Nice shots!
Parang kinunan ang mga ito sa grand opening, ang daming tao eh, hehehe
Kukuha nga sana ako ng mga pics nung pumunta ako sa grand opening kaso: una hindi ko dala ang aking digi-cam pangalawa ang dami masyadong tao at baka madukutan/mawalan ako ng gamit, hehehe^_^

Ang cute naman ng sinehan sa SM City Marikina kahit maliit lang.
Makapanood nga ng sine diyan minsan, hehehe^_^

I am looking forward sa atin ma may magdesign ng mall na may mga hanging mid bridge in between hallways of every floors then say 6 storey with skylight curve roofing, tall palm trees at ground floor with landscaping and waterfalls in the middle of the lobby with oen restos and seating and alternate exposed lift car like tube type with glass panels, I think if this was done, this would be very grand something like here the "The Gardens" in Malaysia. But as far as I can see, we can create much better than it, hope I can proposed.....

Naku ang magma-masterplan pa naman daw ng SM City Sta. Ana ay yun din sa SM City Marikina, which is Arquitectonica... Sana nga hindi na ulit box-type yung kalalabasan ng SM City Sta. Ana para hindi nakakasawa...

The only thing I dont like with this design, as you can see, the architect did not anticipate the strip design of the wall in relation to the location of the advertisement board, when advertisement board was already in place, you can see, some of the horizontal red strip wall design was cover up already with this advertisement panels. You can compare those facades without the panels and after the panels was in place already, the facade becomes messy already.

Oh sa guitnangbayan ka pala, yung bayaw ko dun din sa parklane sila. Saan ka sa guitnangbayan, di kilala mo mga Manuel, original yan diyan bayaw ko sa pinsan, thanks..
Kilala mo sa ampid yung Santos Junkshop before ng tulay, halos lahat ng kamag-anak ko naandiyan.

OT: Ahhh, i see..., akala ko nga ako lang mag-isang taga-San Mateo dito sa SSC eh, hehehe^_^

May kaklase ako dati sa Nuestra nung high school ako si Melissa Manuel, taga-Ampid siya... May mga kaklase din akong Santos ang apelyido sa Nuestra nung elementary at high school din...
Hindi ko kilala yung mga nasa Santos Junkshop pero lagi ko yung nadadaanan papasok at pauwi.
Yup, marami rin talagang Santos sa atin, tulad ni AMO yung dati nating mayor, hehehe

Kilala ko si Amo pero nung time na si Natividad, malakas kami sa Munisipyo dahil yung manuel na bayaw ko ninong niya si mayor sa kasal, but napalitan na ngayon diba yung anak ni diaz ang mayor, Okey thanks for your reply bukas ule, send more post to ssc for further contributions.

Ah ok, sige-sige, salamat din!

Yup, binibida ko rin pala ang San Mateo especially sa Antipolo City and Rizal Province Thread ng SSC, bisita ka rin dun minsan, marami pa akong i-po-post dun na pics and updates about San Mateo^_^

sa sobrang dami na ng malls, at halos magkakalapit pa, may tendency na yung
population nalang ng mall yung magbabago, not necessarily yung profit, unless
kung super developing ang area... totoo kaya ito?

ganda ng SM Marikina, pero sa sinasabi nilang "the future shopping begins here", mukhang di papatalo ang sm north. hehe, maimagine ko lang ang sabi nilang may water falls daw simula sa pinakataas hanggang sa papunta sa baba.. ano kaya itsura nun?

^^ Only one post at a time please. I've already merged your posts. Don't clutter the thread with several posts right next to each other posted with only a few minutes of interval. Why not write down everything you wanted to say before hitting the post reply button? Or just edit your previous post?
That user might have thought that each topic deserves it's own post. Well, newbies are bound to commit violations, each and everytime, like me :lol:

Anyway, the footbridge is located before you make a right to West Ave. in EDSA Northbound connecting to The Garden. It is right next to the 15 year old stone foorbridge which makes this new one 100% redundant. :(

WE should expect it to be pink and blue. Pink because Bayani wants the city to bloom in "the pink of health" and blue symbolizing MMDA.

If the footbridge we're to be built by SM themselves, and it's also pink, then we now have the right to complain. :lol:

P.S. Do not repeat the same mistake again or you'll get "the whipping" :lol:

Ayan. Kakaupdate ko lang nung Wednesday. Kaya meron nanaman ako.

As of now, undergoing ang cladding installation sa ilang parts ng mall.

Hindi ko makuhanan yung back part kasi wala akong time. Nagmamadali sa school. Pero siguro ay maganda ang view sa back part kasi parang may garden. And I hope meron. Kasi if you will view at the back of SM Fairview, you will see Eastwood, Ortigas and Makati on a single panorama. Ang ganda! :banana::banana::banana:

ÜBER talaga yang tarpik na yan sa Lagro to SM Fairview. Kalbaryo ko na yan ngayon. Ang dating 30(kapag no traffic)-45 min(kapag moderate), ngayon 1hr 15mins or 30 mins, depends. :mad2:

Pero at least they are now investing on infrastructure. :applause:

Next days kasi baka hindi nanaman ako makapasok sa SSC kasi nga hindi ako makakonek ng maayos kaya sinasamantala ko na yung time para mag-post. Hindi ako adik. :lol: Disturbia na ako sa SM Fairview ko...... :jk:

^^ Yup. October.

The Mega-expansion is called "The Atrium".

Yup, ayon din sa Wikipedia (kahit hindi ganun ka-credible na source...), sa October ang launching ng expansion ng SM Megamall:

Expansion Plans

The 16,000 square meter addition to the existing Megamall is located over Dona Julia Vargas Avenue, and when completed will fully bridge the gap between Mega A and B. With Megamall being a linear development that spans more than half a kilometer, the Atrium is envisioned to be a center of respite and relaxation. Its strategic central location provides a convenient stop for mall visitors to relax and literally catch their breath while enjoying shopping at upmarket stores and dining at specialty restaurants. Upscale retail shops and restaurants are planned around a circular atrium with an area of 452 square meters. Access to the center is designed to offer an air of drama and surprise. Off the existing bridgeway, the visitor approaches the center through a low ceiling hallway that widens towards the cylindrical skylight. Dynamic non-concentric circles on the floor are achieved with the application of yellow tiles of carried hues. An equally dynamic skylight design matches the non-concentric circles in the floor. The curved patterns ripple out beyond the atrium area on both floors and ceilings to great consistency and harmony to the general look of the center. The deep end of fifth level of the SM Megamall Atrium will be the site of the 1, 585 square meter Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord. This grand chapel with a separate adoration chapel has a modern design with the Eucharistic as the focal point. This is highlighted in the neo-classical retablo or altar with the crucified Christ at the center, which is in sharp contrast to the modern theme of the rest of the chapel. The color scheme of the area is earth inspired with a neutral palette. Finishes are similar to stones used in the Roman times, which gives the chapel a structurally sound impression with a soft and warm approach. Wood in its natural oil finish is the most common material, which will be used in the chapel. With the addition of the Atrium, the rear building facade is treated to be harmonious with the recently complete exterior makeover in which an extra feature cube of perforated aluminum panels are added to replace the existing Megastrip sign boxes. The Atrium will be an exciting addition to the 330,000 square meter SM Megamall which is one of the world's largest malls. Megamall, which opened in 1991, is said to have spearheaded the mailing phenomenon in the Philippines with its size, world class designs and new concepts including an Ice Skating Rink, the Artwalk and Art Center, and the Megatrade Hall. The SM Megamall Atrium's design team includes Arquitectonica, Mall Designer, w.v. Coscolluela and Associates, Architects; Monolith Construction and Development Corporation, General Contractor; and DA Abcede and Associates, Project Manager. It is scheduled to open on October 2008.

^^TriNoma is really the new frontier for Ayala because of the blockbuster ticket sales & foot traffic. It is probably the most succesful Ayala already and its barely over 1 year in operation. I expect TriNoma to expand further & it will spearhead the QC Triangle Park. The response of SM is expansion of SM NoE making it even bigger in terms of GA than their flagship Mall of Asia. 2009 SM NoE will reclaim its title as largest phil. mall after it was dislodged by Mega back in 1991.

Too many ads plastered on the malls/buildings in the Philippines. I hope businesses/advertisers find other means of advertising, or at least decrease the number of ads they post on the building facade. You will hardly see the facade of a mall/boutique in Ginza marred a huge banner ad because the Japanese appreciate the architecture.

i hope SM won't put another sky garden in megamall, or any sm mall. mas maganda para unique ang sm north, and besides, sm megamall pa rin ang nakakaungos sa mandaluyong kahit kaharap ng rustans at shang at malapit sa rob-galleria. atsaka bakit ba over sa expansion and renovation ang sm sa mall of asia and sm cebu? eh wala naman silang kalaban, kahit na sabihing may ayala cebu eh sm cebu pa rin ang nangungunang mall sa cebu. sorry sa mga cebuano at mga taga pasay, pero sa tingin ko lang ay dapat talaga sm north ang pagtutuunan ng pansin ng SM lalo na at merong trinoma.

Agree... unique dapat ang SM NoE for being the very first SM Supermall in our country^_^
Yung sa SM Megamall, pwede silang maglagay dun sa ibabaw ng parking space sa harap, pero mas magandang hindi na lang "Garden"^_^

Excuse me. Hindi po bobo ang SM para mag-expand nang walang dahilan. They are 50 years in the business already! They know what they're doing. Dahil nag-expand sila dito sa Cebu, it just means na matindi ang kalaban and may demand talaga for expansion. Hello, parang TriNoma-SM North EDSA kaya ang labanan ng Ayala at SM dito sa Cebu. Parang mas malala pa nga. ;)

SM has the money, hindi nila kailangang pagtuunan ng pansin ang iisang mall lang dahil pwede naman nilang pagsabayin ang kanilang nais na mangyari. :yes:

^ Siguro TriNoma is better than all SM Malls :lol: Sobrang naapektuhan siguro ang mga Sy nang maungusan ng TriNoma ang best performing mall nila which is SM City North EDSA (in terms of what? Movie ticket sales lang? Pedestrian traffic?)

I find TriNoma beautiful pero the lighting doesn't complement with its brownish interiors. I believe na mas OK siya when compared to Glorietta because it is brown new. However, after a few visits, I've already been a bit "tired" of it...

I might find waiting for Abreeza... Just a year now...

Tama ka dyan. SM will only improve there mall as needed pero the degree of improvement will vary as necessary. I think SM spent the most for expansion of SM NoE (New 6 story Annex with SkyGarden, Cladding of the facade of all mall Buildings, New Garden Structure above front Parking, I-Max Theatre, probable interior modification of the main building). SM City Cebu will also extensive expansion (Northwing & I-Max theatre). SM Fairview (New Annex) & SM Mega (Atrium). SM does improve its malls but it depends on the ferocity of competition.

But based on observation, the competition of TriNoma vs. SM NoE is much fiercer than SM Cebu & Ayala mainly because their fighting over a bigger market there in QC (SM NoE is known to have the biggest foot traffic & ticket sales NATIONWIDE yet TriNoma is surging ahead recently) plus there malls are literally separated by only a few meters. Kung baga SM NoE vs. TriNoma is the national competition & SM Cebu vs. Ayala cebu is super-regional competition.

When it comes to Design, Maganda ang TriNoma Period! Wala nang kokontra pa epal lang eh :lol:

Almost every angle is picture perfect, the lines, the color schemes the shadows of their lighting gives that unique one of a kind look and feel found only in the Triangle North of Manila/Makati/Metro Manila :lol:. But it's not perfect, it also has it's flaws, like nakakahilo sa first visit, maze at masikip ang parking, medyo claustrophobic DAW ang higher levels, hindi malamig, may namatay, may defects blah blah..Matataranta bang mag expand ang SM North EDSA kung hindi sya humahakot (ng mga may perang panggastos na customer?)

Meron pa bang ibang mall (from other chains) na kamukha or mas maganda pa sa TriNoma dito sa Pilipins para magmukha syang pangit or nakakasawa? (no offense) Hello, eh wala pa nga sa kalingkingan nyan ang itsura ng mga bahay nyo noh :lol: :lol: SM nga may Mall Of Asia pero minsan lang sila mai-compare, because they have their own looks. So sa mga nagsasabing pangit ang TriNoma (no offense again) it's either malabo ang mata nyo or kau ang pangit! :lol:

P.S.

Some forumers should stop talking about malls if they don't know the topic to start :lol: like for example, SM North EDSA is NOT the Oldest Mall :)

ang plano pala ng sm, lalagyan lang nila ng mga tiles ang main mall para magmukhang bago, at first, I thought na idedemolish nila, Sabagay, maraming establishments sa loob.

Naisip mo noong baka i-demolish? Why? Didn't you think it was possible to give it a brand-new look "beyond recognition" without demolishing it? That's a big structure, housing the department store, supermarket, foodcourt, 8 cinemas, and a mall spread on a total of 4-levels. Demolishing it and building a new one would take time, money, and not to mention the disruption of mall operations and a drastic drop in their leasable area which would equate to lost rental opportunities for them. Considering that they still have vacant lots within the complex, that's not really a sound business idea because they can just build additional buildings on their vacant lots.

These were also the tiles used to coat out the exterior of SM Fairview A2.

Oo nga pala. Wala akong updated na pics.

Pero ito ang gradual changes.

There is now a roof that connects A1 to A2.
The caldding installation are still on-going.
Back part of the mall has many activities going on.
Mukhang magiging malaki ito for sure. Kasi may BPO na sila sa loob.
And they should compliment the back of the mall with a Trinoma-like garden, then al-fresco dining at night.

That would really make it a destination.

Anyway, based on my insider from SM Cebu, ang average daily traffic ng SM Cebu ay nasa 300,000 na so it may be second or third to SM North in terms of pedestrian traffic already. ;)

Where did you get your figures? SM MoA gets 300,000 pedestrians on weekdays and it can get to as high as 500,000-1,000,000 on weekends/holidays. ;)

Yang dome ng SM NoE rumored na tatakpan pa ng Glass. Tapos sa loob may garden at water features pa. SM NoE will really look like a single mall for the first time (at least sa exterior appearance) kasi magkakakulay na at pareho design concept ng lahat ng buildings. I passed by SM NoE awhile ago & it really looks much larger now that they harmonized the design.

May updated rendering sa website ng arquitectonica. Nandun na yung dome na previously not in the rendering.

Mas maganda kung wala sanang flash kasi nasisira yung intended na atmosphere nung design, and the flash totally clashes with the warm lighting of the place. Kung naka automatic yung cam mo, mas maliwanag sana yung pics mo kung naka set sa off yung flash because the camera will automatically compensate for the lack of flash by using a longer exposure for the shot.

I tried fixing one of your pics...

SM Sta. Mesa

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3138/2891427063_1bcc1791fc_b.jpg

They're now constructing ACE Hardware and Office Warehouse stores at the foodcourt. ACE would be occupying the west end of the foodcourt area while Office Warehouse would be on the north corner.

What remains of the foodcourt is like about half to a third of the original tenants. But at least the area had a facelift reminiscent of the updated look of the Megamall Foodcourt.

It's about time they add Ace Hardware to SM Sta Mesa as it's now the only SM mall without it. Even smaller Supercenters and stand-alone department stores now have an ACE.

Tama, the Garden feature of SM NoE will extend almost the whole mall length. Based sa website yung the Garden ay 400 meters long tapos ang estimate ko sa the new Annex building mga 150 meters. So total length ng garden feature mga 550+ meters. Hopefully matapos na ang "the Garden" ng 1st quarter of 2009 kasi full time na ang work nila dito. Yung New Annex naman baka 2nd-3rd quarter tapos I-max ang pinaka-huli (4th quarter).

Tinotohanan nga ng SM ang pag-iba ng trends of its 3 flagship malls. SM MoA - tidal wave ung overall form ng mall. SM NoE - block yung bldgs. pero rippling waves lang tapos may wavey hanging gardens pa accross the entire mall. Mega naman least yung influence kasi roofing lang sa main entries. SM Southmall nalang ang nahuhuli kasi wala pang changes. May plano na nga ang SM na lagyan ng hotel at annex ito based sa portfolio ng Palafox pero di ko alam kung bakit di nag-push through.

The Southmall is surrounded by residential areas and it isn't a touristy area. The traffic jams associated with Zapote Road and the distance from main business district could have been some of the deterrence. Maybe later when things improve. :)

I feel that SM Megamall should have a hotel though. And the integration of a hotel in the structure ought to further break the monotony of the horizontal design.

TriNoma can still compete kasi hecta-hectaryang lupa ang pwede nilang bilhin sa QC Triangle Park. At pwede nilang tapatan ang park ng SM by utilizing the open parking adjacent SM NoE. Kung baga this is just the beginning...

stanleymalls

October 1st, 2008, 10:49 AM

^^ But I think the adjacent lot to Trinoma will be one of the lands used to construct the QC-CBD. I read in a news article that SM already bought the available lands behind them, like the Golden Acres, QC-SHS, and other structures na nasa likod ng mall. Yung sa Golden Acres, SM na bahala mag-transfer kung saan mas maganda ang facilities at ang location.

Kakaiba kasi ang tactic ng Trinoma. Para magmukhang malaki ito, ginamit nila yung mga parking buildings to stretch until dun sa end ng triangle, making it look long and big. Height was also one. Pero napakalaki talaga ng Trinoma.
Does anybody know kung ilan ang GLA at GFA ng Trinoma?

SM Fairview Annex 2 Updates!

Ayun. Ang cladding sa may West entrance nito facing Bayan-Novaliches ay kulay blue, parang sa The Block.

They have put up the roof at iniinstall na rin ang A/C system sa buong mall.

At dahil walang pasok ngayon, wala ring pics! Hindi ko kasi nadala ang phone ko kahapon.

Nakita ko na rin yung updated na SM-NoE Redevelopment Plan sa Arquitectonica.

I hope by Saturday e hindi lang basta Fairview ang meron, pati North EDSA!

Pero if you will walk in Trinoma, parang its so huge.

Siguro dahil na rin sa mejo mataas na floor-to-ceiling ratio.

Ewan. Tsaka mejo airy ang feeling sa loob.

Basta ako, I will starve myself sa NoE para the next time na pupunta ako, e talagang mapapanganga! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yup, nagmumukha talagang malaki ang TriNoma dahil sa kanilang parking spaces...
Ngunit ayon sa Wiki, ang TriNoma daw ay meron lamang Gross Leasable Area na 195,000 square meters, compared to the current 331,861 square meters and approximately magiging 460,000 square meters sa re-launch ng SM NoE^_^

yung 460,000 sq. mts. ay gross FLOOR area, meaning kasama lahat ng corridors, parking space, atrium etc. Yung 195,000 sq. mts. ng TriNoma gross leasable area meaning STORE SPACE lang.

Official figures as of 2008 from SM & Ayala land:

KUNG GROSS LEASABLE AREA ang basis these are the largest malls:

1. Glorietta - 250,000 sq.mts
2. TriNoma - 195,000 sq. meters + (19,000 sq. mts. for additional hypermart in 2009)
3. SM North Edsa - 195,000 sq.m
4. SM Megamall - 185,000 sq.m.
5. SM Mall of Asia - originally 150,000 + 15,000 = around 165,000 sq.m.

*SAYANG at walang figures ang Ayala para sa mga malls nila. So di talaga malayo ang laki ng SM NoE at Megamall sa TriNoma at Glorietta.

We cannot exactly say that Glorietta is a single mall because of the divisions made -- Glorietta 1, 2, 3 and 4 -- though, by just looking at it, it looks like a single mall.

Pansin ko naman SM is after the publicity of being the largest Malls kaya GFA ginagamit nila.

Kahit saang angulo mo tignan single-structure lang ang Glorietta...hiniwalay lang kasi masyadong malaki. Mas hiwa-hiwalay nga ibang SM kasi may annex. If that's the case should we consider SM megamall or North Edsa as different malls kasi hiwa-hiwalay bldgs. at connected lang ng bridgeway. Glorietta's 1-4 aren't connected by bridgeways so 1 mall lang talaga ito.

^^nakita mo na ba yung roofing ng New Annex? Kasi based sa previous press statements ng SM hiwalay ang "The Garden" sa "SkyGarden". Sabi pa nga nila may waterfalls na manggagaling sa "Skygarden" papunta sa "The Garden" which is actually a response to TriNoma's reversed water fountain feature. Let's just wait & see if they pursue the SkyGarden on top of the annex when they relaunch next year.

Massive: The SM Mall of Asia, in Manila's Pasay City, is said to be almost as large as Vatican City

If you've run out of overseas shopping destinations, it's time to consider the Philippines.

It's just a 3-hour flight away and has enough mega malls that offer everything from designer brands to gorgeous handicrafts.

Malls are very popular with the Filipinos who spend most of their weekends 'malling'.

The mega mall culture doesn't necessarily mean you have to buy anything. 'Malling' refers to the act of window shopping or whiling away the hours inside a mall.

Colossal scale

According to a Reuters report, two of the world's largest shopping centres are based in the Philippines' capital, Manila.

A Nielsen Media Research report found that around 80 per cent of the Philippines' population go to shopping centres.

Around 36 million people visit shopping plazas once or twice a month. This despite over 40 per cent of the country's 90 million people living on US () or less per day, according to Reuters.

According to Mr Chris Balberona, a driver for a bank: 'People just come to the mall to stay cool. Life is hard right now so we don't really come here to shop.'

The air-conditioned malls are a boon in this steamy tropical nation. Catholic masses are even held in the corridors of some malls.

At the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City - a whopping 2 million sq ft property - you can find just about anything to suit your shopping, dining and entertainment desires.

Said to be the size of Vatican City, this mall is made up of four buildings linked by walkways. The entertainment centre offers a panoramic view of world famous Manila Bay.

The centre also houses 10 theatres including the country's first IMAX theatre, and the country's first Olympic-sized skating rink.

Then, there's Makati, the country's glitzy business and financial hub. Makati's Ayala Centre consists of popular, upmarket department stores such as Glorietta, Quad and Landmark.

For a varied shopping experience, there's market shopping. In Bonifacaio Global City, also in metro Manila, you'll find fresh fruit, flowers, vegetables and seafood at the market.

And like the snazzier malls, this area also offers a one-stop shop concept, with bazaars selling fashion, home and technology items. A hawker's area allows visitors to pause from the shopping frenzy and sample the best food and other specialties of the Philippines.

GETTING THERE: There are several daily flights to Manila from Singapore, and it takes about a 3- hour flight. Besides major carriers, budget airlines like Jetstar and Tiger Airways also fly to Manila.

Is this separate "The Garden" and "Sky Garden" thingie for real? Because I'm still not buying it. Sino nga ba unang nagsabi nun? I still believe that there's only the Sky Garden, the 400-meter long one infront of the Main Mall and The Block.

And as far as I know, only about a third, or less than a third of The Annex will be having a roofdeck that can support such garden, the roofdeck of the parking building, the rest are plain roofs supported on metal girders so nothing can be built on top of it.

Ang alam ko rin tungkol dito ay hiwalay ang "Sky Garden" sa bagong Annex at "The Garden" stretching in front of the main mall and The Block. Pero talaga nga namang nakakapagtaka kung paano nila ilalagay ang "Sky Garden" sa rooftop ng Annex at kung ano ang magiging itsura nito...:nuts:

^^That's the big secret of the SM NoE Annex. Personally I much prefer kung sa rooftop nalang ng main mall yung "skygarden" kasi malawak sya at central location pa. Maganda rin kung yung bagong name ng SM NoE ay SM North Gardens Mall.

Hmmm, kung sa rooftop ng main mall yung "Sky Garden", kailangang patibayin ang pundasyon nito dahil madadagdagan ang bigat na dinadala ng main mall, in effect, magkakaroon ng major renovation ang buong main mall ng SM NoE, which is not ideal...
About the new name, cool naman kaso hindi pa rin ako mapalagay sa pagpapalit ng pangalan dito kasi ito ang very first SM Supermall sa Pilipinas^_^

There's a big space at the top of Annex, at the far corner, yes the area is small but the volume is big, i'm not sure if it's open-air. That's the only place where this "Sky Garden" will be placed on. However, comparing the "Sky Garden" features, and the new renders, they seem to fit the elements on the "The Garden" infront of the mall. let's just wait and see.

SM City Annex set to open in November
By
Source: Phil Star

SM City North-EDSA's new Annex Building, which is scheduled to open in November, was recently presented to tenants giving them a first look at the exciting redevelopment and expansion of SM's first supermall.

When SM City North-EDSA opened in November 1985, the country was in the middle of a major political and economic crisis, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today, as SM celebrates its 50th anniversary with 31 supermalls all over the Philippines, it returns to its roots with the redevelopment of the mall that started it all. The new Annex highlights the initial phase of the mall's redevelopment, which began with the opening of The Block in 2006.

The new 92,830-square-meter, six-level Annex, which will rise on the site of the old Annex building, was designed to create an enjoyable and festive shopping experience, and to provide an entertainment environment. It is also an iconic symbol in Metro Manila's rapidly changing and growing cityscape and community.

The exterior of the new Annex is a simple block clad in undulating perforated aluminum panels. In the context of the total redevelopment, the façade treatment is carried over to the Main Mall and The Block. The façade is interspersed by either glass or metal-clad cubes. The undulations of the cladding panels make for every dynamic composition.

The eastern end of the Annex overlooking the park will consist of a monumental glass wall, which will stretch to the whole height of this end wall. This creates a grand shop front from which the atrium, its scenic lifts, as well as various retail outlets and restaurants can be seen from the park. The design merges the indoor and the outdoor.

The choice of aqua suggests an affinity other SM malls, Megamall and Mall of Asia. In all, a dynamic composition is created aimed to give the mall a distinct architectural identity with a balance of dynamism and elegance.

Inside tenants are arranged along the ribbon-like atrium with vertical circulation provided by escalators and lifts at opposite ends.

Interiors are clean and modem, and centered around a curvilinear atrium, which stretches its length. Daylight is provided through a series of circular glass cones set into the ceiling, giving the interior a light, airy feeling.

The new Annex's tenant mix will include high-end retail, various dining establishments, a Cyberzone, a games arcade, and a bowling center, creating a cutting-edge mix of shopping and entertainment.

Its lower ground floor will include leisure shops while its upper ground floor will consist of general services. Nourishment and indulgence shops will be on the second floor, while specialty shops and fashion finds complete the third floor. The biggest Cyberzone is the attraction of the fourth and fifth floors, while an upcoming call center will be on the sixth floor.

One of the new Annex' major attractions is the Cyberzone, and its fourth and fifth floors are dedicated entirely to the virtual world. The Cyberzone at SM City North-EDSA will be the largest tech center in all SM malls, and a one-stop haven for the tech-savvy shoppers. With over a hundred shops and tech service centers, it will include tenants offering hardware and software solutions, mobile communications, Internet and gaming services. The Cyberzone is envisioned to be the center of the technology lifestyle: more tech, more brands, and more shops.

Plans for the new Annex as well as the rest of SM City North-EDSA were revealed during the Tenants Preview. One of the highlights of the program was a presentation of the SM City North-EDSA Experience as narrated by the mall's pioneer tenants.

The event was attended by the Annex's prospective tenants, who were welcomed by SM officials led by SM prime Holdings president Hans T. Sy, SCMC president Annie Garcia, VP for Leasing Daisy Chua, and A VP for operations Bien Mateo.

With the new Annex opening in November, as well as the upgrading of its popular main mall, SM City North-EDSA is all set to establish new benchmarks in the shopping world. Given the comprehensive and exciting retail mix, its modem interiors, and eye-catching iconic facades, the mall becomes an exciting and modern destination for mall visitors in the metropolis and nearby provinces.

Mega Atrium opens this month
By
Source: Manila Standard Today

MEGA'S growing much more with the addition of the SM Megamall Atrium, which is scheduled to open this October. A first look at this exciting new lifestyle area was recently previewed at the site in Ortigas Center.

The 16,000 sqm addition to the existing Megamall is located over Doña Julia Vargas Avenue, and when completed with fully bridge the gap between Mega A and B. With Megamall being a linear development that spans more than half a kilometer, the Atrium is envisioned to be a center of respite and relaxation.

Upscale retail shops and restaurants are planned around a circular atrium with an area of 452 sqm. Access to the center is designed to offer an air of drama and surprise. Off the existing bridgeway, the visitor approaches the center through a low ceiling hallway that widens toward the cylindrical skylight.

Dynamic non-concentric circles on the floor are achieved with the application of yellow tiles of varied hues. An equally dynamic skylight design matches the non-concentric circles in the floor. The curved patterns ripple out beyond the atrium area on both floors and ceilings to great consistency and harmony to the general look of the center.

The deep end of fifth level of the SM Megamall Atrium will be the site of the 1,585 sqm Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord. This grand chapel with a separate adoration chapel has a modern design with the Eucharist as the focal point. This is highlighted in the neo-classical retablo or altar with the crucified Christ at the center, which is in sharp contrast to the modern theme of the rest of the chapel.

The color scheme of the area is earth inspired with a neutral palette. Finishes are similar to stones used in the Roman times, which gives the chapel a structurally sound impression with a soft and warm approach. Wood in its natural oil finish is the most common material, which will be used in chapel.
