History

The Gateway Square occupies 5 hectares (12 acres) of the Araneta City complex and occupies the areas surrounding the Smart Araneta Coliseum's surrounding areas, such as the Araneta Coliseum open parking areas located along General Araneta, General Mc Arthur, and General Aguinaldo Avenues, the Gateway Food Park, and the former Gateway-Farmers Plaza footbridge, which connects the Gateway Mall 1 to the nearby Farmers Plaza mall and offers a direct connection to the MRT 3 Araneta Center–Cubao station. The development serves as part of the Araneta Center Redevelopment Master Plan unveiled in 2000, aimed to redevelop the Araneta Center, currently rebranded as the Araneta City, with the construction of a variety of new malls, office buildings, hotels, residential towers, and other new mixed-use properties, as well as the renovation of the Araneta Coliseum. [1] One of the first plans laid out within the area within the 2000s is a mixed-use development located along the stretch of General Aguinaldo Avenue and General Mc Arthur Avenues, which also passes along General Araneta Avenue, where the current site of the Novotel up to the area where Farmers Market is currently located. The plan includes two high-rise towers along with a mall encompassing the southern side of the Araneta Coliseum, three mid-rise towers, and also includes a planned Piazza where Farmers Market currently stands. The plan was eventually scrapped in the 2010s as the present layout of the complex was favored.

Construction within the complex began in October 2002 with the groundbreaking of the Gateway Mall 1 after the demolition of the area's former buildings, such as the Aurora Shopping Arcade, the Quezon Arcade and the Plaza Fair department store. [2] [3] Additional developments were later constructed in the following years after the completion of the Gateway Mall 1 on 2004, as part of the next phases of the redevelopment master plan, such as the construction of the Gateway Office Building in 2005, aimed to cater the rising business process outsourcing market in the country in the early 2000s, the construction of the Parking Garage South in 2012, and the renovation of the Araneta Coliseum in 2012, which was aimed to modernize the coliseum's facilities and amenities. [4]

In 2008, after years of negotiations and finalized plans to construct a 4-star hotel in the area, the Araneta Group launched the Novotel Manila Araneta City, and later serves as one of the crown jewel projects in the area. [5] Two years later, in 2010, construction for both the Gateway Gateway Tower and the Novotel Manila Araneta City began. Both buildings were eventually completed in 2014, while the Novotel began its operations on the following year in 2015. [6]

The final stages of the complex was laid out in 2014, during the planning stages of the Gateway Mall 2, the expansion project of the Gateway Mall 1 and the Ibis Styles Araneta City. [7] Construction of the Gateway Mall 2 and the Ibis Styles hotel began in 2017, following the closure of the Gateway Food Park and the Araneta Coliseum open parking area located along General Araneta Avenue. Construction officially began with the capsule-laying ceremony of the Gateway Mall 2 and Ibis Styles Hotel on 31 July 2018. [8] The Gateway Mall 2 and Ibis Styles hotel complex was topped off on 11 February 2020, and was initially planned to open within the 4th quarter of 2020, while the Ibis Styles Hotel was aimed to begin full operations in early 2021. [9] The opening of the Gateway Mall 2 and Ibis Styles Hotel was later delayed due to the effects of the lockdowns imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic and due to the costing issues within the construction of the buildings along the Araneta City between the Araneta Group and Megawide. [10] [11] The delays also caused design changes and a change in construction matters.

Renovations were also made in the Araneta Coliseum in 2023, as the country hosted the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. As the tournament was held the same period, the Gateway Mall 2 was fully opened on 1 September 2023. [12] [13] [14] [15] In March 2024, the Ibis Styles Hotel was formally opened, and the hotel's full operations began in September 2024. [16]
