HOMEGROWN retail chain New City Commercial Corp. (NCCC) Mall Ma-a promises a good mix of local and international brands and targets 400 tenants by the end of 2024.
The mall’s construction, which started in 2021, is currently at 50%, and is in full swing since the construction’s resumption post-pandemic. With a total lot area of 28,200.64 square meters, it is set to top off in the first quarter of 2024. Dubbed Davao’s homegrown mall, its design is inspired by the Philippine Eagle and will have an earthy color palette resembling the natural hues and appearance of the bird.
