Robinsons Galleria Cebu

Robinsons Galleria Cebu (also known and branded as Galleria Cebu), is a shopping mall and mixed-use development located in Sergio Osmeña Boulevard cor. General Maxilom Avenue, North Reclamation Area, Tejero, Cebu City. It is the 2nd Robinsons Mall to bear the Galleria branding after Robinsons Galleria. The mall opened on December 10, 2015. The mall is just a few meters from the Port of Cebu and approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) away from SM City Cebu. The mall is owned and operated by Robinsons Malls. It is the firm's third largest mall (after Robinsons Manila and its namesake, Robinsons Galleria, in Ortigas, Metro Manila).

History

In 2008, Robinsons Land, Inc. announced that they have bought a 4-hectare (9.9-acre) prime property near the Port of Cebu. The company bared that they planned to build a mall, a three-storey BPO tower, a 153-room Go Hotel (which would have been the first in Cebu), 9,000 m (97,000 sq ft) of office space and a couple of high-rise condominiums. The development was initially called Robinsons Maxilom, named after General Maxilom Avenue, the road it directly borders to. The project was then renamed to its current name a couple of years later. The project broke ground in July 2012 and construction followed soon. The mall opened on December 10, 2015, exactly two weeks after another mall, SM Seaside City Cebu by rival group SM Supermalls opened.

Mall features

The main mall is four storeys tall, while a BPO building with a total floor space of 9,000 m (97,000 sq ft) is three storeys tall. There will be six cinemas in the mall. The mall also has an al fresco dining area and the mall's interiors feature lush gardens. When the whole development is finished, it will have a 153-room hotel named Summit Galleria Hotel, BPO towers, and three high-rise condominiums (which will be located at the back of the mall).
