Robinsons Land’s 54th mall opens in Gapan, Nueva Ecija

Gokongwei-led Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) said Tuesday its 54th mall has opened in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija, as part of its expansion initiative in Central Luzon.

In a statement, RLC said Robinsons Gapan is also its 12th mall in northern and Central Luzon and its second in Nueva Ecija. 

The mall is located along the Pan-Philippine Highway in Gapan City.

“As a growing and rapidly developing city, Gapan is a significant location for our next Robinsons Malls as it provides us a better opportunity to serve our customers not only within the area but also those from nearby communities,” said RLC executive vice president Faraday Go in a statement.

Robinsons Gapan is built on a five-hectare property with a gross floor area of over 40,000 square meters spread over three levels and has over 600 parking slots available for added convenience of its shoppers, according to RLC.

The company said the mall design is inspired by rice, and its facade and colors are patterns of various earth tones of brown and beige, while the interiors have silhouettes of “pilapil” or the meandering pathways of the rice paddies.

The shape of the rice grain is used in the Atrium and the hallways stretching out in two major axes are like the seed's root and leaves growing out of the grain, RLC said. — Ted Cordero/BM, GMA Integrated News
