IdeAYALA Will Bring YOUR Idea to Life!

An outdoor mall with a huge park perfect for runners, families, and pets (BGC). An activity area in the middle of the mall for exhibits, children's playground, job fair, bazaars, concerts, etcetera (Glorietta). Online movie ticket purchasing and seat reservations (Ayala Cinemas / Sure Seats). All these brilliant ideas that made Ayala Malls the perfect place to unwind, eat, and shop all started as an IDEA.
