SM SEASIDE CITY CEBU LAUNCHES LANDMARK CENTERPIECE

SM Seaside City Cebu recently opened The Cube, the landmark centerpiece of the world- class mall, which set to open on October 2015 at the South Road Properties in Cebu City.

The Cube is the second landmark to open in the much-anticipated mall after the Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod, which was launched just in time for Thanksgiving Mass following the canonization of the Visayan saint. The first of its kind urban development at the SRP, SM Seaside City Cebu is envisioned to dramatically change the landscape of the city with its nautilus inspired design of expanding, concentric arcs from a central multi-purpose space.

Located on a 304,544 sq. m. site fronting the Cebu Channel, SM Seaside City Cebu is very much like the SM Mall of Asia, which has Manila Bay and its glorious sunset as a picturesque backdrop.  And The Cube is envisioned to be an iconic landmark to the mall in the same way the Globe has been to the SM Mall of Asia.

A steel 21 -meter by 21 meter sculptural piece, the Cube is a symbol of strength and stability. It is a tribute to the resilience of the Cebuanos in particular and the Filipino people in general.

Viewed from any angle and perspective, The Cube consistently appears the same. This consistency reflects the philosophy of the SM group to bring to its customers the same high level of quality service in all areas it operates. Interestingly, the letters of the word Cube when re-arranged, from the word Cebu.

Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama was the guest of honor during the landmark’s launch. SM Prime Holdings EVP and CFO Jeffrey Lim, SM Supermalls President Annie Garica and SM Prime Vice President Marissa Fernan joined him along with the mall’s future tenants. Msgr. Vicente Tupas, Jr., rector of the Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod, officiated the blessing of The Cube.

Mayor Michael Rama expressed his appreciation to SM for launching of Cebu City’s the newest landmark, which coincidentally coincided with his birthday.

SM Prime Holdings EVP and CFO Jeffrey Lim, meanwhile said that the SM Group remains confident in the potentials of Cebu City with its “dynamic population and flourishing business landscape”.

He added that, “The launching of The Cube is just the start of many exciting features coming to SM Seaside City Cebu. The public will now begin to experience the unfolding of a whole new Cebuano lifestyle that will transform the way people live, work and play in this community”,

SM Seaside City will be the third mall in the Queen City of the South after SM City Cebu in the North Reclamation Area and SM City Consolacion in northern Cebu. When open, the mall will have over 800 food and retail shops, including international brands.  It will also have furniture zone and a fashion boulevard to showcase the talent of Cebu’s many local designers.

The 460,791 square meter mall will have multiple anchors, including a two storey The SM Store and SM Hypermarket, a four-theater Cinema, 2 theater Director’s Club, Centerstage, a large format Cinema, and 16-lane SM Bowling and Amusement Center, a Food Court, an Ice Skating Rink, and a Roof Garden.

With SM Seaside City Cebu’s landmark centerpiece leading the way, visitors can now take photos with The Cube as perfect background for pictorials such as weddings, debuts, and photo shoots, among others.

The Cube is open daily. For mall developments, like SM Seaside City Cebu (Official) on Facebook.
