ROBINSONS Land Corp. (RLC) is expanding its mall in Antipolo, Rizal, in anticipation of increased foot traffic during the summer months.
In a statement, the Gokongwei-led developer said the expansion of Robinsons Place Antipolo will open by May 2022. This will increase the mall’s gross floor area by 40%.
Arlene Magtibay, RLC senior vice-president and general manager for Robinsons Malls, said the mall is being expanded to target the “young and upwardly mobile market.”
“We are opening the expansion mall in the summer which is when a lot of people visit Antipolo. We are excited to welcome our shoppers to this new wing that will surely make their malling experience at Robinsons Place Antipolo even more delightful,” she said.
Robinsons Place Antipolo will have more international and local retail shops, restaurants, clinics, courier services, pet grooming shop, and select government agencies.
Robinsons Movieworld, kids’ amusement centers, and hobby shops will also open as restrictions ease.
“The new wing will provide our customers an experience that goes beyond traditional shopping. It will address their desire for more global fashion brands as well as elevate their dining experience with must-try restaurants,” Ms. Magtibay said.
RLC reported a 47% rise in net income to P6.44 billion in the first nine months of 2021, as the government eased lockdown restrictions.
Last year, the company opened Robinsons Place La Union, the 53rd Robinsons Mall in the country.
