Top 10 Largest Malls In The Philippines
01 | SM Mall of Asia
SM Mall of Asia (SM MOA) was the largest shopping mall in the Philippines when it opened in 2006 but was surpassed by SM City North EDSA after its renovation in 2008. In 2021, Ikea Philippines opened in SM MOA and reclaimed the spot as the largest mall in the country.
What makes this mall unique is its two-story entertainment complex, most of which is open-air facing Manila Bay. It also houses the first-ever IMAX Theater in the country, the San Miguel Coca-Cola IMAX Theater which happens to be one of the world’s biggest IMAX screens.
02 | SM City North EDSA, Quezon City
SM City North EDSA opened in 1985, months before the EDSA Revolution which is a challenging period in the political history of the Philippines. It was once the largest shopping mall in the country until the expansion of SM Mall of Asia to accommodate Ikea. Presently, SM City North EDSA is the second largest mall in the Philippines and one of the top 15 in the world.
Originally has a floor area of 120,000 square meters, the country’s first SM Supermall went through several expansions and renovations to add more parking space, retail space, office & services space, restaurants, and entertainment venues such as movie houses, bowling alley, and game arcade. Aside from the City Center which is the main building, the mall complex consists of buildings and towers namely Interior Zone, The Annex, The Block, The Sky Garden, The Northlink, and The North Towers – all are interconnected by footbridges.
03 | SM Megamall, Mandaluyong
For 17 years, SM Megamall held the title as the largest mall in the country until it was surpassed by SM City North EDSA. The mall has two main buildings and three additional buildings namely Mega Atrium, Building C, and Mega Fashion Hall. In 1992, the mall opened the country’s first-ever skating rink but was removed in 2009 only to be rebuilt in 2014 into an Olympic-sized ice skating rink.
The mall houses a passport office of the Department of Foreign Affairs, an IMAX Digital theater, and several global brands. It has a capacity of four million people and 4,200 vehicles.
04 | SM Seaside City Cebu
SM Seaside City Cebu is the fourth largest shopping mall in the Philippines and fourteenth in the world. It is a circular-shaped structure overlooking the sea.
