Limketkai
Mall is home to an activity venue called the Atrium. It can accommodate 3500
people, and has hosted various local, national and international events in the
city. The Rotunda is also an event venue, drawing large crowds especially on
weekends.
The mall
houses two cinemas (previously four) featuring Dolby Atmos, the first in
Mindanao.[3] It is also home to World of Fun, a gaming arcade outlet.
Rosario
Arcade, an alfresco area, which underwent recent expansion, has been a night
life and dining destination in the city. Another upscale 24/7 alfresco strip
called Gateway Park is now under construction.
Expansion
Since its
opening in 1992, Limketkai Mall has been under constant renovation and
expansions. Most notable is the general renovation in the early 2000s, when the
mostly 1-level open air mall was converted into a 2-level fully air-conditioned
mall. Most recent expansions include the new East Concourse and East Annex
building which now houses high-end fashion and lifestyle shops, as well as
value-hypermarket Shopwise.
The Green
Lane is a new expansion for shops, connecting the East Concourse to the South
Concourse, and surrounding the Atrium. The new glass-clad promenade was built
directly above the South Promenade and is lined with trees and plants, and is
targeted as an upscale greenbelt corner.
The
Limketkai Skywalk connects the mall to other areas of the complex, such as the
Limketkai Luxe Hotel and Gateway Tower.
More
high-end shops, restaurants and additional two cinemas will open once the
expansion is finished. A two story carpark building with leasable space
fronting Robinsons Cagayan de Oro is now under construction. in garden
landscapes.
