About

Mall Plaza, the Chilean chain of malls owned by Falabella, first opened its doors in 1990 just outside Santiago. Today it is one of the country’s biggest companies and operates 15 retail complexes in Chile as well as three in Peru and one in Colombia. Not content with its size, Mall Plaza is currently developing a further four stores in Chile and two in Colombia. Heading legal affairs for the company is Hernán Silva Villalobos, who works within Mall Plaza’s executive management to assist the company in achieving its growth plans. With industry-leading skills in contract negotiation and real estate matters Silva has been facilitating Mall Plaza’s latest addition to its retail centre portfolio, Mall Plaza Los Dominicos, which will be located in the commune of Las Condes and will begin trading in August 2017. The company is also currently building a commercial centre in Arica which has required a $68m investment – with an area covering more than 34,000 square meters, this centre will house all the usual distinguished retail brands. In another important recent development, when Inversiones Padebest (a subsidiary of Ripley Corp) executed the division of its shopping centre operating company, Aventura Plaza, Silva was involved in securing a stake for Mall Plaza.
