Araneta City's
latest transformational project, the New Gateway Mall 2, is coming to life with
the gradual opening of exciting stores and attractions.
The P5-billion
expansion of the multi-awarded Gateway Mall promises to revolutionize the
modern urban experience in the metro. This development extends Araneta City’s
flagship mall to more than 200,000 sq.m. of additional choices for shopping,
dining, entertainment, and leisure spread over the multilevel mall.
The New Gateway
Mall 2 introduces a comprehensive array of over 400 brands, offering the latest
concepts in fashion, technology, gaming, entertainment, leisure, health, and
wellness. Now open are brands such as Anta, Converse, Puma, and Skechers, with
more brands continuing to open.
Mallgoers can also
indulge in a plethora of culinary delights, making it a must-go destination for
food enthusiasts. With about 150 restaurants and food outlets, the New Gateway
Mall 2 is designed to be an adventure for food lovers. Dedicated zones such as
the Restaurant Collection, Coliseum Plaza, and Palenque by Claude Tayag will
highlight some of the best dining choices and sought-after food brands such as
a mano, Mamou, Grace Park, Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Shake Shack, Abe, Tung Lok
Seafood, Manam, Boteyju, Burgoo, Classic Savory, Vikings, Tim Ho Wan, and a lot
more.
"Opening the
New Gateway Mall 2 reinforces Araneta City’s commitment to its pioneering
legacy in commercial development," Rowell Recinto, Chairman of the
Management Committee said. "The New Gateway Mall 2 is truly a mall like no
other, and we want to give our patrons memorable and gratifying experiences
here at the City of Firsts."
The contemporary
architecture of glass and steel gives way to an inviting urban oasis inside
that features two gardens — the Sensory Garden, and the Culinary Garden — and
The Lagoon, which offers a relaxing ambiance for mallgoers.
On top of the mall
is the 1,000-capacity Sagrada Familia Church with a design uniqueness inspired
by a mitre, the traditional headwear worn by Bishops. Additional cues are
provided by The Oculus in Manhattan, New York City with the all-white structure
that features a high ceiling, glass panels, and stained glass windows that
invite natural light for a soothing and calming ambiance.
Another highlight
is the 700-square-meter Quantum Skyview, an activity area that features the
country's first ceiling-mounted LED display that offers a captivating visual
experience like no other. With its central location, the Quantum Skyview offers
unique possibilities to any event in the area. Recent activities such as
pre-concert Korean pop (KPOP) fan meetings, book launch, and the 2023 PPOP
Manila Convention were able to offer an experience not available elsewhere and
such can be replicated in public events, product launches, and other
activations.
The New Gateway
Mall 2 is also home to Shopwise International Grocery Shopping, a
non-membership grocery with an impressive selection of international brands.
Also opening soon are Paeng's Gateway Bowl for sports enthusiasts, and the Pop
District Center, a first in the Philippines, which will provide an in-mall
venue for everything and anything pop culture.
More food brands,
retail outlets, and mall attractions are expected to open at the New Gateway
Mall 2 before the end of 2023.
This new mall
completes Araneta City's Gateway Square, a 400,000-square-meter mixed-use
superblock that includes the Gateway Malls, Gateway Office, Gateway Tower,
Novotel Manila Araneta City, Smart Araneta Coliseum, Parking Garage South
Building, and the soon-to-open ibis Styles Manila Araneta City.
"The New
Gateway Mall 2 is part of Araneta Group's plan to build a community that
delivers a unique live-work-play experience. It serves as a foundational
connection to other properties in the Gateway Square and ultimately, in Araneta
City, offering opportunities for an experience that can be personalized in a
contemporary environment," Recinto said.
Aside from the New
Gateway Mall 2, other developments continue to rise in Araneta City including
Cyberpark 3, the latest office building at the 8-hectare Cyberpark development,
and ibis Styles Manila, the first ibis Styles branded hotel by international
hospitality company Accor in the Philippines.
