Esteemed architect J. Antonio Mendoza revamps Greenbelt 3 with world-class design that will make your shopping experience even better
For years, people had always been drawn to Ayala Malls not only for the luxury stores but also for its creative aesthetics that are just as inviting. Ayala Land Inc.’s attention to design and architecture has been recognised, earning them the Urban Land Institute Award of Excellence and International Design and Development Award several times among many others.
"We always aim to push boundaries in creating experiences for our patrons through the design of our malls. It is important to us to create environments that capture our customers' imagination," says Chris Maglanoc, President of Ayala Malls.

We see them further push boundaries by revamping familiar grounds, particularly Greenbelt 3, into a world-class shopping centre, helmed by interior architect J. Anton Mendoza in collaboration with Ayala Malls. Mendoza’s guiding principles were subtlety, sophistication, and simplicity. He shares, "For the façade, I decided to use elegant travertine. So, we used Porcelanosa Travertino Beige flown in from Spain and designed black chamfered architraves to frame the show windows achieving an elegant and imposing façade."
The exterior, on the other hand, is minimalist. Even the halls exhibit a subtle grandeur so as not to compete with the fashion houses’ show windows.
