Guide to Ayala Malls Legazpi

History

In 2013, the Bicol-based LCC Group of Companies embarked on an ambitious project to construct a new shopping mall on the former site of Legazpi City’s Public Market. The Liberty City Center project aimed to revitalize the area and provide a modern shopping destination for residents. Ayala Land, a prominent player in Philippine real estate development, recognized the potential of Legazpi City and partnered with LCC Group in 2015. This collaboration resulted in the development of Ayala Malls Legazpi, a Php 1.6 billion investment that would transform the city’s retail landscape. The LCC Supermarket – Liberty City Center held a successful soft opening in December 2015, generating excitement among residents for the upcoming grand opening. Finally, in April 2016, Ayala Malls Legazpi officially opened its doors, welcoming shoppers with a vibrant selection of stores, restaurants, and entertainment options.
