Forum Robinsons

Forum Robinsons, formerly called as Robinsons Place Pioneer, was a shopping mall located in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines owned and operated by Robinsons Land.^[1][2] The mall opened on November 17, 2004. It is the 18th mall opened by Robinsons and the first mall in Mandaluyong with a gross floor area of 56,000 square meters (600,000 sq ft).^[3] The former name Robinsons Place Pioneer was dubbed after its location, Pioneer Street. Back then, the mall was envisioned to become a one stop shop for everyone in Cybergate Complex which was in turn envisioned to become a cyberhub in the city.^[4] In 2010, the mall was renamed to its current name to re-position itself as a cyber lifestyle mall focusing on IT products and to align itself with the vision of the Cybergate Complex.
