SM Prime Holdings Inc. continues to expand in Southern Luzon with the opening of its newest mall in Batangas, SM Center Lemery.

This mall adds 25,000 square meters to SM Prime’s total gross floor area (GFA) in the Philippine­s of eight million square meters.

SM Prime president Jeffrey Lim said Lemery has been a gateway to different attraction­s in Batangas.

“With this, it’s been continuall­y developing to meet the needs and standards of its residents and visitors. SM Center Lemery takes part in meeting these needs. The exciting mix of offerings in the mall is sure to delight every Batangueño­s, as we have also done in SM City Batangas and SM City Lipa,” Lim said.

He said 90 percent of space has already been lease-awarded.

The newest mall will have three floors of mixed retail and food tenants topped with preferred household brands such as SM Hypermarke­t, BDO, Ace Hardware, Miniso, SM Appliance Center, Watson’s, Simply Shoes and Surplus.

Staying true to its commitment to deliver utmost malling experience, SM Center Lemery will have a wellness zone and cyberzone that will cater to the distinct and discrimina­ting taste and style of Batangueno­s.

SM Prime has so far launched five new malls this year namely SM Center Pulilan in Bulacan, SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown in Cagayan, SM City Puerto Princesa in Palawan, SM Cherry Antipolo in Rizal, S Maison at Conrad Manila in Pasay City and SM CDO Downtown Premier in Cagayan de Oro.
