History

Robinsons Place Dumaguete Logo used from its opening in 2009 until the logo's unification with other Robinsons Malls

Robinsons Place Dumaguete opened on November 23, 2009, making it the 27th shopping mall development of Robinsons Malls, a division under Robinsons Land Corporation.[1] It was constructed by Freyssinet Philippines, Inc. and is RLC's sixth mall development in the Visayas, and second in Negros Island after Robinsons Place Bacolod.

The mall has been awarded by the Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) as the Mall of the Year for 2012.[2]

In October 2015, the Department of Foreign Affairs opened a passport office at the mall's second level.[3] RPD launched the Lingkod Pinoy Center wherein some government agencies have put up offices inside the mall such as Professional Regulation Commission, SSS, Philhealth, LTO, PhilPost, Bureau of Quarantine and PSA.

The mall's major redevelopment and expansion is partially completed with new stores opening.[4]
