A P1.55-billion mall and residential building, to be called The Top at the Benisons, is also set to rise on Recto Avenue. It is especially meant for Chinese entrepreneurs from other cities in Metro Manila who want to live near their businesses in the area.[3] The four major malls currently in Divisoria are:

The 25,000 sq m complex that caters to the upper A and B classes was named as such because the Chinese consider “168” a lucky number, and it roughly translates to “road to success” in Chinese. [5]
