Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is enhancing the development of Gatewalk, a new mixed-use district in Mandaue with the opening of Gatewalk Drive, a new access road linking Lopez Jaena Street to M. Logarta Avenue. The road marks the first step in the development of Gatewalk, which is envisioned as the city’s next commercial and lifestyle hub.
Building on its successes with Cebu Business Park and Cebu I.T. Park, ALI sees Gatewalk as part of Metro Cebu’s next wave of growth, as it offers stronger connectivity, modern urban design, and inclusive development in one of the region’s most dynamic areas.
Strengthening Connectivity
Mandaue City has long been a key link in Metro Cebu’s northern corridor, home to industries, businesses, and residential communities that drive the local economy. Gatewalk Drive improves mobility between major thoroughfares, easing travel and opening strategic access to surrounding commercial and residential zones.
“The opening of Gatewalk Drive is a strong start to the district’s long-term vision,” said Jennylle Tupaz, head of Central Luzon and VisMin Estates of ALI.
“Gatewalk is designed to become a central hub in Mandaue, where accessibility, commerce, and community come together. This milestone reflects our continued commitment to shaping dynamic, well-connected districts across Metro Cebu.”
Gatewalk is planned as a vibrant mixed-use district integrating offices, retail, leisure, civic spaces, and green open areas. Anchoring the development is a next-generation Ayala Malls, scheduled to open by the end of 2026, which will feature modern dining, immersive entertainment, and community-focused spaces.
Complementing the mall is a 1-hectare Greenway, landscaped parks, and pedestrian corridors designed to encourage walking and foster more enjoyable, community-centered experiences. Together, these features reflect ALI’s approach to building estates that balance progress with livability, connecting mobility, work, and lifestyle.
Gatewalk will form part of ALI’s growing portfolio of Cebu estates, including South Coast City in SRP and Seagrove in Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City. These emerging districts complement established hubs while opening new opportunities for business and community growth.
