Once upon a time there was just a flea market. Now, standing before TriNoma, it’s hard to believe this bustling shopping center was once People’s Park. That flea market closed in 1995. It made way for the MRT Line 3 depot’s construction.
TriNoma, short for “Triangle North of Manila”, officially opened on May 16, 2007. It quickly became a major shopping destination in Quezon City. TriNoma is owned by Ayala Land. It stands proudly on the east side of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue. This location puts it in direct competition with SM City North EDSA.
TriNoma boasts a gross leasable area of 195000 square meters. It houses over 550 shops, restaurants, and services. You’ll find both local and international brands here. There are anchor stores like The Landmark Supermarket and Department Store. You can find brands like American Eagle and Lacoste too.
But TriNoma is more than just a shopping mall. Ascend to the TriNoma Park. This two-level park spans one hectare. It features restaurants, a stage, and water pools. Various events and performances take place here. The park links to the mall’s third level. It offers a green escape from the urban hustle.
TriNoma even caters to spiritual needs. It houses three religious facilities. There is St Michael the Archangel Chapel on the second floor. The Mary Mother of Hope Chapel is on the fourth floor of The Landmark. New Life Metro is on the ground floor.
For entertainment, TriNoma offers seven cinemas. They are located on the fourth level. After a film, visit the Timezone arcade. It’s one of the largest arcade chains in the Philippines.
Did you know that TriNoma allows small pets? You can bring them inside. Just make sure they are carried or in a dog bag.
TriNoma sits atop the Line 3 Depot. It’s directly connected to the North Avenue MRT station. Getting here is easy and convenient.
As you explore TriNoma, remember its history. From a simple flea market to a modern shopping destination. TriNoma continues to evolve. It enhances the Quezon City experience for everyone.
