Robinsons Land is known as the pioneer in
designing and developing properties using the mixed-use format, an emerging
trend in the global real estate industry today. Aside from maximizing the
value of land, RLC’s mixed-use developments like Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons
Pioneer and Robinsons Place Manila, to mention a few, offer efficiency, less
automobile dependency, and diversity of uses – ultimately ideal for every
modern lifestyle. This is the reason why most metropolitan districts like the
Ortigas Central Business Districts and other new developments are taking the
cue from lead developers like Robinsons Land to create dynamic complexes that
integrate a live, work and play environment.
Back in the 1990’s, Robinsons Land established the first and most successful
business, residential and commercial complex in the heart of Ortigas Center.
With its first flagship mall, Robinsons Galleria, came its top-class hotels,
Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila and Holiday Inn Galleria Manila. Meanwhile,
office buildings such as the Galleria Corporate Center and Robinsons Equitable
Tower as well as the high-end residential tower, Galleria Regency were
developed and integrated to the mall. At present, all these towers and
establishments are directly interconnected and harmoniously co-exist to
deliver sustainability and functionality to its users. It has also catalyzed
other developments throughout the Ortigas district and therefore, has set the
business landscape to what it is today.
