dunno maybe i was expecting something grander from the design pics i saw years ago. I feel megaworld's malsl have better interiors and so does the new robinsons magnolia. For the new glorietta, again basing on the pics, there is no WOW factor. Its not a place you wanna go back again and again.

i thought they'll be opening the Whole G1-G2 this October 2012? as announced dati..

Phase 1 - Glorietta 1 & 2
Fairmont Hotel, Holiday Inn, Park Terraces
Expected completion: December 2012


Park Terraces Tower 1 won't be turned over until 2015, so I guess this shouldn't be on this list list...

I don't know if the rumors are true from my agent friend working in Ayala Land Premier...Pero ang rumor sa kanila is that the 2nd phase of Park Terraces will be a single-tower development and will be the tallest residential building in Makati surpassing CPI's Gramercy and it will be connected to Glorietta. But it won't be named Park Terraces 2 of course.. What do you think peeps? Sana???

^^ not a bad idea ..:|

Will the new Glorietta have cinemas just like the old Glorietta 1/Quad?

I doubt it too @thescene.. check those large touchscreens because they have floor maps from G to 3F but no F4. In case there's really no cinema in 1 and 2, maybe there will be a cinema in G3 when it is redeveloped.

Ok so they're not redeveloping Glorietta 4 pala? It would stay the way it is? That's weird considering G1-G4 have a cohesive look and feel. With the new look of the newer parts of Glorietta that won't be the case anymore.

G4 has Ascott built above it so they couldn't demolish it and rebuild. They could renovate it though with new tiles etc so it is cohesive with the new areas.

Oh I see, that's sad. :( There is such a huge difference especially on the floor-to-ceiling ratio between the old Glo and the new Glo, I wonder how they're going to fix that.

They have been changing the tiles going to G4 from SM walkway. Anyways, since that they will be opening the 3F in the pathway to SM, we hope to have less traffic in the escalator.

Looks like G1 & G2 will not open WELL before the end of the year. The streets and the exteriors are taking shape but its not yet ready for December. Still they're also doing everything immediately.

Everything should be complete by summer 2013 or so. Before we move on to Phase 2.

Get ready for the new Glorietta

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5843/gloriettapalm.jpg

MANILA, Philippines - The opening of the renovated Glorietta is probably one of the most anticipated events in retail shopping history in the country and judging by the preview of its new look, the wait is all worth it.

"We wanted to be very methodical in our planning," explained Ayala Land executive vice president Bobby Dy during Monday's briefing with members of the media.

"We wanted to make sure that we provide the right product in the market. We also wanted to integrate new uses like hotels and offices, so it took us some time to be able to put together the right product for our consumers," he said.

Going green

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/135/gloriettawater.jpg

Ayala Land has put sound environmental practices as the foundation for its renovation plan. Lush gardenscapes would greet shoppers from the outside, while a water feature delights inside.

The new Glorietta Activity Center, meanwhile, has a sweeping grand wall made of wood and makes use of natural light.

Shopping and dining haven

Of course, the interiors will be for naught without the leading retail brands. One need not worry, though, as the new Glorietta will not only house the flagship stores of the country's most popular brands, but will introduces more new foreign brands as well like Bershka, Stradivarius, Vince Camuto and Gant Shirtmakers.

This is not only true for retail shopping, but for dining establishments, too, like Wee Nam Kee, Tong Yang, Watami and Chucky Cheese.

"People look for different experiences. There are days when you want to spend your time outdoors and indoors. I think the diversity of experiences actually provides numerous options to people," Dy said.

More things to come

http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1923/newglorietta.jpghttp://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1923/newglorietta.jpg

These new features are part of the first half of the first phase of Ayala Land's Glorietta renovation effort. For this, the company has invested P20 billion.

For the second half of this first phase, three hotels (Fairmont, Holiday Inn and Raffles Hotel), two new offices that cater to BPOs, and residential developments (Park Terraces and Garden Terraces) are set to rise within the 34,000-square meter commercial expanse.

Dy said this integration of business, shopping, dining and entertainment is part of Ayala Land's aim to offer consumers convenience. Likewise integral to this are the connecting bridgeways from Ayala Center to the Makati Central Business District and the accessibility of public transport (i.e., MRT, taxi hubs, and business terminals).

"(This is) the most ambitious that Ayala Land has taken on," Dy said, and we can't wait for the new Glorietta to finally open its doors come December.

Ayala redevelopment on track
By Jenniffer B. Austria | Manila Standard Today | Tuesday | Posted on Oct. 30, 2012 at 12:01am

Property giant Ayala Land Inc. said Monday it is on track with the P28.5-billion redevelopment of the Ayala Center that involves the construction of new residential, hotel and office projects.

Ayala Land president and chief executive Antonino Aquino said in a press briefing the company was ready to open a major portion of redevelopment project in the last two months of 2012 and the early part of 2013.

“As we pursue our growth strategy with the development of other business districts in Metro Manila and across the country, we will continue to enhance Makati so it maintains its place as the premier destination in the Philippines,” Aquino said.

Ayala Land will reopen Glorietta 1 and 2 in December and turn over two office buildings atop the shopping mall next month.

Glorietta 1 and 2 will have a gross floor area of 54,000 square meters while the two office buildings will offer 50,000 sq. m. of leasable area for business process outsourcing companies.

Two high-end hotels, namely the Suites and Fairmont Makati and Raffles Makati, will open in December while Holiday Inn and Suites is slated for commercial operations in April 2013. The three hotels will add another 600 rooms to Ayala Land’s portfolio.

The average room rate for the 280-room Fairmont Hotel and 32-room Raffles Makati Hotel is $220 a night compared with $130 a night for Holiday Inn.

Ayala Land is set to shortly launch a new residential project targeting the high-end market. The Garden Towers, a two-tower condominium project, is ready for turnover by 2019.

The first tower will offer 340 units with prices ranging from P10 million for a one-bedroom unit to P30 million for a three-bedroom unit.

Ayala Land first announced the redevelopment of Ayala Center in 2010 covering the initial phase of the whole 24-hectare Ayala Center.

P28.5B Ayala Center redevelopment takes shape

By Doris C. Dumlao | Philippine Daily Inquirer | Monday | October 29th, 2012 | 11:22 pm

The P28.5-billion redevelopment of Ayala Land Inc.’s “crown jewel,” Ayala Center, has taken shape with the debut of two upscale hotels, two new office buildings and a revitalized Glorietta shopping center before the year ends.

Local property giant ALI is also set to launch this November a new high-end two-tower residential development, Garden Towers, the first skyscraper of which will cost P3 billion to build. The launch of the new residential project under the Ayala Land Premier brand follows the rollout of the three-tower Park Terraces where 1,128 units are now 84-percent sold since the first tower was unveiled in 2010.

By December, the 32-room all-suite Raffles Makati and the 280-room Fairmont Hotel will open their doors to affluent business and leisure travelers—the newest luxury accommodations to be built in the Makati central business district in nearly two decades. They will share a 30-story building with high-end serviced apartment Raffles Residences with 237 units, of which 110 units will be included in ALI’s hotel inventory. Raffles Residences will occupy the 11th to 30th floors, Raffles Makati, the 9th to 10th floors while Fairmont will be at the 3rd to 8th floors.

By April 2013, a third hotel brand—the 348-room mid-budget Holiday Inn and Suites Makati, which will be directly connected to the Glorietta hub—will also open for business.

“This is the most ambitious program Ayala has done,” ALI president Antonino Aquino told a press briefing. “We’re almost complete and about to inaugurate various components.”

Raffles will offer accommodations starting at $350 a night while Fairmont will offer at the $200 to $220 price points. Holiday Inn will offer accommodations for $130 a night.

“As we pursue our growth strategy with the development of other business districts in Metro Manila and across the country, we will continue to enhance Makati so it maintains its place as the premiere destination in the Philippines,” Aquino said.

“Makati began the trend of master-planned communities in the Philippines over 50 years ago. It will remain a prime example of sustainable urbanization and the main vehicle for transformation this year is the Ayala Center.”

The Ayala Center makeover is seen boosting ALI’s recurring revenues. In addition to the completion this December of the Glorietta redevelopment, with a gross floor area of 54,000 square meters of retail space, the ambitious redevelopment also includes the addition of two office towers with a gross floor area of 50,000 sqm. The office towers will cater to business process outsourcing firms.

For the Glorietta shopping center, which has 650 existing stores, 214 new stores will be added. The complex will also have a “re-energized” activity center for diverse, round-the-clock events.

This redevelopment plan, the first phase of ALI’s long-term master plan for Ayala Center, covers only a third of the 24-hectare prime property, Aquino said. It is also part of ALI’s P60-billion investment plan for six major districts in Makati for the next five years.

While this phase of the Ayala Center redevelopment focuses on the area closer to Pasay road, ALI reserves the landbank nearer to the Ayala Ave. side for future phases of redevelopment.

On the residential component, the first tower of Park Terraces, which was launched in 2010, will be ready for turnover to residents in 2015; its Point Tower in 2016 and the third tower in 2017.

ALI to complete Ayala Center facelift by yearend
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña | The Philippine Star | Tuesday | Updated October 30, 2012 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Propety giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is set to complete the first phase of the P28.5-billion redevelopment of its crown jewel, the Ayala Center, by December this year, in line with its goal to convert Makati City into a premier regional center in Southeast Asia.

In a briefing yesterday, ALI president and chief executive Antonino T. Aquino said the Ayala Center facelift is the group’s most ambitious program and biggest investment in a singular area to date.

The first phase will bring to the market 214 new retail outlets with a gross floor area of 54,000 square meters and two office buildings with a GFA of 50,000 sqm, new residential towers and three new hotels – Holiday Inn & Suites, Fairmont Makati and Raffles Makati – offering a total of 660 additional rooms.

Aquino said the project ensures the transformation of Ayala Center into Makati’s cosmopolitan lifestyle hotspot with a captive market.

“This is consistent with ALI’s thrust of continually developing large-scale, mixed-use urban hubs in the country. As we pursue our growth strategy with the development of other business districts in Metro Manila and across the country, we will continue to enhance Makati so it maintains its place as the premiere destination in the Philippines,” Aquino said.

“Makati began the trend of masterplanned communities in the Philippines over 50 years ago. It will remain a prime example of sustainable urbanization, and the main vehicle for transformation this year is the Ayala Center,” Aquino added.

Aquino said the reinvigorated Glorietta will offer three floors of retail, a new activity center, and two levels of basement parking when it opens its doors in December. The redevelopment cost was pegged at P3.1 billion.

Encouraged by brisk sales of the upscale Park Terraces, Ayala Land Premier will soon launch Garden Towers, a two-tower residential project slated for turnover to buyers in 2019.

Bobby Dy, head of ALI’s Residential Business Group, said the first tower will comprise 340 units with an average size of 140 square meters. Unit prices range from P10 million to P140 million.

Dy said the special units will be sold for P100 million to P140 million each or P175,000 per sqm.

The Park Terraces is now 84 percent sold since its launch in 2010. Its first tower will be turned over to residents in 2015 and the two other towers by 2016 and 2017.

Also to open in December are the 280-room Fairmont Hotel and the 32-room Raffles Makati All suite-hotel to cater to affluent business and leisure travelers. Both hotels, accessible from Makati Avenue, are the newest luxury accommodations to rise in the last two decades in Makati.

The two hotels will share a 30-story tower with Raffles Residences Makati which will occupy the 11th to the 30th floors.

By April 2013, the 348-room Holiday Inn and Suites Makati, one of the most recognized brands globally, will offer spacious guest rooms and comfortable work spaces to both business and leisure travelers.

The Ayala Center redevelopment forms part of the P60-billion five-year capital expenditure program for six distinct and complementary districts. The five other districts include Makati North (young and creative), Makati central business district (business), Ayala Triangle Gardens (urban oasis), Makati South (transport hub), and Sta.Ana (Makati’s entertainment district) covering a total of 70 hectares.

That and your news excites us too, VP Dy. :)

The new Glorietta opens on November 5! :banana:

Thank goodness! That's just 5 days away! :banana: :banana:

is it the expectation by consumers that Glorietta/Greenbelt be the best and most sophisticated in the country..? Is that also the thinking of the Zobels? Im not interested in the foot traffic statistic..SM will always win that. Im asking about style, quality and sophistication or are Glorietta/Greenbelt hedging bets by catering to most incomes.

I think we will soon see the answer partially in Glorietta when we see how much retailers have spent on their furnishings. Glorietta 5 individual store interiors are very much like Greenhills...very disappointing...Its the finish for the suburbs but not for a commercial complex in the CBD.

What is this? :cheers:

That is true. But not every store in the new mall should look cheap. As I saw in the stores that will open, it would be a mixture. It will make Glo look somehow like TriNoMa (classy) and Market (substandard).

these three factors has always been Greenbelt for me...including ambiance for both inside and outside.....

ganda parang rollercoaster :)

Here's what APMC or ALI would obviously think: as long as these stores can pay rent, its fine.

Exactly, Greenbelt is the high end mall in Ayala Center, Glorietta should have a mixture of stores/restaurants. The old Glorietta was perfect for me, hopefully the new one will follow the same formula.

From Glorietta's Official Twitter Account: "The Vibe is coming your way starting November 5! Stay tuned for updates on the new Glorietta.:)"

Pagbubukas naba 'to? or announcement pa lang? :)

Its already an opening. They posted a photo of CafeFrance on their FB fan page, a resto to watch out on Nov 5 too.

Glorietta 5 was meant to be a temporary facility to house the Glorietta 1&2 retailers while the new mall is being constructed. Knowing that their stores are just temporary, retailers will not spend so much on their Glorietta 5 store interiors. They'd rather use the money in their ultimate stores, back in Glo 1&2. Case in point, the Karimadon store in the new Glorietta is really impressive. Karimadon's store interior, layout and size make you think that the brand is upscale when it's really not.

That is true. But not every store in the new mall should look cheap. As I saw in the stores that will open, it would be a mixture. It will make Glo look somehow like TriNoMa (classy) and Market (substandard).

TriNoma is def not classy. It's floor to ceiling height is too low, hindi pulido ang finishings ng mall and some parts of the mall look like a "tiangge".

For me a classy mall has to be "consistently beautiful" all throughout/ inside and out, walang areas na out-dated at pangit. The only truly classy Ayala Mall's I've seen are Greenbelt 3,4 and 5, Bonifacio High Street and the retail component of Serendra.

Resorts World Manila is high end, too.

Ayala Land to launch refurbished Makati commercial center in Dec.
by VS | GMA News | Tuesday | October 30, 2012 12:45pm

Ayala Land Inc. on Tuesday said it is launching a refurbished Ayala Center including a redeveloped Glorietta Mall in December, noting the capital expenditure for the mixed-use project is estimated at P285 billion.

:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

^^ wow this is good news indeed!

i hope the new glorietta can match the modern interiors of Robinsons Magnolia and Lucky Chinatown Mall, eastwood mall...

can anyone correctly say the total land area of Ayala Center? the article says 24 hectares but i think it is close to 50 hectares. i used wikimapia as my tool for guessing the land area. i have derived that it is 4 times bigger the size of the Serendra complex, hence i quote it as 50.

so is this correct? ...thanks in advance!

Some news: Glorietta 1 will open in Nov. 5, Glorietta 2 in Dec. 1. Meaning, they're obviously not done yet with the whole and they're prioritizing that part beside SM. We'll see it as a whole this December. Wondering if any renovations in the Activity Center and in Glorietta 4 will be done to make it atleast the same with the look of the newly built ones.

Nilalagyan na ng signage ang New Glorietta. Major overtime!

^ so the area which was formerly part of the big Activity Center won't be an Activity Center anymore? Confused. LOL.

Grabe naman ang pagmamadali nila for tomorrow. They could have pushed back the date to Nov 12.

Looks like it.. do you think they will take off that large wood division in the Activity center?

^^ Nice update.. I think Glorietta will look really good once completed. I like the contrast between the bright white and wood style cladding. Lots of natural light also. :cheers:

Is the activity center the central atrium area ?

Parang that area na nasa photo where they're rushing the paint job and the installation of floor tiles is Glorietta 2 and isn't opening tomorrow?
