DoubleDragon Properties Inc. said
Wednesday it has secured its 14th site for the planned chain of community malls
under CityMall brand.
DoubleDragon said in a disclosure to
the stock exchange unit CityMalls Commercial Center signed a joint venture for
a 1.1-hectare prime commercial center along Araneta Street in Bacolod City
where CityMall-Goldenfields Bacolod will be constructed.
The company said the site was an
integral part of the six-hectare Goldenfields Commercial Complex that would
soon be redeveloped as a new and vibrant mixed-use development to serve
northern part of Bacolod.
“CityMall-Goldenfields Bacolod is
another prime and strategic site secured by CMCCI and put the company on track
to meet the goal of completing and operating 25 CityMalls by the end of 2015
and 100 CityMalls by 2020,” DoubleDragon said.
The future site is located across the
old Bacolod Airport and is only a few meters from the numerous residential
subdivisions, schools and commercial establishments that surround it.
Bacolod City is the capital and center
of commerce and finance in Negros Occidental and is the most populous city in
Western Visayas.
DoubleDragon, which was listed with
the Philippine Stock Exchange in February, aims to become one of the largest
commercial and residential developers by 2020.
It expects net income to reach P1
billion by 2016 and P4.8 billion by 2020.
The developer plans to spend P24
billion to build 100 CityMalls stores across the country with a gross floor
area of 700,000 square meters.
