Marking the trend in must-see destinations is Ayala Malls’ Marquee Mall, a redefinition of shopping, dining and entertainment. It is set to open its doors on Sept. 23.

Marquee Mall is Ayala Malls’ first foray in Central Luzon, making its home in Angeles City in Pampanga. It redefines convenience on this side of the country. Situated near Angeles City’s business district and adjacent to the Angeles exit along Nlex, this new 9.3-hectare lifestyle hub is a vital component of "Marquee," a 53-hectare integrated mixed use community recently developed by Ayala Land Inc.

Ayala Land Inc. senior vice president and Ayala Malls Group head Marivic Añonuevo shares, "Always ahead of the curve, Ayala Malls designs Marquee Mall with dynamism and innovation to provide convenience for loyal patrons and customers."

Spanning three floors with more than 450 stores and restaurants, Marquee Mall raises the bar higher on mixed use developments in the region, as it is strategically located in the vicinity of Marquee Place, a residential area developed by Alveo Land. The 70,000 sq m of Marquee Mall will also be home to an inter-modal transport terminal for buses, jeepneys, AUVs and tricycles, upgrading the accessibility and turn it into a major regional convergence area. It will also be a shopping enthusiast’s ultimate haven as it is anchored by Metro Supermarket and Department Store.

In its commitment to bring notable innovations, Ayala Malls has effectively infused Manila-based dining, shopping and entertainment offerings with that of Pampanga’s homegrown lifestyle and culture, thus, coming out with concepts that are both contemporary and close to the heart.

Indulge in sheer fun and entertainment with remarkable features such as the Activity Center, an energetic event venue where people can linger and enjoy various activities and live performances, the Civic Plaza which echoes an al fresco feel heightened by beautiful installations of water features and lush landscaping, interactive sculptures designed by Reggie Yuson and four digital cinemas.
