Mitsukoshi BGC is a shopping mall at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is the first outlet of the Japanese retail chain Mitsukoshi in the Philippines.
In 2018, [2] Japanese firm Mitsukoshi, Ltd. announced that it would be opening the first branch of its retail chain in the Philippines. [3]
The retail outlet, which would be known as Mitsukoshi BGC would be developed as a joint project between Japanese companies Nomura Real Estate Development and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings; with Philippine firm Federal Land. [4] The project includes the adjacent Seasons Residences. [4] [5]
Mitsukoshi BGC partially started operations with its soft opening on November 18, 2022. [6] [7] The grand opening for the Mitsukoshi mall would be held on July 21, 2023. [4]
Mitsukoshi BGC serves as the podium structure for the four-tower The Seasons Residences residential complex. [8] The mall structure covers four storeys, which includes a basement level. [1] [6]
The Seasons including the podium which hosts the mall was designed by Japanese firm Torafu Architects with collaboration with artist Asao Tokolo. [8] The façade, which is a product of the collaboration, features a geometric design that is a derivation of the Japanese hemp leaf. [9]
Mitsukoshi BGC deviates from the standard department store model of the Mitsukoshi brand and instead follows a shopping mall format with 120 tenants when it first opened. [10]
Marketed as a "lifestyle mall", Mitsukoshi BGC primarily features stores and outlets under Japanese brands. In its basement it host the Itadaki Food Court as well as Mitsukoshi Fresh, a depachika or food market. [5]
