The Gateway Mall also currently sits on the northern area of the Araneta City, located at the northern end of the Araneta Coliseum and attracts over 220,000 shoppers daily, due to its close proximity to transport terminals and train stations.[1]

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 on September 30, 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 Cyberpark Tower 3 site.[3]

Development

[edit]

The Gateway Mall 1, along with the Gateway Mall 2 (New Gateway), and other nearby propoerties such as 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 3,100 parking spaces.

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 on October 15, 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]

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).[68] [69][70]

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.
