The Terraces At Ayala Center Cebu

It was about a couple of year ago when Ayala Center Cebu closed down the lagoon side for reconstruction. Unlike other renovations or reconstructions from other establishments around town, this had the element of surprise tagging along it. It was covered from every inch, so that mall goers would ask about what’s really going on at that side of the mall as they pass by and as they remember the old look of the lagoon, which some people wished to see again. That new part was named the “The Terraces”, and that’s just about the only information people knew.

As time passed mall goers got used to that covered construction site and became more eager to see the results. When the big day came, I happen to be at the Ayala Center without any hint that it was the unraveling of “The Terraces”.
