History

Robinsons Malls announced that they'll be expanding more branches in Mindanao by 2014. One of which is in Iligan after the former Pryce Business Park which was sold to Robinsons Land Corporation.[5][6]

The construction began on May 9, 2015 and took two years on its nearing completion. Originally, the mall's opening was scheduled on June 8, 2017.[7] However, due to the Battle of Marawi that took place near Iligan, the opening was moved to July 26, 2017.

Features

The three-storey mall features 6 anchor stores.[8] It has Lingkod Pinoy Service Center, Food Gallery, specialty stores and restaurants, outdoor parking spaces and a transport terminal.

The architectural design is inspired by the city's majestic waterfalls. There is a waterfall feature with stream of water cascading from the upper levels down to the al fresco area of the mall.[9]

The mall complex also features a five-storey Go Hotel, with 100 rooms and a function hall.[9]
