LOOK | ₱3.5B Total Investment Set for Abreeza Mall Expansion and Facelift
Ayala Malls is committing ₱3.5 billion to expand and upgrade Abreeza Mall, underscoring confidence in the Davao Region’s sustained economic growth. The investment covers both a major expansion and a large-scale renovation of the existing mall. Construction of the ₱2.5-billion expansion is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026.
The five-story structure will add 15,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) across three retail floors. Two upper levels will be allocated for business process outsourcing and office spaces, broadening the mall’s commercial footprint. While the total gross floor area (GFA) has yet to be disclosed, the new building will rise on nearly one hectare of land behind the existing mall and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2028.
Mall General Manager Janice Parreno said the expansion responds to strong market demand from both national and international brands seeking space in Davao. She noted that regional economic growth has outpaced the national average, creating favorable conditions for further investment. The project is also expected to support job generation and strengthen tourism activity in the city.
Design duties were awarded to CAN Design, a Hong Kong-based architecture and planning firm. The concept features a prominent new façade and enhancements that preserve the mall’s breezy, resort-inspired character while ensuring seamless integration with the existing structure. In addition to the expansion, more than ₱1 billion has been earmarked for the renovation of the current mall.
Planned upgrades include converting the roof garden into an indoor-outdoor sanctuary beneath a new overhead canopy. The redevelopment will also introduce Kantinas, an air-conditioned food hall featuring popular concepts from Davao, Cebu and other parts of the country. Together, these projects position Abreeza Mall to accommodate luxury labels and first-in-Davao global and national brands amid rising demand for premium retail and office space in the city.
