Ayala invests P12.7-B for Cebu mall projects
The Freeman
|August 22, 2025
Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is investing P12.7 billion to expand and upgrade its malls in Cebu, betting on strong consumer demand in the country's fastest-growing urban market outside Manila.
The property arm of the Ayala Group is committing P10.5 billion to enlarge Ayala Center Cebu and develop Ayala Malls Gatewalk in Mandaue City, while allocating another P2.2 billion for renovations at Ayala Center Cebu and Ayala Central Bloc.
The moves form part of ALI's previously announced P17.5 billion national mall upgrade program running from 2025 to 2028.
Paul Birkett, chief operating officer of Ayala Malls, said Cebu's robust economic fundamentals made it a priority for the group's next growth phase.
"Cebu is the fastest-growing GDP area in the country with high employment and disposable income.
We need to deliver products worthy of that market," Birkett said in an interview.

No genuine leaders today, only politicians
The tragedy of our nation today is that we have no authentic leaders. We only have dirty, traditional politicians. There’s no moral difference between the incompetent incumbent president and the overly-ambitious vice president. Cebu is being led by incompetents who look honest and a few competent ones who smell bad with regards to integrity. The only reason why the disgruntled military isn’t intervening to oust BBM is the more dangerous option of having a more scheming vice president and her controversial brothers and devious old father.
