It is situated at the intersection of Marcos Highway, and Felix Avenue (formerly known as Imelda Avenue), located at Barangay San Isidro, Cainta, Rizal, Philippines, beside Robinsons Metro East.

History

In 1991, certain of the market potentials in the east side of the metropolis and driven by the desire to diversify, Sta. Lucia East Realty and Development, Inc. (SLRDI) built Phase 1 of Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall. Two years later, in 1993, Phase II was formally opened to offer better facilities, more specialty stores, service centers, additional cinemas, a 32-lane bowling center, an entertainment arcade and a junior department store.

On May 18, 1998, Phase III was unveiled which offered bigger spaces and more comprehensive shopping and entertainment facilities. In 2005, the mall's six cinemas were renovated and it became known as the Theatre Zone. The mall was declared as a Wi-Fi zone in 2007, offering free internet access to all shoppers.^[3]

In 2014, SLRDI has finished constructing the 3-level mall called iL Centro located next to the mall and is connected by a bridge offering more shops, and services. It will serve as the podium of the planned five-tower development called Sta. Lucia Residenzes.^[2]
