It is the currently largest mall in Central Luzon, followed by SM City Clark. When it opened in 2015, it was dubbed the largest mall in North Luzon outside of Metro Manila, until being recently dethroned due to the expansion of SM City Baguio.

Location

SM City Cabanatuan is located along Maharlika Highway (also known as Pan-Philippine Highway), Barangay Hermogenes Concepcion, Cabanatuan City. The mall is also adjacent to a portion of the 12.35-kilometer Emilio Vergara Highway.

Planning

After a 10 year negotiation in 2012, The SM Group is pushing the plan to build a mall in Cabanatuan City. The SM Group has been eyeing to set up SM City Cabanatuan since 2002, but the negotiations within the city government said it was reportedly due to stiff opposition from other local mall operators. SM Prime executive vice president Jeffrey Lim denied there was any opposition to the development in Cabanatuan. The SM Group transferred the mall site to a 8.5-hectare commercial site along the National Highway in Barangay Hermogenes Concepcion, which became available in 2009, according to the company executive.[2]

Features

The mall anchors The SM Store, SM Supermarket, Ace Hardware, SM Appliance Center, Watson's, The Body Shop, Uniqlo, and other major anchors. The mall features two Sky Gardens, the Garden Park and the Roof Park.[3] The mall features six state-of-the-art cinemas with a seating capacity of 1,807, including a large format theater (which is the Cinema 4) capable for 3D movies, and a stadium type seating similar to IMAX that houses up to 507 guests.[4] On 2017, the mall is expecting to install solar panels on rooftops similar to SM City North EDSA and SM Mall of Asia with a power of 8.9 megawatts (MW) total capacity along with SM City Cauayan and SM City Iloilo.[5]
