Ayala Malls Manila Bay

Ayala Malls Manila Bay opened on December 6, 2019, on a substantial site in the Bay City reclamation area of Parañaque, immediately adjacent to the SM Mall of Asia complex and the Macapagal Boulevard corridor. The two-tower mall format and approximately 160,000 square meters of gross leasable area position it as one of Ayala Malls’ larger Metro Manila properties, designed to serve the Manila Bay tourism corridor that has emerged through reclamation development since the 2000s.

Anchor tenants include Uniqlo, Zara, H&M, Marks & Spencer, Rustan’s, Toys R Us, the Ayala Cinemas, and a substantial dining destination on the upper levels. The mall’s design uses extensive glass facades that face the Manila Bay sunset, plus open-air walkways and outdoor terraces that take advantage of the coastal location. The bay-facing dining cluster has become a key differentiator for the property, drawing visitors from across Metro Manila for sunset views in addition to the standard mall traffic.

The Bay City location places Ayala Malls Manila Bay alongside SM Mall of Asia, Solaire Resort & Casino, the City of Dreams Manila, and the cluster of hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues that has developed along the Manila Bay reclamation. The Entertainment City zone, regulated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, generates substantial international visitor flow that benefits the surrounding retail. The mall’s catchment includes the BGC residential and corporate population to the east, the Pasay-Parañaque-Las Piñas residential corridor to the south, and the substantial overseas Chinese visitor traffic to the casino resorts.

Accessibility includes direct frontage on Macapagal Boulevard and Diokno Boulevard, a free shuttle network that connects to the surrounding hotels and resorts, and the planned LRT-1 Cavite Extension that will eventually serve the Manila Bay corridor. The mall sits approximately fifteen minutes from Ninoy Aquino International Airport via the NAIA Expressway. International brands evaluating Manila Bay placement consider Ayala Malls Manila Bay alongside SM Mall of Asia as the two principal destinations on the reclamation.
