Ortigas Center began as the "Hacienda de Mandaloyon" (also known as "Mandaloyen," "Mandaloyong," or "Mandaloya"), an estate from the Augustinian Order that spanned the present day cities of San Juan, Mandaluyong, Quezon City, and Pasig. On January 20, 1920, the Augustinian friars sold this property to Dr. Frank W. Dudley and Don Francisco Ortigas. Dudley later surrendered his interest to Phil C. Whitaker, and the company became known as Whitaker and Ortigas. In the following years, there were several changes of partners. Then, on July 10, 1931, the company was incorporated as "Ortigas, Madrigal y cia., S. en C." as a limited partnership by shares (lang es). The parties to the partnership were Francisco Ortigas (Don Paco), Vicente Madrigal, B. C. M. Johnston, Fulgencio Borromeo, Clyde A. Dewitt and future President Manuel L. Quezon. When Ortigas & Company acquired the estate, it was a virtual wasteland. The vision of the management, headed by Atty. Francisco Ortigas Jr., who was president and chairman at that time, turned it into a progressive industrial, commercial and residential urban complex. It would only take until the 1960s for development to begin in the district with the building of the first structures.

Before Robinsons Galleria, this mall used to be an open land owned by SSS within Ortigas Center. In 1986, they used the land for the People Power Revolution. In 1987, John Gokongwei bought the large portion of the land from SSS. It started construction on mid 1988 and finished on late 1989. The mall opened in 1990 being the first mall of Robinsons Malls.
