Yeah, spoke to my mom, who lives in Southern California, and she told me the same thing. I wonder if it’s all the online shopping that has ruined retail brick and mortar in the US.
@@MedellinBuzz That is exactly what it is. It's called the "Amazon Effect". Looking at these malls reminds me of how the malls in the US were in the 1980s & 90s.
El Tesoro is my favorite as well. For the reasons you mentioned but most importantly because its an open air mall with fantastic views. Sante Fe has a lot to offer, they got a fun bowling alley on top floor, but I feel like Medellin is best enjoyed for its beauty outdoors. You can see more greenery when you are at El Tesoro.
Malls in America are pretty much on the downslope....but I went with a friend to some Mall in Envigado...i was like man, Malls are alive and well here.
El Tesoro all the way. Went there in feb and was blown away with hiw muvh stuff it has. That outdoor view it has conecting one part of the mall to the other is awesome.
I believe the Puerto de; Norte Mall is the closest to a metro station, however it is at the northern most stop on the Metro. It is not as high end as Santa Fe, closer to Unicentro. I believe it is the only large mall with a Home Center.
I think El Tesoro probably has the most high end shops as opposed to all the rest. As you said, I’m not sure prices are any more expensive there in the same stores, but it is definitely the most high end of all the malls in Medellin.
GShock watches alone go for as low as 80 bucks, and and high as $5000 dollars..... I didn't really find the low dollar ones at the Casio store in El Tesoro. Most of those watches in that store were like 10 million pesos... 15 million, and up. You do the math. Literal El Tesoro es pa' millonarios parce.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Unicentro, because I spent so much time there and lived less than five walking minutes away. Other than that I like Oviedo for the architecture and feel. Very old school with vegetation inside and around it, awesome (the shops lacking a bit though). Santa Fé lacks character, but has the best shopping experience. Tesoro is nice as well, from another time.
That food court in the successful mall with 70 eateries the santa fe mall obviously is just the PLACE to be. Your view of the third mall is definitely UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD..

When unicentro opened back in the 90s, the top floor near the movie theater was a huge arcade. Spent a lot of time there, good times.
The host is living the life definitely. He is so fortunate to be able to take everything in and make amazing videos and great commentary 🎉

It's so weird seeing these huge malls in Colombia thriving, while pretty much every mall in the US is either dying or closed.

Online shopping hasn't hit Colombia the same because you can't recieve you order in just 2 days and many vendors won't ship outside of the US

Crime smash and grab is destroying brick and mortar stores in California
I think you should do 2-3 day seminars for the (Medellin Masterclass), I think it would be very successful.
Definitely been to all 3.

Couldn't agree more!
So out of the three malls the unicentro is falling behind 😮
Awesome video bro!
Andrew, very good video. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!

Unicentro in Bogota is NOT exactly thriving. It's a bit old and the five story mall you show OBVIOUSLY Is thriving 😊
Unicentro maybe it's like the same in Bogota. Older styles😮
Yessss this is the content I love. Keep up the great work!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Love the out-in-the-city content! 💪
Parce, but doesn't it happen with Exito? Isnt he Exito on Calle 10 for example pricier than going to one in say, Suramericana?
I'm not 100% sure because I haven't compared. Going to have to try.
Good content, excellent information, they are all favorites for me, thanks Andrew 😍🙏👏
