Megaworld Corporation is setting the stage for a vibrant transformation in Philippine retail with the launch of several new premium malls and retail spaces—including a highly anticipated lifestyle destination in Boracay. As demand for experiential shopping, dining, and leisure soars, the property giant unveils a slate of developments designed to cater to the country’s fast-growing middle class and to elevate the local retail landscape across its townships.
Expansion At A Glance: Key Development Highlights
Over 30,000 square meters of new commercial space will be launched this year in strategic locations like McKinley West in Taguig, Makati, Alabang West, and the pristine Boracay Newcoast
The Shoppes at Park McKinley West, a two-story retail hub, will anchor Taguig’s fresh offerings with a curated mix of local and international dining and lifestyle brands
New commercial spaces in Alabang West and Makati’s Vion Tower lifestyle mall will extend Megaworld Lifestyle Malls’ signature concepts to more urban residents
Boracay Newcoast’s Newcoast Beachwalk will offer a dazzling array of retail, dining, and services tailored for tourists, helping reinforce Boracay’s allure as a top destination
The Boracay Breakthrough: Island Retail Gets A Boost
This year, Boracay is expected to welcome a new retail and leisure experience with the arrival of Newcoast Beachwalk—themed to harmonize with the island’s famed beaches while bringing much-needed modern amenities. Tourists and locals can look forward to a refreshed environment packed with dining hotspots, specialty shops, and service zones designed to enhance every Boracay getaway.
Destination Townships: More Than Just Shopping
The new projects are not limited to adding retail square footage—they bring Megaworld’s immersive lifestyle mall concept to more places than ever before. Each development will feature a thoughtful line-up of premium brands, first-in-the-country concepts, and culinary favorites alongside innovative architectural designs. For example, The Shoppes at Park McKinley West blends cosmopolitan flair with convenience, offering brands like Ogawa Traditional Japanese Restaurant, Royal Indian Curry House, and cutting-edge local cafes.
Uplifting The Philippine Retail Scene
Company executives highlight the moves as a strategic response to the robust consumer appetite and a catalyst for sustained growth. Graham Coates, head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, emphasizes the vision to introduce novel experiences that resonate with today’s consumers while enhancing township value. Already, Megaworld’s mall leasing revenues hit 3.33 billion pesos in the first half of 2025, a 10 percent jump year-on-year, buoyed by rising foot traffic and strong tenant demand.
Path To One Million: The 2030 Vision
The expansion aligns with Megaworld’s broader goal to reach one million square meters of gross leasable area by 2030. With each new project, the firm moves closer to this milestone, further anchoring its leadership in ushering innovative retail environments across the archipelago.
Island Synergy: Boracay As The Crown Jewel
The opening of Newcoast Beachwalk is particularly significant for Boracay, where Megaworld’s investments also extend to hospitality and events venues. As tourists return in greater numbers, the new lifestyle hub is poised to become the beating heart of Boracay’s renewed hospitality economy—setting standards for experiential retail and supporting the island’s position on the global tourism map.
Next In The Pipeline
Megaworld shows no signs of slowing down. Besides Boracay, major expansions are underway at Lucky Chinatown in Manila and new launches are planned throughout Megaworld’s nationwide township portfolio in Cebu, Bacolod, Pampanga, and other emerging urban centers.
