Filinvest City
Barangay Alabang, part of the second district of Muntinlupa, has undergone tremendous growth mainly due to a development boom in the late 1990s. The development of high-end large scale commercial real estate projects; the Filinvest City, changed the landscape of the Alabang where it was once vast fields of cow pasture until the late 1980s, into a district that houses new residential, business, industrial and commercial establishments.[citation needed]
Shopping centers
Festival Alabang is a large shopping mall owned and operated by Filinvest Development Corporation located at Filinvest City in Barangay Alabang, Muntinlupa. The mall opened in the middle of May 1998, and it became Filinvest's flagship project, setting the standard for shopping centers in the south of Metro Manila. The whole Festival Alabang complex has an area of over 30 hectares (74 acres), the biggest mall in south Metro Manila (tied with Ayala Malls Manila Bay).[citation needed]
Festival Alabang is the biggest of all five current malls in city. It is also adjacent to some of the largest malls south of Metro Manila, namely Alabang Town Center, SM Southmall, and other malls like Starmall Alabang (formerly Metropolis Star Alabang), Liana's Alabang, and Ayala Malls South Park.[citation needed]
