| The Pop Up Katipunan |
Have you
ever heard of container van architecture? If you haven’t, then you’re probably
missing out on something. I had the rare opportunity to sleep in a container
van turned into a hotel/inn during my previous travel gigs but I hadn’t seen an
al fresco mall which had its tenants in a movable container van architecture
until I’ve been to The Pop Up Katipunan recently.
Situated
right in the heart of Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, The Pop Up’s dynamic
architecture allows itself to become a must-visit place for partying or simply
hanging out with friends at night after a grueling work day. It’s also a unique
lifestyle mall during the day where family can spend their quality time dining
out in one of the establishments.
Do not
underestimate the container architecture of The Pop Up Katipunan. One of the
many advantages of this unique lifestyle mall is that the container vans can be
rearranged in a matter of hours—and could easily transform itself to
accommodate fully-functional retail space from its large-scale events place
vibe.
I recently
toured The Pop Up Katipunan and I’d have to say I was pretty impressed. There
were several constructions which are now in full swing such as the Alliance MMA
Gym which is said to be owned by popular MMA fighter Brandon Vera, who happens
to be a good friend of my Uncle, former UFC MMA fighter, Mark Munoz, better
known as “The Filipino Wrecking Machine."
Mr. Jeffrey Oh, one of The Pop Up Katipunan owners said that it will
even house an acrylic swimming pool on its roof deck.
