#CulturePH - Araneta Group expands retail footprint with The New Gateway Mall 2
The New Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City's most recent revolutionary project, is taking shape as exciting new shops and activities gradually open.
The multi-awarded Gateway Mall's P5 billion expansion is expected to completely transform how modern cities are experienced in the metro. By adding more than 200,000 square meters of new options for dining, entertainment, and leisure space to the multilevel mall, this development expands Araneta City's flagship mall.
The New Gateway Mall 2 offers the most recent ideas in fashion, technology, gaming, entertainment, leisure, health, and wellbeing through an extensive assortment of over 400 companies. Brands like Anta, Converse, Puma, and Skechers are currently open, and more brands are opening all the time.
Mall visitors may also indulge in a wide variety of delectable foods, making it a must-visit location for food lovers. The New Gateway Mall 2, which has over 150 restaurants and food outlets, is intended to be a culinary excursion. Some of the best dining options and popular food brands, including a mano, Mamou, Grace Park, Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Shake Shack, Abe, Tung Lok Seafood, Manam, Boteyju, Burgoo, Classic Savory, Vikings, Tim Ho Wan, and many others, will be highlighted in special zones like the Restaurant Collection, Coliseum Plaza, and Palenque by Claude Tayag.
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.
