Grand Opening: Oct 2007Photo Credit: ashley12
TriNoma. Branded as "Regional Supermall" the newest Ayala Mall development in northern Metro Manila is located in EDSA corner North Avenue in Quezon City, Philippines. Sitting on top of the MRT3 Depot, Ayala Land owns 49% of it. Directly connected to MRT3 North Avenue Station for easy access. The mall is near the SM North Edsa complex, West, North and Mindanao Avenues. The mall caters to mass and high-class markets but apparently more focused on the latter. The 3.5 Billion Peso Shopping Mall was Unveiled last April 25, 2007 at 11AM, opened to the public last May 16, 2007 for preview and had it's soft-opening just recently. Visitors compare TriNoma to Glorietta, Market! Market and Greenbelt due to it's strictly high-class details and unique design, redefining the "supermall". Everyone who has been there were simply stunned with "Wow" and "Beautiful!" truly making it the "North Star".
It is a huge, 4 level mall with the grand entrance near Mindanao Avenue similar to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon with trees and a fountain. Offers a pleasing mix of 550 medium to high-end retail, exclusive and flagship stores (90% leased-out, 597 capacity), 8-level-3,500-slot parking area, 7 all-digital stadium-seating movie auditoriums including 1 THX Certified Cinema, the 2nd Landmark Dept. Store, their signature activity center for special events and performances, the Largest TimeZone in the Philippines at 1,300 sq.meters, RedBox Karaoke and their most talked-about and breath-taking indoor park lined with greens, plants and trees with 7 water features including the mini lake and reverse waterfall! High-end stores include Zara, Lacoste, Topshop and Mango. The mall's front glass windows changes colours at night and winds blowing to the leaves of plants and trees adds serenity to it's beautiful achitecture and colours. There's alot more room for mall expansion, office development and hotels. The city also planned developments in the area, proposed train stations for LRT-1 north extension, and MRT-7 near the mall and mix-use space for office and living in the North and East Triangle.
On the other hand, SM, the largest mall operator in the country wont just sit and watch, they're currently in panic mode by doing a major, major facelift by redeveloping SM North Edsa. SM answers TriNoma's concept with the creation of Annex 3 or "The Block", the high end part of the mall which has been completed. The SM Dept. store has been upgraded to a new look, posted a redevelopment plan rendering including a Sky Garden and the new Annex 1 & 2 which will house the 2nd IMAX theater in the Country by 2008; all answers to TriNoma's challenge. It's a shame that the concepts are being copied but in the end, there's only one winner in this battle, us! The customers. ;-) Happy Shopping!

Thanks for dropping a note on my blog.
Hindi pa nga bukas eh, criticisms agad? That’s not fair. Wait for it to open on October 2007.
Then Criticize the aircon, the closed cinemas, the parking, the closed shops, turpentine and vinegar odors..
Parking is bad, true! But only for Big/Fat cars, it’s kinda difficult to turn..That’s all..
You probably did not read MY WHOLE ENTRY before judging me as "not fair". talk about being unfair.
READ: "This trinoma mall still needs a lot of improvements and we probably didnt wait enough. we learned some lessons from this first time at trinoma experience. Don’t trust their signs to places (yet), bring cash, “you know where’s the exit”."
that was my first time there. should i tell everyone how my experiences are every single time i go there EVERY WEEK? you probably do that because you've set up a blog dedicated to the mall.

TriNoma is great! I admire the Hanging Gardens of Babylon look, the TimeZone there is really big compared to others..And especially the Cinemas, I had a great time there, from the time I bought some tickets and to the time I finished watching,. I think I must give a compliment to the employees of the ticket booth, their friendly especially the girl named Rachel who assisted me,. she's good, very approachable, friendly, and does not hesitate to give a sweet smile to people..She's pretty!
Anyway, the air conditioning is good, the comfort rooms are very clean, all you need is there, perfect for family and friends, and easy access to people, aligned with MRT Station..
I love this Mall, every week I go here with my classmates and hang around..Thanks TriNoma!
Youknow what, nd pala pwudeng magdala ng dog sa Trinoma, like shih shue or a litte dog, they are not animal friendly environment. we go there yesterday, w/ our lovely pet,but,sad to say na naiwan ang kawawang dog sa car nmin...imagine, shes only a little dog....w/ her dog bag....
