Anyone who lives in Metro Manila knows the routine—long drives, heavy traffic, and the constant hunt for places where you can unwind after a day’s work. In contrast, Boracay has the opposite challenge. Paradise is everywhere, but modern conveniences are limited. Locals and tourists alike often wish for more spaces that bring together leisure, shopping, and culture without taking away the island’s charm.
These everyday struggles—whether of time, access, or choices—are exactly what Megaworld is addressing with its newest developments.

New Spots Rising in Manila
Across the metro, three new lifestyle destinations are about to change the way communities gather and spend their days.
1. The Shoppes at Park McKinley West (Taguig): A two-story retail hub built at the base of Park McKinley West condominiums, designed to house international names, first-in-the-country concepts, and homegrown dining treasures.
2. Vion Tower Mall (Makati): Positioned at the EDSA–Chino Roces intersection, this lifestyle mall will be a welcome stop for city commuters and office workers needing both quick convenience and a spot to linger.
3. Alabang West (Las Piñas): New retail areas will add vibrancy to the growing township, giving southern residents more reasons to stay close to home while still enjoying quality dining and shopping experiences.
Boracay’s Newcoast Beachwalk: A Different Kind of Escape
Meanwhile, in Aklan, Megaworld is making waves with the launch of Newcoast Beachwalk at Boracay Newcoast. Imagine spending the morning on Boracay’s famous white sands and, just a short walk away, discovering a beachfront café, a boutique shop, or a lively dining spot.
This isn’t just a commercial strip—it’s a lifestyle destination where the island’s natural beauty meets carefully curated experiences. For locals, it means more opportunities, more jobs, and a sense of pride in hosting something world-class. For travelers, it’s a new reason to fall in love with Boracay, proving that the island can offer both timeless serenity and modern excitement.
More Than Just Buildings
Megaworld’s expansion isn’t only about adding square meters of retail space—it’s about shaping how people live, connect, and celebrate culture. Each new project is a response to real needs: less time wasted in traffic, more reasons to stay in your own community, and more opportunities for local businesses and workers.
The numbers show the momentum—?3.33 billion in leasing revenues for the first half of 2025, a 10 percent jump from last year. But beyond figures, it’s the lived experience that matters: a mother finding a nearby café for family bonding, a young worker catching a break in a mall along his commute, or a local artisan in Boracay finally having a world-class stage for her craft.
Shaping the Way We Gather
From the streets of Manila to the shores of Boracay, Megaworld is reshaping how Filipinos and visitors spend their time. The city’s new malls are designed to ease everyday struggles, while Newcoast Beachwalk in Boracay brings a new dimension to the island’s cultural and leisure landscape.
In the end, these developments remind us that spaces matter—not just as places to shop, but as stages where stories, connections, and communities continue to grow.
