Ayala Land, Eton bet bigger on Parklinks with 2027 mall opening

Insider Spotlight

• 2027 retail anchor: Parklinks Mall opens with 41,000 sqm of leasable space.
• Township gains momentum: School, events venue and retail pavilions launch ahead of the mall.
• Eastern corridor bet: Ayala Land and Eton accelerate Parklinks’ next growth phase.

The Zobel family-backed Ayala Land Inc. and Lucio Tan's Eton Properties are entering the next phase of their Parklinks township, betting a 69,000-square-meter shopping mall opening in 2027 will transform the estate into a major commercial hub along Metro Manila’s eastern corridor.

The retail anchor, offering about 41,000 square meters of leasable space, comes as the developers accelerate the rollout of residential, commercial and community assets to build foot traffic before the township reaches full scale.

The mall will house a mix of retail, dining, lifestyle and community spaces serving residents and visitors within the estate.

Momentum is also building ahead of the mall’s debut, with specialty dining pavilions scheduled to open by the end of 2026, while the new campus of Multiple Intelligence International School and Casa Ibarra Parklinks are both set to welcome their first guests this year.

The residential component is expanding at the same pace, with Ayala Land Premier’s Parklinks North and South Towers and Alveo Land’s The Lattice rising alongside the newly opened Parklinks Experience Center.

About half of the 35-hectare estate has been allocated to parks, open spaces and recreational areas, including Central Park, the Esplanade and riverfront zones.

The Parklinks Bridge and an expanding network of roads and pedestrian paths are intended to improve connectivity between the Pasig and Quezon City sides of the development.
