(25 November, 2020, Pasay City) SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), one of the leading integrated property developers in Southeast Asia, will open on Friday, November 27th, its first mall in Zamboanga City and the seventh mall in Mindanao, SM City Mindpro. Offering almost 38,000 square meters (sqm.) of gross floor area (GFA), this newest landmark is located at the heart of the downtown area along La Purisima Street, Zamboanga City.
“The opening of SM City Mindpro in Zamboanga is a testament to the flourishing economic activities in Mindanao boosting the confidence of SM Prime to continue its expansion plans in the region. We are delighted to welcome our fellow Zamboangueños to this newest SM mall, and assure everyone of safety protocols implemented in accordance with government guidelines,” SM Prime President Jeffrey C. Lim said.
Opening with more than 90% of space-lease awarded, SM City Mindpro will have four levels of mixed local and foreign shops that will provide entertainment and convenience in the city and its neighboring provinces. SM’s well-loved stores such as The SM Store, SM Supermarket, Uniqlo, Sports Central, Watsons, SurPlus, Ace Hardware, and BDO will lead the opening of the mall along with other exciting amenities such as SM Cinema, Cyberzone, local and international food, and fashion establishments, sports and specialty stores, services shops and a carpark.
“The easing of quarantine protocols in various areas in the country has led to the reopening of businesses that will help our economy bounce back quicker. We hope that through SM City Mindpro, which provides a center of convergence for economic, social, and cultural activities, Zamboangueños will experience utmost convenience as they seek essential services as well as entertainment during these times,” Mr. Lim added.
SM Prime started expanding in Mindanao with SM City Davao in 2001, followed by SM City Cagayan de Oro in 2002, SM City General Santos and SM Lanang Premier in 2012, SM CDO Downtown in 2017, and SM City Butuan, just recently, this early November.
