History

One of the oldest and rarest photo of the mall

In 1991, certain of the market potentials in the east side of the metropolis and driven by the desire to diversify, Sta. Lucia East Realty and Development, Inc. (SLRDI) built Phase 1 of the first shopping mall in Rizal Province - the Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall (SLEGM). Phase 1 houses the first relatively well-equipped theaters in town, food and fashion retail stores.

Two years later, Phase II was formally opened offering better facilities, more specialty stores, service centers, additional cinemas, a 32-lane bowling center, an entertainment arcade and a junior department store.

On May 18, 1998, Phase III was unveiled which offered bigger spaces and more comprehensive shopping and entertainment facilities. The expansion paved way to a 22,000 square meter, three-level, full-line Department Store that houses the leading brands in the retail industry; more upscale stores and restaurants; and the many firsts in shopping and leisure - a 32-lane Brunswick Bowling Center, cinemas equipped with Sony Digital Sound System and a 10-meter high ceiling entertainment center called World of Fun primarily targeted to children.

Phase III also introduced the 7,000 square meter supermarket. Added amenities include the construction of walkalator, elevators, and a multi-level parking facility. Since then, the mall has grown and matured through the years. In 2005, Phase III cinemas were renovated and became known as the Theatre Zone.
