(ACI, Inc.), a subsidiary of the Araneta Group, the mall was completed in 2004 and currently has 300,000 m2 (3,200,000 sq ft) of total floor area, making the mall one of largest in the Philippines. The Gateway Mall also currently sits on the northern area of the Araneta City, located at the northern end of the historic Araneta Coliseum and attracts over 220,000 shoppers daily, due to its close proximity to transport terminals and train stations.[1]

The Gateway Mall underwent an expansion project which was completed in 2023 named the Gateway Mall 2, located along the western side of the Araneta Coliseum. The expansion will feature a variety of shops, restaurants and leisure amenities and also includes the Ibis Styles Araneta City within the development. [2]

History and planning[edit]

The Gateway Mall and The Gateway Tower (Gateway Complex), located at the left side of the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with the upcoming construction of the Gateway Mall 2, as of 2017.

The Gateway Mall was once known as the "Millenium Mall" project, a planned 7-storey mall adjacent to the Araneta Coliseum in the early stages of planning of the Araneta Center Redevelopment Master Plan. The redevelopment plan also included the "Manhattan Mall", a 200,000 m2 (2,200,000 sq ft) mixed-use development with retail and residential components, which became the present Manhattan Gardens complex, a 400-room business hotel now known as the Novotel Manila Araneta City, and the "Manila Tower", a 300 m (984.3 ft) planned mixed-use tower with communication facilities, as part of the Araneta Center Master Plan in the year 2000, and was established in 2002, under a 66.25 billion (US$1.25 billion) budget.

For the full commencement of the project, the Araneta Group tapped Felino Palafox of Palafox Associates and Sudhakar Thakurdesai of RTKL Associates as the main architects and urban planners of the project, along with the Deshazo Starek and Tang (now Deshazo Group), Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated and Colliers International as main consultants of the master plan. The plans for the mall contains a large part of the Araneta City, spanning from the Araneta Center–Cubao Line 2 station, around the west side of the Smart Araneta Coliseum, up to the Farmer's Market and General McArthur Avenue, with connections to the adjacent Farmers Plaza. The planned mall is included within the master plan of various developments covering malls and commercial buildings with retail spaces, which aims to have a total floor area of 600,000 m2 (6,500,000 sq ft) for retail spaces, with plans including an additional 340,000 m2 (3,700,000 sq ft) of entertainment spaces, a full scale skating rink, cineplexes, an IMAX Theater, a bowling alley, and a children and family entertainment center, which is aimed to have a total of 972,000 m2 (10,460,000 sq ft) of overall retail space in the Araneta City. The master plan commenced with the construction of the Gateway Mall in 2002, and the Gateway Mall 2 in 2017. Within the next few years, an additional expansion plan was being laid out for the upcoming Gateway Mall 3, planned to be built along the Araneta City Cyberpark site.[3]

Development[edit]

The Gateway Mall, along with the New Gateway (Gateway Mall 2), the Gateway Tower, the Gateway Office Building, the Araneta Coliseum, the Araneta Coliseum Parking Garage, the Novotel Manila Araneta City, and the Ibis Styles Hotel are situated within the Gateway Square complex, a 5-hectare (12-acre) superblock within the Araneta City, offering retail, dining, leisure, lodging, and entertainment facilities. The complex is also set to have 400,000 m2 (4,300,000 sq ft) of floor area, and a total of 3,000 parking spaces upon completion, and is connected to other buildings and developments via sky bridges and walk paths.[4][5][6]

Planning, construction, and development[edit]

The ₱2.5 Billion, 85,000 m2 (910,000 sq ft) shopping complex was originally occupied by the Aurora Shopping Arcade, which became the Gateway-LRT 2 concourse, the Quezon Arcade and Plaza Fair, one of the main department stores in the area, until the building was demolished within 2001. The mall became the first property to break ground under the Araneta Center Redevelopment Plan, in which the project broke ground and commenced construction in October 2002[7] before the mall opened in October 2004, tapping CE Construction Corporation as the project's general contractor. However, the mall encountered construction and funding issues with its contractor, and the Araneta Group was forced to pay ₱114 million for the issues caused by the mall's construction.[8] The mall was also a part of the Metro Centro Project of Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte Jr..[9][10][11] [12] The mall's owner, Jorge L. Araneta, hired Sudhakar Thakurdesai of RTKL Associates as the main architect of the project, and Ralph Peter Jentes of Hyatt International Hotels for the services offered in the mall.[12]

Features[edit]

The Gateway Mall has five levels above ground primarily for retail use and three levels of basement parking space, for a total floor area of 100,000 m2 (1,100,000 sq ft) before expansion. The mall has a total of 197 shops, with Rustan's as the primary anchor tenant and 72 restaurants and food stalls, and hosts primarily upscale, electronics, and fashion shops, such as Automatic Centre Digital Plaza, H&M, Uniqlo, Miniso, Samsung, Apple Store, Lacoste, Xiaomi, Robinsons Supermarket and other retail shops, restaurants, and dining outlets. Gateway also highlights a Fabergé egg-inspired glass pavilion located along General Aguinaldo Avenue. The pavilion is also surrounded by the al-fresco dining Coliseum Circle and the Courtyard, and connects the Araneta Coliseum through the mall's sidewalks and alleyways. The mall features an activity atrium; The Oasis, an indoor, air-conditioned open-roof garden;[13] The Gateway Gallery;[14] and The Topiary Garden, an open-air rooftop garden, both located at the 5th level.[15] The 3rd level of the mall houses The Food Express food court, and the 4th level of the mall contains a 10-cinema cineplex, known as the Gateway Cineplex 10, which includes the 500-seater Cinema 5 and the Platinum Cinema.[16]

Gateway is directly connected to the lower six retail levels of the adjacent Gateway Tower, known as the Gateway Tower Mall. The expansion increased the mall's space with additional 15,000 m2 (160,000 sq ft) of retail space, and was completed in 2013.[16] The mall is also directly connected to the Farmers Plaza, and the Smart Araneta Coliseum previously via footbridge, giving direct access to the MRT 3 Cubao Station. The mall is also directly connected to the LRT 2 Cubao Station, the 11-storey Gateway Office Building located adjacent to the LRT 2 Cubao Station Concourse,the Gateway Mall 2 and the Ibis Styles Araneta City. Other direct connections include an elevated link bridge connecting the mall to the New Frontier Theater.

The new complex is expected to embark its grand opening within the first quarter of 2024, after being partially opened on April 9, 2023 (Easter Sunday), before being fully opened in September 2023.

On April 18, 2023, an ongoing case was filed between the Araneta City Inc. (ACI) of the Araneta Group and Megawide Construction Corporation regarding costing issues in various projects within the complex, which included the Gateway Mall 2 and Ibis Styles Araneta City, and the Cyberpark Tower 2. The ACI filed a permissive counterclaim for the complaint filed by Megawide and has asked the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission (CIAC) to intervene and hasted the ongoing case, as Megawide was said to have violated the construction contract amounting to ₱1.53 billion, while ACI was also said to have violations worth ₱339.65 million, and the overall worth of the contract is worth ₱4.25 billion. The case was also the reason that the mall and hotel's construction was delayed and caused ACI to switch their general contractor to Stages, Design and Construction (SDC).[70] [71][72]

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the ruling regarding the case was released on January 11, 2024, which favored Megawide's case and has resulted to the Araneta Group being responsible to pay Megawide ₱180.2 million with 6% interest per annum. Based on the verdict of the CIAC, Megawide was also awarded ₱596.9 million for the damages under the deal while the Araneta Group was awarded ₱416.7 million. In the aftermath of the case, Megawide commented that the case "will not have a significant impact" on the company's operations.[73]
