    Some of it were ours. Select SM Malls would have certain portions of their dept used out tiles din. The whole floors of Vertis Mall were ours.

    Malls need to get high end flooring because of the high wear and tear from foot traffic.

    Ayala Malls use natural stones such as granite but they import cheaper tiles for their real estate.

    Rockwell spends for their flooring, even the parking lot is epoxy coated which is why its noisy.

    Which mall's flooring looks cheap? Most of the NCR ones are pretty decent. It could just be really old and poorly maintained flooring like Makati Cinema Square

    There is a grocery in Alabang where the floor is never straight and there is always someone repairing something

    How I see it as a common person (non architect or engineer or interior designer)

    Rockwell, Greenbelt and Serendra expensive
    Uptown, Glorietta and Aura ordinary
    Market Market (inside) and SM cheap

    BTW I like Evia, it looks like an Ayala mall (which is a compliment)

    "i'll know it if i like it or not, when i see it".

    if i don't think about it, it's probably ok.

    May I ask some advice from you guys about lot acquisition. I'm eyeing to buy a piece of land (900sqm) for future use.

    When I did an ocular, it's currently filled with sugarcane and grasses. The lot seems OK, until I checked Google maps.

    The yellow box in the pictures is the said lot, what I'm curious about are the red arrows, do you think it is a small creek or waterway? Weird enough, this land feature didn't show during ocular. Click image for larger version.
