Festive Walk Mall, Megaworld’s first and biggest full-scale lifestyle mall in Visayas and Mindanao, is opening Marketplace by Rustan’s this October.

Located inside Megaworld’s Iloilo Business Park, the upscale supermarket will be the newest supermarket chain to open inside the Festive Walk Mall Annex compound, which will offer an extensive range of international and gourmet selections and other premium products.

“The expansion of Festive Walk Mall is a testament to our commitment to bring our pioneering lifestyle mall experience to more Ilonggos,” said Kevin L. Tan, Alliance Global Group, Inc. CEO and head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.

“Festive Walk Mall Annex is designed to add more variety in terms of choices, while bringing utmost convenience to our mall patrons.”

The 9,000-square meter, three-level annex has been designed using the same modern and tropical influences that characterizes the main mall. It will be connected to the main mall via an airconditioned skybridge at the second and third floors, as well as to a multi-level parking building where the mall’s transport hub is located.

Annex will also have a direct connection to the Festive Walk Parade, a 1.1-kilometer dining and nightlife strip, and the Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Arts, the first contemporary arts museum in Visayas and Mindanao.

Festive Walk Mall Annex will also house the Church of God and a host of other shops and services, medical facilities, and the first in-mall showroom of BMW, which marks the first entry of the German luxury carmaker to Iloilo.

Festive Walk Mall Annex will also become a one-stop government center soon with the opening of satellite offices of various government agencies, such as PhilHealth, Bureau of Immigration, and Land Transportation Office.

Festive Walk Mall recently won in the retail category at the 2018 FIABCI (International Real Estate Federation)-Philippines Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards.

The mall, which recently opened the first in-mall chapel in Iloilo at its own vertical greenspace called The Deck at the 3rd level, was also awarded the Highly Commended Award for Best Retail Architectural Design at the 2018 Philippines Property Awards last May – the first for any mall in Western Visayas.

Festive Walk Mall is Megaworld’s 17th lifestyle mall. Among flagship malls under the Megaworld Lifestyle Malls brand are Uptown Mall in Uptown Bonifacio, Venice Grand Canal in McKinley Hill, Southwoods Mall in Southwoods City, and Eastwood Mall in Eastwood City.
