Ayala Malls, known for innovative retail developments, building beyond commercial spaces and creating well-planned lifestyle centers, has raised the bar once again by winning three highly-coveted awards in the first ever ICSC Asia Shopping Centre Awards in Macau.

The International Council of Shopping Centers, Inc. (ICSC) is the global trade and professional association of the retail real estate industry. Through its Asia Shopping Centre Awards, it recognizes excellence within the region’s shopping centre industry and honors outstanding achievements in marketing and design/development of retail properties.

The award-winning entries are:

• BRAVO FILIPINO: A Tribute to Filipinos’ Creativity and Ingenuity - GOLD Award (Marketing, Community Relations)
  Conceptualized by Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala, Bravo Filipino is a four-month festival celebrating the Filipino genius in music, fashion, photography and dance during the opening of Greenbelt 5.
• BONIFACIO HIGH STREET - GOLD AWARD (Development and Design)
  Bonifacio High Street is the first “main street” development in the Philippines, the focal point of what is envisioned as the next megacity in Metropolitan Manila.
• TRINOMA: The Philippines’ Largest, Richest City Wakes Up to a Mall They Can Call Their Own - SILVER AWARD (Development and Design)
  The opening of Trinoma transformed the city into a hub of commerce and activities – similar to the Penn Station in New York but bigger. It houses unique shopping, dining and entertainment to provide only the very best to the market that it serves.
