Limketkai Mall (Chinese: 林市場偕中心) is the biggest shopping mall in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. It is
owned and developed by Limketkai Sons, Inc., the largest factory and business
district developer in the city. Located in the city's central business
district, particularly within the mixed-use 40 hectare Limketkai Center in Barangay
Lapasan, the sprawling, two story mall has more than 500 tenants.
Home of 'many firsts' in the city, it
offers local, national and international brands of boutiques, coffee shops,
restaurants, fitness centers and health clinics. The mall is estimated of
having more than 135,000 gross floor area exclusive of recent expansions.
Limketkai Mall's anchor stores
consist of two Robinsons supermarkets, Shopwise hypermarket, Robinsons
department store, Handyman and Robinsons Cagayan de Oro, the first Robinsons
commercial mall in Mindanao.
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. 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.
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..
