“Greenbelt is not just a mall; it’s an experience,” shares Ayala Malls President Chris Maglanoc. Envisioned to be the country’s luxury fashion capital, Greenbelt assembles the most illustrious and sought-after lineup of premier lifestyle brands under one roof, as only the Ayala Malls group can. These include the new Louis Vuitton store, Dior, Kenzo, Fendi, Univers, Off-White, Thom Browne, L’Officine Universelle Buly, Max Mara, Rimowa, Patek Philippe, and Bvlgari.
Opening this June and July are Celine, Loewe, Jimmy Choo, and Ermenegildo Zegna. Tiffany & Co. is scheduled to open in October of this year. Other stores earmarked to open are Roger Vivier, which is entering the Philippine market for the first time in 2022, and Cartier, which will unveil its latest collection in 2023. As Cartier, Tiffany & Co., and Ermenegildo Zegna transition to their new locations in Greenbelt 3 in a couple of months, its Greenbelt 4 boutiques remain operational until the final move.
From 2022 to 2023, Ayala Malls will continue the refresh in Greenbelt 4, which will see the new looks of Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tod’s, Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, and Prada. Gucci is also going to boast a more prominent space as it moves to the former location of Louis Vuitton. Meanwhile, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and Saint Laurent are establishing their presence in Greenbelt 4, plus another new-in-the-Philippines fashion concept that promises weapons of seduction, Faure Le Page.
Good shopping is complemented with stylish dining with Las Flores, Wildflour, Sala Bistro, People’s Place, Starbucks Reserve, Amorica by Café Breton, and the newly-opened Ember by Chef Josh Boutwood.
Maglanoc comments, “We are mindful of the evolving consumer and brand standpoints. The reinvention of the retail experiences of our clients is vital. We have meticulously planned Greenbelt so that people come back to it time and time again. Having the world’s best brands in our establishment is a significant factor. Thankfully, we have had enduring relationships with merchant partners whose confidence, belief, and trust we enjoy to this day.“
Greenbelt also revealed an elegant new look. Interior architect J. Antonio Mendoza was tasked to redesign Greenbelt 3’s façade and interior that would seamlessly fit the global prestige of the brands it would carry, as well as meet the needs, desires, and expectations of Greenbelt 3’s discerning shoppers. The result is a minimalist aesthetic that flows consistently throughout Greenbelt 3’s exterior and interiors, subtle but undeniably elegant. Meticulously planned, the detailing of the halls is meant to highlight—and not compete—with the designs of the luxury brands’ show windows.
Maglanoc adds, “Greenbelt has enjoyed countless accolades for its architecture, spatial planning, and seamless integration of lush green landscapes woven into the commercial floor plan. We knew we had to push design boundaries to capture our customers’ imagination with the renovation. We believe we achieved that.“
In addition to the spectacular lineup of brands and the elegant new look, Greenbelt keeps faithful to its mission of enhancing the holistic desires of its patrons. While the retail scene in Makati CBD thrives, Greenbelt emerges as a prestigious convergence point for fashion, art, architecture, and nature.
Aside from the lush greens, Greenbelt furthers harmonious existence with the environment by adopting more sustainable technologies and practices such as the installation of energy-conserving, fully electric transport systems in various malls. Additionally, customers are encouraged to help reduce waste sent to landfills by responsibly disposing of trash in designated bins. Moving forward, Ayala Malls aims to initiate more nature conservation and preservation programs, and increased investments in low emissions and green technologies, to ultimately achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the shortest possible time.
Meanwhile, the reopening of the Ayala Museum finally welcomes anyone from families to students and business professionals to cultivate their love for Filipino culture, art, and history.
