History
In September 2013, Bicol-based retailer LCC Group of Companies held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new shopping mall called Liberty City Center.[6] It is located on the site of the former Legazpi Public Market bounded by Luis Los Baños Avenue to the north, Quezon Avenue to the east and Rizal Street and F. Imperial Street to the south. The planned shopping center sits on land owned by the city government and leased by LCC under a 50-year lease agreement.[7]
In January 2015, Legazpi City Mayor Noel E. Rosal announced that Ayala Land (ALI) had partnered with LCC Group of Companies for the new mall development to be called "Ayala Malls Legazpi".[8] In subsequent news reports, ALI confirmed that they will invest Php1.6 billion in the development of the new shopping complex.[2] Under the partnership, ALI will operate the mall while LCC will operate the department store and supermarket.[2]
The LCC Supermarket - Liberty City Center held its soft opening on December 16, 2015.[9] The full mall formally opened on April 19, 2016. The grand opening was led by local government officials and top executives of Ayala Land.[10]

Ayala Malls Legazpi is a four-level shopping mall built on a 1.4-hectare (3.5-acre) lot. The mall has a four-storey atrium designed to let in natural light inside the mall and as a means of ventilation.[4][11]
