Shown above is the latest perspective of the proposed Ayala Mall in Cagayan de Oro City taken from City Hall…unless another one will be posted onsite in weeks to come.
Based on the latest design, the mall will still have three levels. The anchor store on the left (along Capt. Vicente Roa) is reportedly Robinsons Department Store, same with that of Abreeza in Davao. Quite interesting as clearly shown is the boutique hotel on the right rising above the mall.
The boutique hotel shown below is I think 10 storeys high and will become a landmark structure in this area.
Construction work (pile driving) will reportedly begin in October.
The latest design is better than the first two.
1st. Based on the perspective, it will be 4-storeys high, with a rotunda on the lower left and an 11-storey (or is it 17-storey?) BPO at the south end of the property.
The hotel and BPO component are fully integrated into one huge building complex. I think Ayala maximized the use of the prime lot which has been idle for so many years. It’s safe to assume that the hotel (around 10 storeys) is the one at the corner of CM Recto and Corrales Avenue while the BPO (approx. 5-6 storeys) will be at the other corner of CM Recto and Capt. Vicente Roa Street.
Well, what made me more grateful is that they will retain the two old huge trees. Those trees deserve a new owner that will be taken care of but nonetheless by the name of Ayala. Huge SMILE for Me!
