In the early 1960s, plans were drawn up to create a fully complemented first class residential community to include schools, churches and what was then the most modern concept for a shopping center as its centerpiece.

Plans for building the Greenhills Shopping Center began in 1966 following two years of studying some of the world’s most advanced community development projects.

The proposed concept for the Greenhills Shopping Center, modern in every aspect and suited to local conditions, was presented by Architect Juan Nakpil. The concept included a supermarket, a movie house, variety stores, a bowling alley, service shops and restaurants.

The Greenhills subdivisions, which cover 197 hectares, provided a ready market for the commercial complex.

Today, the massive redevelopment efforts that the company has embarked on in the last seven (7) years has led to the evolution of Greenhills Shopping Center into the Philippine’s premier shopping, entertainment, and dining destination, with over 2,000 stores and venues. It has also put the country in the international shopping map with its world-class pearls and reputation as a value-shopping mecca.
