Poblacion Market Central

Additional energy efficient measures such as LED lights, water-saving toilet fixtures, and rainwater harvesting were also implemented to improve the sustainability of the project.

For lower maintenance cost, the building has minimal applied finishes. Bare concrete walls and columns, exposed slab soffits, visible utilities and polished floor dominate the general look of the structure. Accent metal works with green creeper and landscaping were also implemented to soften the overall structure and act to filter the harsh sun.

Aside from the rich local products that contrast with the simple exposed concrete structure of the building, colorful architectural appliqués were incorporated to make the building livelier and fuller of character. Traditional patterns from the different tribes of Mindanao inspired the ethno-modern graphical designs highlighted on the metal works, columns, and most of the interior spaces. Murals painted by local artists expressing the beauty of the city also adorn the interiors. The PMC Food Hall, designed in collaboration with DDC Architectural Studio, also reflects the vibrant and festive culture of Mindanao.

Set to be Davao’s next dining, shopping and lifestyle destination, PMC will become the new home of Aldevinco Shopping Center, one of Davao’s finest Commercial Development with a history spanning over 50 years. The owner, Alsons Dev, aims to continue the legacy of promoting local and Mindanao culture, heritage and identity as well as taking pride to the third-generation shop owners of Aldevinco Shopping Center for the continuous support over the past few decades.

PMC will also highlight wide selections of local foods that are carefully curated in a fun and stimulating ambiance. Through this, PMC aims to incorporate the rich history and traditions of Mindanao into the modern and contemporary culture that we have today.
