8990 Holdings gives mall dev’t priority over office, housing units

8990 Holdings Inc. is placing mall development high on its priority list as part of the strategy to boost foot traffic in its mixed-use communities in Ortigas and Tondo before developing the residential and office components in the two locations.

“Hopefully, after all permits are settled this year, then maybe we can start the malls,” President and Chief Executive Officer (COE) Januario Jesus Atencio told reporters last week.
