In the Philippines, the shoppers are back.
Especially during the weekends, crowds would flock to the malls, as many missed their favorite stops, shops, restaurants and the beautiful retail chaos of the metro. Some malls, in fact, have already seen foot traffic exceeding pre-pandemic levels since last year.
But while this is the case, malls nowadays continue to embark on a retail reinvention as they seek to further raise the bar in retail experience given new needs that emerged over the last three years. To recall, the pandemic gave rise to many unprecedented shifts that up until today continue to shape the tastes and preferences of mallgoers.
For instance, many now place more premium on experiential aesthetic open spaces, unique concepts, and sustainability, among others, expecting that their favorite malls would embrace these trends as well.
Vista Mall provides shoppers with aesthetic open spaces where they can safely converge.
One mall developer, though, has long provided its mallgoers with these emergent preferences, even prior to the pandemic. Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc., through Vista Mall, has created some of the most beautiful malls in the country, providing picturesque spaces, pocket gardens, unique retail, dining, and entertainment concepts, and so much more.
Here are some of the reasons why Vista Mall continues to stand out in the local retail scene.
Aesthetic spaces
Having proven to be an architect of beautiful estates and a designer of curated lifestyles in the residential space, Vista Land brings this same expertise in its shopping malls.
Vista Mall has integrated landscaped lush pocket gardens, airy open spaces, atriums, artistic walls, and charming nooks and walkways, that do not only offer picture-pretty spots, but can also and more importantly offer safe, healthy spaces for families and friends to converge. And this was long before such areas became an important feature in any establishment.
The Evia Lifestyle Center in Vista Alabang, for example, has The Atrium, an indoor park; the Promenade, a walkway of lights; and the Piazza, among other beautiful spots. The different Vista malls across the country offer their own amazing spaces as well.
Unique concepts
Nowadays, mallgoers want concepts that are one-of-a-kind and exciting. Whether it’s for retail or dining, they want their curiosities to be piqued and their palates satisfied. They crave for unique experiences and such can be had in the different restaurants offered by the AllValue Group and which, of course, you can only find in a Vista Mall.
