PARKMALL, one of the first open-air lifestyle centers with a shopping facility and the longest Al-fresco dining strip in Cebu will celebrate its 6th year Anniversary this month with a month-long of Activities and Events. The Mall was opened October 17, 2008 which acts as one of the catalyst for development in North Reclamation area since at that time the area was not as busy and commercially rich area as it is today. Only private vehicles passed by the area and no Jeepney routes passing by. Now, Parkmall has overcome the odds as they celebrate six long years of turning difficulties into opportunities, staying committed to excellence and are consciously aiming to be a relevant part of the Cebuano community by being a venue for their joys and passions.

"Parkmall was intended to bring back the simplicity of families spending quality time together, it's about the nostalgia of childhood, playing silly games in the Park, casual picnics outdoors, weekend family get-together over meals."

Parkmall's design, characterized by a landscaped garden embracing the mall structure makes it the pioneering hybrid mall in Cebu incorporating eco-friendly design elements. Architect James Co, Managing Director and the primary designer of Parkmall said:

"Parkmall has found its niche and we are very happy with what we have accomplished, we are proud what we have stayed true to our core of being a Cebuano mall, with Cebuano values, committed to give a unique experience to our patrons."
