SM Mall of Asia Walking Tour Overview
Pasay City Manila Philippines. SM Mall of Asia is a shopping mall in
Bay City,
Pasay,
Philippines, near the SM
Central Business Park, the
Manila Bay, and the southern end of
Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.
Owned and developed by
SM Prime Holdings, the largest mall chain owner and developer in the Philippines, it has a land area of 42 hectares, a gross floor area of approximately 406,962 square metres and attracts a daily average foot traffic of about
200,
000 people.
It is the 10th largest shopping mall in the world in terms of gross leasable area. When it opened in
2006 it was the largest shopping mall in the Philippines until
SM City North EDSA was redeveloped in 2008, and was relegated to third place by the expansion of
SM Megamall in
2011.
Mall of Asia consists of four buildings interconnected by walkways; the main mall, the entertainment mall, and the north and south carpark buildings.
The main mall includes shopping and dining establishments and the food court. The entertainment mall is a two-story complex, most of which is open-air, and faces Manila Bay. Both have concierge desks.
The mall's 5,000 parking spaces are divided across two, six-story parking buildings conveniently designated the north and south parking buildings. The south parking building houses the mall's official
SM Department Store, while the mall's supermarket, the
SM Hypermarket is located at the north parking building.
Since opening in 2006, visitors to the mall have been welcomed by large steel framed globe on a roundabout at the southern tip of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue. In 2009, the globe was turned into Globamaze, an
LED display.
The mall includes branches of all of the standard anchor stores found in most of the
SM Supermalls. The first-ever branch of
Taste Asia, one of the SM Supermalls' food court brands, is located right outside the mall's supermarket, the sprawling SM Hypermarket.
One of the mall's main attractions is the first ever
IMAX theater in the country, along with a
Director's
Club Theater for intimate screenings (30 La-Z-Boy seats), a
Premiere Cinema, and the CenterStage Cinema which can used for live musical concerts and theatrical performances.
The San Miguel-Coca-Cola
IMAX Theatre is one of the world's biggest IMAX screens in 3D including 2D screenings.
In addition to the mall's special theaters, it also has six regular two-tiered movie theaters similar to the ones found in almost every
SM Supermall.
The mall features the Philippines's first Olympic-sized ice skating rink. At 61 by
30 meters, the rink is described as the biggest of its kind in
Southeast Asia. It can accommodate both recreational and competitive figure skating, as well as ice hockey. Along with plain access and skate rentals, the rink's operators also offer training programs in both figure skating and ice hockey.
Several ice skating competitions have been held at the mall's ice skating rink, the most prestigious yet having been
Skate Asia 2007. It was also the first time that the Philippines had hosted any international ice skating event.
The mall's open-air music hall directly facing the sea has also held several events, contests and concerts.
