In a landmark achievement that reinforces its leadership in Philippine retail, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls has earned its third consecutive Mall of the Year in the Philippines title at the prestigious 2025 Retail Asia Awards, this time for its flagship destination, Uptown Bonifacio. Following previous wins for Festive Walk Iloilo in 2023 and Eastwood City in 2024, this historic 3-peat underscores Megaworld’s ability to consistently redefine what mall experiences can be in the country.
Awarded Mall of the Year in the Philippines at the 2025 Retail Asia Awards, Uptown Bonifacio is recognized for its dynamic blend of global brands, local lifestyle concepts, chef-driven dining, nightlife, and entertainment—offering a modern urban experience at the heart of the metro.
The winning streak continued with Lucky Chinatown named Themed Mall of the Year, and Eastwood City recognized as Integrated Mixed-Use Mall of the Year—sweeping three of the evening’s most competitive categories.
A standout for its energy and dynamic lifestyle offerings, Uptown Bonifacio in Taguig City has positioned itself as a launchpad for premium global brands while remaining deeply connected to local culture.
