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.{{cite web|url=http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/61459/lucky-luxury-mall-set-to-redefine-chinatown |title='Lucky' luxury mall set to redefine Chinatown |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer |accessdate=25 January 2015}}
