INTRODUCTION
Executive Summary
This report provides a glimpse of the retail scene in Davao City
and also examines the city’s potential to be one of the country’s
next retail hot spots. Strong macroeconomic fundamentals,
driven mainly by a healthy and bourgeoning consumer
market coupled with supporting social infrastructure, have
supported the recent growth in retail space and influx of
international brands. Correspondingly, this report posits that
such fundamentals will continue to be the backbone of city’s
retail scene, allowing Davao City to be a viable option for retail
expansion outside Metro Manila.

The rapid influx of people into Davao City has transformed it into the

and estimates for 2015 are at 1.63 million.

These positive attributes and incentives feed into the already rapid urban

OUTLOOK
Davao has shown to be an appropriate market for retail expansion beyond
the capital. Its demographics have dictated the surge in retail supply in
recent years, and in turn the rise in retail demand ushering in the influx of
retailers. The rapid take-up of retail space in major malls is sure to keep
occupancy rates at a high, with optimistic projections looking at close to
100% occupancy by 2016.
So, with retail supply in the existing major malls nearing saturation, the
question arises: where does future retail growth of the city take place?
While there are no visible major shopping mall projects in the city’s pipeline
yet, future retail development is looking to take place in many of Davao’s
mixed-used developments. Township developments, such as the upcoming
Davao Park District, will incorporate retail strips and a lifestyle mall to cater
to retail expansion. IT Parks and IT-BPO buildings have also integrated retail
components into their developments. Case-in-point would be recently
opened mixed-use development Felcris Centrale, which is an IT-BPO office
with a two-floor retail podium. This corresponds with overall real estate
trends that respond to the need of the majority demographic- the working
age population. Therefore, the outlook now is that we will be seeing retail
integrated into workplaces and mixed-use township communities.
Of course, this does not take major shopping malls out of the picture. Major
malls tend to evolve over time, more often than not expanding retail space
in the process. Many of the major mall developers in the Davao, like SM and
Ayala, have sizable land banks that allow for any form of expansion.
The bourgeoning consumer market in Davao City will continue to encourage
real estate developers, and provide opportunities for local and foreign
retailers. While Davao retail is already more dynamic than it has ever been,
it will become even more vibrant as new developers and retailers enter the
market. With the right demographic fundamentals, the social infrastructure
to support the demographic, and an energetic and fresh retail sector, Davao
City is poised for further retail development and is surely a retail destination
to look out for outside the capital.
