Ayala phase 2 expansion to kick off next year
The Freeman
Friday, December 28, 2007

After the completion of the lagoon development of Ayala Center Cebu, which is expected by March or April, Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI) will kick off another expansion plan of the shopping mall area pursuing the original plan of developing the Cebu Business Park’s (CBP) 9.6 hectare super block.


In an interview with CHI president and chief executive officer (CEO) Francis O. Monera, he said that the Phase 2-B project .will be pursued by the company next year, starting with a study on how to develop a concept for another shopping mall expansion

CHI is going to finish its P850 million expansion project of Ayala Center including the completion of the Ayala Center expansion building, and the transformation of its lagoon area to a chic Food and Beverage (F&B) strip.

According to Monera, details of the upcoming expansion will be determined after the design study will be finished.

This means that after the face lift of Ayala Center Cebu with the opening of its new expansion building in the middle of this year, and the unveiling of re-designed al fresco lagoon area, a more expanded shopping mall will be seen by Cebuanos in the next few years.

The Ayala Center Cebu, which is the crown jewel of the 50-hectare Cebu Business Park (CBP), has occupied only 3.5 hectares of the CBP super block, excluding the lagoon redevelopment.

With this, CHI still has ample of remaining lots to be development in the super block area to maximize the entire 9.6 hectares.

“The whole super-block is under review and is subject to design study. The study will start next year,” Monera said.

The P600 million lagoon redevelopment project will have a total leasable area of 8,6000 square meters, about 70 percent of these leaseable areas are already reserved by new tenants, Monera said.

In 2006, Ayala Center Cebu contributed a total revenue of P398 million to CHI. While Ayala Food and Entertainment Center (AFEC), together with its theater operations under the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cebu Leisure Company, Inc. (CLCI) reported a P100 million contribution to CHI’s total revenue in 2006.

The year 2006 was the most celebrated year for CHI, as it raked a one billion peso mark in revenue, with 76 percent increase of its income, a 10-year high in the company’s book history. – Ehda M. Dagooc

Cebu Holdings Inc. planning P2B mall expansion
By MALOU M. MOZO
Sun.Star Staff Reporter

Following the completion of the lagoon area of the Ayala Center Cebu within the first quarter of 2008, mall developer Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI) is planning another expansion for the shopping mall to complete the original development of Cebu Business Park (CBP).

CHI president and chief executive officer Francis Monera said the P2 billion phase two project will begin by March or April next year. It will start with a study on how to develop a concept for another shopping mall expansion.

"The whole super-block is under review and will be a subject of a design study. The study will start next year," Monera told reporters Wednesday.

He said details of the upcoming expansion will be determined after the design study will be finished.

This means that following the "face lift" of the Ayala Center Cebu mall—with the opening of the three-story annex in mid-2007 and the re-designed al fresco lagoon area—Cebuanos will soon enjoy a more expanded shopping mall in the next few years, completing the development of CBP's 9.6-hectare "super" block.

The Ayala mall, excluding the lagoon area, sits on a 3.5-hectare lot at the CBP.

This will give CHI more lots for the “super” block to maximize the entire 9.6 hectare property, Monera said.

CHI is bent on finishing its P850-million expansion project for Ayala Center Cebu, including the completion of the mall's annex and the transformation of its lagoon area to a "chic" food and beverage strip.

The P600 million, two-hectare lagoon redevelopment project (currently ongoing) will have a total leasable area of 8,600 square meters, about 70 percent of which, were already reserved by new tenants, said Monera.

The expansion and renovation of its mall in Cebu is part of CHI holding company, Ayala Land Inc.’s efforts to stamp the Ayala mall brand on all its malls, which have been regarded as the Ayala retail group.

Ayala malls include the Ayala Center Cebu, Glorietta, Greenbelt, Ayala Alabang and Market Market.

Ayala Center Cebu is the only mall found outside Metro Manila.

In 2006, the Cebu mall contributed a total revenue of P398 million to CHI.

Meanwhile, the Ayala Food and Entertainment Center, together with its theater operations under the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cebu Leisure Company, Inc. reported a P100 million contribution to CHI’s total revenue in 2006.

By the end of 2006, CHI earned over P1 billion in revenues with an income growth of 76 percent—a 10-year high in the company’s books.

We really cannot say with finality which is which. Ayala will just continue to develop and develop ad infinitum. Take as an example what's being planned about Glorietta, everything will be redeveloped.


AYALA CENTER REDEVELOPMENT: Greening the Philippines

As the leading developer in the Philippines, Ayala Land Inc. is also at the forefront of sustainable design. Glorietta’s mixed-use redevelopment employs a “green strategy” that serves the company’s goals of creating energy efficiency and engaging the community. The green roof doubles as an urban park, turning retail focus outward and capturing foot traffic from a nearby mass transit station. Ramping systems establish a natural pedestrian thoroughfare, connecting the retail center to adjacent hotel and office towers. Natural ventilation and daylighting save energy while creating a comfortable environment.

Not to be biased but for me, mas maganda pa ang Leisure Oasis of Ayala Center Cebu once completed than Trinoma. For me, Trinoma is just a huge boxy mall na may garden sa rooftop. Ive seen the rendering of Leisure Oasis, and basically, it's more than what Trinoma is. :eek:kay: It does look like Cebu's version of Greenbelt in Makati.
