MANILA- The Villar family, the group behind Starmalls Inc., is poised to tap the upscale and mass markets for its two new shopping mall brands.<\/p>\n

Starmalls chairman Manuel B. Villar Jr. said in a briefing that the company has developed two new shopping concepts, namely Starmall Prima and Starmall Strip.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarmalls is determined to up the ante and raise the level of the mall experience for the Filipino by building higher quality malls with a more dynamic tenant mix, wider retail and service offerings, and interiors and exteriors inspired by the world\u2019s more trend-setting commercial hubs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Starmall Prima conceptualizes new ideas on mall design and function, and will include an upgraded level of tenants.<\/p>\n

Set to open in the city of Taguig, the first Starmall Prima will be a 55,000-square meter project. This will be followed by Starmall Prima branches in Sta. Rosa, Laguna and Molino, Cavite within the next two years.<\/p>\n

Villar added that the Starmalls\u2019 anchor branch along EDSA in Mandaluyong will down the road be converted to Starmall Prima, as well.<\/p>\n

Starmall Strip on the other hand, is the group\u2019s community mall concept.<\/p>\n

Nearly 100 sites have been pinpointed as potential venues for Starmall Strips. These strips will service communities developed by Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc., also among the Villar family\u2019s holdings.<\/p>\n

Starmalls targets to open 22 shopping centers by 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
