Great shopping delights at Eastwood LeGrand 2

Economists often say that shops can make or break a neighborhood. More than just the energy that fuels a community’s micro economy, they help define the area’s stature and livability. Shops help sustain residents by fulfilling immediate needs. They also give a neighborhood its own special aura that adds to the place’s character.

Such is the effect that the new Eastwood Mall is expected to have on Eastwood City. The latest commercial undertaking from Megaworld Corporation, the country’s leading developer of residential condominiums, the luxurious Eastwood Mall is seen as an unparalleled venture that will enhance the quality of life of residents living in this upscale, tower block community, including privileged residents of the 35-storey Eastwood LeGrand Tower 2, the first Eastwood project to boast loft condos in its floors.

“The new Eastwood Mall is a welcome addition to the ever-growing Eastwood City community. This heightens the New York-style shopping and dining experience that current Eastwood City residents and workers now enjoy. Eastwood LeGrand 2 residents will similarly enjoy the same urban experience when they become part of our community,” Eastwood Property Holdings Inc. FVP for marketing and project head John Natividad shared.

Take for instance the many restaurants and cafes seen to rise along Eastwood Mall’s enclosed, palm-lined boulevard cum piazza. From Asian favourites such as Le Thai and Mr Kurosawa to continental excellence seen at The Old Vine and Blufish, these establishments are expected to boost the area’s credibility as a veritable and diverse dining destination.

Eastwood Mall is also seen to ascertain Eastwood City as a fashion mecca. A score of high-end clothing shops are expected to open or have opened in the area, including London High Street retail giants such as Topshop, Mango and Marks & Spencer’s as well as faves of the glam set such as Aldo, Maldita, Nautica and a string of outlets from Stores Specialists: Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole and Lacoste to name a few.

However, Eastwood Mall does not only provide a dose of great retail therapy for fashionistas but also to the young families that will soon move in at Eastwood LeGrand 2. There are dozens of shops that specialize in children’s clothing and footwear, including Periwinkle, Jump, Florsheim Kids, Oshkosh B’Gosh, and Babyland. Young moms eager to develop their magic in the kitchen will be delighted to find that there is a branch of Raffles Kitchen World and a satellite education facility of Center for Culinary Arts (CCA). For dads, there is the DIY shop to do the quick fixes at home while home gadgetry and accessories can be availed of at Sony Centre, Samsung, and Automatic Centre.

The entire family meanwhile can enjoy themselves at Manila’s largest Timezone, watch the latest Hollywood hits in style at the Eastwood Ultra Cinemas, pick up visiting relatives billeted at the adjacent Richmonde Hotel or simply take a leisurely walk through the music-filled hallways presided by courteous mall attendants in sharp suits.
