Setting a new benchmark in Philippine retail excellence, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls secured three major distinctions at the Retail Asia Awards 2025, held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore—including its third consecutive Mall of the Year – Philippines title, awarded this year to its flagship, Uptown Bonifacio.
The historic three-peat achievement—following previous wins for Festive Walk Iloilo in 2023 and Eastwood City in 2024—cements Megaworld’s reputation as a trailblazer in Philippine retail. The company is the first and only mall developer in the country to secure this top honor three years in a row.
In addition to this milestone, Lucky Chinatown was named Themed Mall of the Year, while Eastwood City received the Integrated Mixed-Use Mall of the Year award—underscoring Megaworld’s ability to deliver distinctive retail experiences across diverse township settings.
“Winning the biggest award as Mall of the Year for three consecutive years for our various mall properties is a big achievement for our townships. This further solidifies our vision of making each and every township a vibrant and exciting community where people can enjoy the concept of PLAY—one of the integral components of our LIVE-WORK-PLAY model for our township developments. We congratulate the creative men and women of our Megaworld Lifestyle Malls for these milestones in our company’s history,” said Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso, President of Megaworld Corporation.
Uptown Bonifacio represents a new generation of malls—infused with innovation, vibrancy, and contemporary appeal. Home to a mix of homegrown lifestyle concepts and world-class brands like Tesla, Morton’s The Steakhouse, and Uptown Tempur Cinema, the development is recognized for its immersive experiences in fashion, dining, entertainment, and wellness, all integrated into a modern, walkable district.
Lucky Chinatown, in the heart of Binondo, blends tradition with innovation. Its distinct cultural positioning, supported by heritage-driven events like Chinese New Year celebrations and curated museum spaces, earned it the Themed Mall of the Year award. It remains a dynamic destination where Filipino-Chinese identity and commerce converge.
Eastwood City, on the other hand, continues to evolve as one of the country’s most iconic mixed-use developments. A pioneer in integrated urban living, it combines residential, commercial, and entertainment spaces in a pet-friendly, community-driven environment. Its award as Integrated Mixed-Use Mall of the Year highlights its continued impact on modern township development.
“Each of these awards reflects how our malls lead the way in shaping meaningful experiences for today’s customers,” added Graham Coates, First Vice President and Head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls. “Through global partnerships, local innovation, and a deep understanding of Filipino culture, we continue to elevate the retail landscape in the Philippines.”
With over 24 malls nationwide, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls remains the country’s leading lifestyle mall operator—dedicated to shaping destinations that celebrate culture, foster community, and redefine the modern retail experience.
