History

Megaworld in 2008 bought land in Binondo which was previously occupied two Manila public high schools, the Rajah Soliman High School and José Abad Santos High School. New structures were built for the schools elsewhere in the city. A mall was built in its place.^[2]

The Luck Chinatown shopping mall was officially opened on August 15, 2012 as part of the Chinatown Heritage Project. President Benigno Aquino III attended the opening ceremony.^[3]

In 2019, Lucky Chinatown complex expanded with the inauguration of the Hotel Lucky Chinatown on April 10 and the opening of the Chinatown Museum in June.^[4][5]
