Ayala Malls reveals plans to further luxury retail in 2022 and 2023 after the successful renovation of Greenbelt 3
Among the many establishments open to Filipino shoppers in the Metro, Greenbelt stands out as one of the most luxurious. Even its name conjures sophistication, with the understanding that here, one can expect nothing but the best of the best. Be it with family or friends, Greenbelt has become the go-to destination for the urbane and the cosmopolitan. With plenty of high-end stores available for browsing, Greenbelt has become the top-of-mind luxury lifestyle purveyor. As in the words of Ayala Malls president, Chris Maglanoc, “Greenbelt is not just a mall, it’s an experience.” And it’s an experience that those at Ayala take very seriously.

In 2021, Greenbelt 3 became the talk of the town after it was unveiled with all-new flagship stores from the likes of Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Off-White, and more. But that was not the end of Greenbelt 3’s plans. This August, two new brand names opened their doors. Jimmy Choo will be ready to take on excited shoppers looking for popular items such as the pearl studded Aura 95 heel, the Liya 65 leather mule and the sought-after Madeline cross-body bag. Loewe will also present its pre-fall 2022 campaign starring the likes of Kaia Gerber, Anthony Hopkins, and Maya Nakanishi.
Ermenegildo Zegna, which is slated to open in September, introduce a fall-winter collection that includes sweaters and coats in shades of creamy white and sophisticated grey. Roger Vivier, on the other hand, has a planned opening date sometime in October.
Beauty brands such as Clé de Peau Beauté, La Mer and Estée Lauder have also staked their claim onto Greenbelt territory, opening branches and boutiques that are first-in-the Philippines.
“All the brands that opened with us saw the potential of the shopping market here in the Philippines, of how it started and its rise from the past years,” shares Mark Anthony Sablan, strategic leasing head of Ayala Malls. “[Greenbelt] is located in the heart of the Makati central business district, a stone's throw away from nearby hotels and a short drive from the airport, thus making it a top luxury retail destination.”
