Megaworld Corp. is expanding Lucky Chinatown in Binondo, Manila as demand for premium commercial spaces continues to grow in the area.
Megaworld said it would open a new retail development in Lucky Chinatown called the Imperial Wing. This will add three floors of retail space, increasing the mall’s total gross leasable area to 36,000 square meters.
The Imperial Wing is connected to the main mall through the Chinatown Walk on the ground floor and two air-conditioned walkways on the second and third levels. The new wing also offers direct access to the Chinatown Museum behind the Lucky Chinatown Hotel.
The expansion brings in new tenants, including the first Manila branch of Nitori, a Japanese furniture and home accessories brand, and KKV, a lifestyle retailer from China. Robinsons Supermarket has also opened on the ground floor.
Lucky Chinatown is also expanding its dining options with the opening of Mixue, a Chinese fast-food chain, marking its first location in a Megaworld lifestyle mall. Other food establishments opening soon include Hen Ho Hotpot, Xibei Ramen, Nono’s, Mesa, llaollao and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
“The expansion of Lucky Chinatown through the Imperial Wing reflects our continued commitment to elevating the lifestyle experience on this side of Manila. We are curating a diverse and dynamic tenant mix that responds to the evolving needs and preferences of the market, as we strengthen our role as a vibrant community hub,” said Graham Coates, head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.
With the expansion, Megaworld aims to strengthen Lucky Chinatown’s position as a hub for shopping, dining and leisure in Manila’s Chinatown.
