A mall story ‘Done Rockwell’
Nowadays, the world is always in a rush.The digital age paved the way for us to get answers, purchase items, or solve problems instantly with just a click of a button. The quick speed of the internet has gradually become our standard for many aspects of our life.
As we move about in a rush every day, we yearn to experience something new, exciting and extraordinary. Our interests have become much more difficult to pique.
But moving too fast in life can be draining. Things can become mundane when we realize that, rushing through life with gadgets in tow, we fail to interact with others. That’s why, despite our busy schedules, we ought to stop once in a while and appreciate the joy in slow living.
Better yet, we ought to find a middle ground. We need a place which harbors our need for evolving experiences but allows us to make meaningful human connections. The Power Plant Mall by Rockwell might just be that place for you.
Adaptive reuse
Once the former site of a decommissioned thermal plant in Makati City, the Power Plant Mall today features more than 300 shops—including a supermarket, artisan restaurants, uspcale retail stores and state-of-the-art cinemas. It also caters to the quickly-changing palate of modern consumers by frequently hosting pop-up designer stores, restaurants and retail shops.
This mall, in fact, is one of the most successful examples of adaptive reuse in the Philippines, as it continues to be an icon of luxury and hope.
Evolving and innovating
With the rise of e-commerce, cashless transactions, and social media-driven shopping, traditional brick-and-mortar businesses now have an opportunity to offer more than just products.
“People now seek unique experiences and meaningful connections. It’s increasingly important to innovate and remain relevant, continuously meeting evolving customer expectations. Adapting to these changes is crucial in sustaining success, especially considering that the lifespan of retail concepts and restaurants has become shorter in today’s landscape compared to prepandemic times,” said Tin Coqueiro, vice president for Retail Development of Rockwell Land.
This is why, Coqueiro explained, they’re constantly innovating to ensure that their mall offers fresh and delightful experiences for customers every time they visit.
For instance, the Balmori Suites Chef’s Table features local cuisine prepared by talented Filipino chefs. Restaurants such as 12/10 and The Test Kitchen have frequently changing menus to satisfy ever-changing palates. The Proscenium Retail Row also offers a variety of food that caters to the Rockwell community at different times of the day. Meanwhile, in terms of fashion and beauty products, the Maisonette showcases local beauty brands such as BLK Cosmetics, Happy Skin, and Tili Dahli.
Embracing technology
Besides its constantly evolving offers, the Power Plant Mall has also embraced technology to create more personalized and convenient experiences.
The Rockwellist app, which is available on smartphones, features rewards programs, raffles, and a points program for frequent mall patrons. Soon, the mall will also provide automated parking exits to provide their customers a contact-free movement in and out of its premises.
“Our commitment to prioritize our customers’ needs extends beyond the physical space,” Coqueiro added.
Overall, the Power Plant Mall is the ultimate destination for those who want to enjoy a continuously evolving retail experience. The mall serves to remind us that while most things are in a rush nowadays, we ought to take a break sometimes to enjoy what makes us human.
Celebrate life’s sweet joys at Power Plant Mall today.
