Robinsons Butuan

Butuan, the center of the Caraga Region, will soon have a Robinsons Mall that will offer a new level of shopping experience in that part of Mindanao.

Arlene G. Magtibay, Robinsons Land Corporation General Manager for Commercial Centers Division, noted that the arrival of Robinsons Mall would “surely change the shopping landscape” in the Caraga Region.  It will be the first time that a national player in the malls industry will operate in the region.

Butuan is the center of commerce and trade at the Caraga Region, which comprises Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and the Dinagat Islands. Butuan has the most number of banks, and educational institutions in the region, with Fr. Saturnino Urios University as one of the biggest.

Robinsons Place Butuan is a mixed-use development that is set to accommodate a mall and a hotel.  It will rise on a 78,900 sqm lot located along Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Road.

The development will have a three-story commercial complex with approximately 40,800 sqm of gross floor area; a 100-room gohotel.ph; and a parking area with some 450 parking slots.

The mall will house more than 200 tenants including Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Department Store,  Robinsons Appliance, Handyman,  a food court, four digital cinemas, and an amusement center.

“Aside from the big food chains, we look forward to providing the locals with a pleasurable shopping experience that will include showcasing brands that are not yet available in Butuan and which the locals visit whenever they go to big cities like Manila, Cebu and Davao,” Magtibay  noted.

Soon to rise as well is the first GoHotel  in the province which, upon completion, will have  over 100 rooms  that will feature the same brand of service and comfort that other GoHotels in the country are known for.

Robinsons Place Butuan will also have a DFA Consular Office which will accept applications for new passports as well as renewals.
