Isabela shoppers recently gave SM a warm welcome when it
opened SM City Cauayan, SM Prime’s 49th supermall and its first in
the vast Cagayan Valley Region.
Located
on a 41,000 square meter property along Maharlika Highway, the 66,300 square
meter mall will serve shoppers in bustling Isabela as well as nearby provinces
in the Cagayan Valley – Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino.
As the
second largest province in the Philippines, Isabela – which is home to Magat
Dam, a major source of power and water supply in Northern Luzon – is an ideal
point in building SM’s presence in the region.
Largely
agricultural, it is known as the hybrid corn and rice champion in the
Philippines, and home to the biggest corn processing facility in Southeast
Asia. Strategically located between the
Cagayan Economic Zone and Metro Manila, it also has a lot of potentials in
tourism.
Cauayan
City has been selected to host the proposed Isabela Special Economic Zone and
the Regional Agro-Industrial Growth Center.
It is home to numerous subdivisions, schools, and business centers –
banks, real estate businesses, and commercial establishments.
SM City
Cauayan will give residents of this bustling city an alfresco malling
experience similar to that in SM’s Premier Malls. The two- storey building featuring a roof
deck with a vibrant landscape.
More
than just being a center of shopping and fun, SM City Cauayan is also
environmentally friendly. Passive
cooling, which is a green and cost effective approach, was considered in the
overall design of the mall, walkways, and storefront hallways. Its exterior features are highlighted by
brightly colored louvers, which also act as sun shades.
The SM Store and SM Supermarket
lead the shopping excitement along with the SM Appliance Center, ACE Hardware,
and Watsons. Global fashion brands like
Giordano, Payless Shoesource, and Guess will have stores in the mall along with
homegrown favorites like Bench, Penshoppe, and Prima Donna.
Eating out at SM City Cauayan is a mix
of international food chains like McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts, and Mister Donuts,
as well as well-loved local players like Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Greenwich,
Chowking, Gerry’s Grill, Cindy’s, and Red Ribbon.
It will
also feature some of Isabela’s best food stops – Café Isabela, Chocolate
Coffeeline, Yah! Coffee, and Hiroshi Tokyo Style Takoyaki.
SM City
Cauayan also has a Cyberzone for techies, services for busy shoppers, and
wellness centers for pampering.
It’s
also a place for great entertainment – six state of the art cinemas, as well as
amusement areas like Quantum, I Play n Ride, Sportszone, QBox Station, and
Bingo Bonanza.
For
customer convenience, SM City Cauayan has 530 parking slots and 130 motorcycle
slots.
SM City
Cauayan’s design team includes DSGN, Design Architect; JRP Design, Inc.,
Architect of Record; Bo Steiber Lighting Design, Lighting Consultant; EA
Aurelio Landscape Architects, Landscape Design; and New Golden City Builders,
General Contractor.

effective approach.
