SM Southmall takes on a new direction
CHRISTMAS CAME early to SM Southmall with its re-launching as a new premier mall, and the unveiling of its Christmas centerpiece.
SM Prime Holdings, Inc. president Hans T. Sy led the ceremonial toast that marked SM Southmall’s transformation into an impressive premier mall in Manila’s South.
With its new direction comes a new look, a new set of upscale tenants and exciting new concepts.
Contemporary architectural elements have been incorporated to provide a strong, unique identity for the SM Southmall building. The corners of the façade have been wrapped with circular panels creating a distinct look and making it a landmark in the area.
The mall’s interiors reveal a bright, fresh retail space inspired by natural aspects. A continuous ribbon, in champagne metallic finish, wraps and weaves around every shop front creating a continuous design element that not only integrates the mall but also provides a portal to identify each store façade.
The mall retail anchors are the SM Department Store and SM Supermarket. Upscale contemporary shops from global brands like Nine West, Cache Cache, Terranova, Aldo, Charles & Keith, La Senza, 158 Designer’s Boulevard, and The Face Shop complete the shopping experience.
The Food Street, a 250-meter row of al fresco restaurants, is identified by white sail canopies extending over the dining area, allowing diners to enjoy this bright, naturally illuminated space while protecting them from the elements.
The Food Street brings many exciting dining concepts to the south metro area with restaurants like Sambokojin, Sumosam, Maharaja, Marciano’s, Mesa Filipino Moderne, Blackbeard’s Seafood Island, Tokyo Café, Giligan’s Island, Hainanese Delights, Burgoo, Agave, Rack’s and Almon Marina.
It is also a place for coffee and dessert lovers with outlets like Holly’s Coffee, Black Canyon Coffee, Starbucks, Café Mary Grace and Tous Les Jours.
SM Southmall also brings premiere entertainment to the south metro with a 440-seat Imax Theater, eight state-ofthe-art cinemas and an Ice Skating Rink.
