DOUBLEDRAGON’S DRAGON8 MALL IN DIVISORIA MANILA HITS WEEKEND 3-YEAR-HIGH CUSTOMER FOOT TRAFFIC OF 67,136 AND EXPECTED TO FURTHER INCREASE IN THE COMING DAYS
DAILY CUSTOMER FOOT TRAFFIC IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED 200,000 ONCE THE NSCR URBAN RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT IS COMPLETED
The Dragon8 Mall in Divisoria, Manila experienced its busiest weekend yet, welcoming 67,136 customers, and this traffic is anticipated to surge even more in the coming days. Once the NSCR urban rail transit project wraps up, daily foot traffic is projected to soar past 200,000, amplifying the momentum.
Situated prominently at the intersection of Recto Avenue and Dagupan streets in Divisoria Manila, the six-story Dragon8 Mall is a bustling hub at the heart of the area. With 405 active tenants and popular dining options like Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Highlands Coffee, and Chowking, it stands as a thriving commercial center.
The mall’s accessibility is set to expand with a footbridge directly linking it to the third floor, a thoughtful addition for train commuters, especially with the impending completion of the Malolos-Tutuban rail project, anticipated to serve 200,000 daily travelers.
This railway development is part of the extensive North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR) urban transit system spanning 163 kilometers from Calamba Laguna to Clark in Central Luzon. The 38-kilometer Malolos-Tutuban segment is poised to reduce travel time to just 35 minutes, enhancing connectivity and further invigorating economic activity in the Divisoria Manila area.
Dragon8 Mall’s strategic location on its titled land in Divisoria provides an edge, contrasting with other commercial complexes on leased property. DoubleDragon’s astute strategy over the past nine years since its IPO in the Philippine Stock Exchange has secured over a hundred hectares of prime titled land in key locations, foreseeing substantial long-term value appreciation.
DoubleDragon’s commitment has materialized in its impressive Total Assets of ₱163 Billion and the completion of 1.3 Million Square Meters of GFA portfolio. The company holds a belief in the enduring value of carefully selected titled prime hard assets, anticipating their robust appreciation over time, as evident in its diversified and sizable land holdings.
The company’s nationwide portfolio in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao is slated to mature by 2025, projecting an asset value exceeding ₱250 Billion by 2030, excluding its overseas holdings, emphasizing a strategic, expansive, and enduring growth trajectory.
