Limketkai Mall (Chinese: 林市場偕中心) is the biggest lifestyle shopping mall in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. It is owned and developed by Limketkai Sons, Inc., the largest factory and business district developer in the city. Located in the city's central business district, particularly within the mixed-use 40 hectare Limketkai Center, the sprawling, two story mall has more than 300 tenants and a total retail area of 72,000 m². Not included is the number of tenants and total retail areas of 2 story Robinsons Cagayan de Oro, the first Robinsons mall in Mindanao, which is connected to mall's west concourse since 2005; 2 story Gateway Mall, which opened on 2009, is now linked to the mall by skybridge; Rosario Arcade, an upscale alfresco area, which underwent recent expansion, has been a favorite night life and dining destination in the city; and east concourse expansion that opened on 2010 is home of SSI stores. Operational since 1992, it has undergone major renovation and massive expansion in all fronts since 2003. Part of the east concourse expansion now is the 3 story hypermarket that will house Rustan's Shopwise, another first in Mindanao. Another Robinsons supermarket and department store bigger than its existing Robinsons will replace its former major anchor store, Plaza Fair that existed for almost two decades. Both national retail giants are slated to open before the year 2013 ends. Home of 'many firsts' in the city, it offers local, national and international brands of botiques, coffee shops, restaurants, fitness centers and health clinics. It has foodcourt and four cinemas offering three 2Ds and one 3D. Another upscale 24/7 alfresco strip called Gateway Park is now under construction. Its rotunda and modern convention center called Atrium, which can accommodate 3500 people, have been the venues of local, national and international events in the city. More high-end shops, restaurants and additional two cinemas are about to open once the expansion is finished. A multi-level park lot is already in the pipeline.

Estimated of having more than 135,000 gross floor area exclusive of recent expansions, Limketkai Mall has evolved into a huge, world class shopping destination today.
