The area attracts a daily average foot traffic of about 200,000 people.
It is currently the fourth largest shopping mall in the Philippines and the fourteenth in the world.When it opened in 2006 it was the largest shopping mall in the Philippines until SM City North EDSA was redeveloped in 2008, and was relegated to third place by the expansion of SM Megamall from 2011 to 2015 when SM Seaside City Cebu opened to the public before returning to this spot in 2017.
