Property giant Megaworld is opening its 14th lifestyle mall in the 561-hectare Southwoods City in the boundaries of Biñan, Laguna and Carmona, Cavite in October.

The P2-billion Southwoods Mall offers 58,000 square meters of shopping, dining, entertainment and leisure just 30 minutes away from Makati City and Fort Bonifacio, and 35 minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) via the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). It features a 24-hour Food Hall, four state-of-the-art cinemas, a department store, supermarket, hardware store, toy store and its own transport hub.

“Southwoods Mall will be easily accessible to those living in the south. It is actually the first big mall along SLEX that you can go to after Alabang. We are excited to open the doors of our first full-scale lifestyle mall in the south,” says Kevin L. Tan, senior vice president and head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.

The three-level mall is highlighted by an innovative contemporary design with some touch of indoor greenery. The Roof Deck Garden at the third level will offer open spaces and al fresco areas for dining surrounded by manicured gardens.

“We envision this mall to be major dining destination as we welcome some global dining brands and homegrown restaurant concepts. This will be another showcase of how we want our next lifestyle malls will look like, keeping in mind the distinct character of every township that we build,” adds Tan.

Southwoods Mall is situated in an area characterized by rapidly growing communities of Cavite and Laguna as well as the cities of Muntinlupa and Las Piñas. Aside from its close proximity to SLEX’s Southwoods Exit, it is surrounded by several schools and educational institutions, places of workship, hospitals, government offices and recreational facilities such as the Southwoods Golf and Country Club, Southwoods Sports Club and Splash Island.

With the inclusion of Southwoods Mall, Megaworld now has 14 malls and commercial properties across the country.

“We build our malls and commercial properties to primarily cater to those who live, work and play in our townships. This is what makes our lifestyle malls unique and sustainable,” explains Tan
