Since opening in 2024, Opus has quickly become a bustling hub where business, leisure, and culture converge. Designed with refined aesthetics and intentional spatial planning, the destination aims to elevate how Filipinos gather, dine, and shop.

“Opus Mall’s design aesthetics go beyond the shoppers’ regular needs,” said Kristina R. Lim, VP for lease of Robinsons Malls. “Every space is thoughtfully designed — from architecture to curated retail and dining — so every visit feels elevated and intentional.”

“Our goal is to create destinations that elevate how people live, connect, and experience life. Opus is our newest expression of that commitment.” RLC president Mybelle Aragon-GoBio said.

What’s new:

Opus is home to several first-in-market concepts that push the modern mall experience forward:

  • Dave & Buster’s: The iconic American “eatertainment” brand makes its Southeast Asian debut, offering gourmet food paired with immersive interactive gaming.
  • St. Ali Coffee: The famed Melbourne specialty coffee brand opens its first Philippine location at Opus.

Other standout culinary and entertainment offerings include Sogeum by Soban, Il Lupino, the upcoming Nyx by Vikings, the first-ever Funtopia Park, and the country’s first Family Cinema with world-class tech in sound and laser projection.

“Opus stands out because of our retail partners who share our vision,” said Faraday Go, EVP and business unit GM of RLC. “Together, we’ve created a place where business, leisure, and community come together harmoniously.”
