Pioneers share life with SM (http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Business%20As%20Usual&p=49&type=2&sec=39)

Monday, October 13, 2008

SM City North-Edsa was the mall that started it all and changed Filipino lifestyles forever. For many of us to whom malling has become a way of life, it’s hard to imagine the circumstances how SM founder and chairman Henry Sy Sr.’s decision to open the mall was a big risk during that time.

In 1985, the country was in the midst of a major political and economic crisis brought about by the assassination of Senator Ninoy Aquino. Inflation was soaring at double-digit level, a huge capital flight and a lot of uncertainty. The fact that the mall seemed to be in the middle of nowhere fueled doomsday predictions.

But Sy saw it differently. Instead of a road to nowhere, he saw a crossroads linking the metro and provincial areas. Instead of a crisis, he saw an opportunity to serve more customers. During his buying trips to the US during the 1950s and 60s, Sy had seen how the suburbs had grown from the East to West coast, each with a shopping mall as its center, and from that time knew that this would be possible in the Philippines. The rest, as they say, is history.

As SM City North-Edsa today prepares for yet another transformation beginning with the opening of the new Annex later this year, some of the mall’s pioneer tenants share with us the reasons why they took the risk that time with Sy. They also share with us how they have grown with SM, and why they will continue to be part of the mall as it renovates.

MANELS
Opened November 12, 1985

Why they chose to open at North-EDSA: “Tessie Sy-Coson invited me and some other colleagues in the retail industry to have a tour of the mall as it was being built and gave me prime space,” recalls Manels chairman Manuel Siggaoat. “While I was apprehensive because of the crisis during that time, this was overcome by my experience working with SM — its track record in Makati, and the all out support of the mall’s management.”

How they have grown with SM? “Sales were good from the time we opened, and I remember that the mall even had to extend its closing hours to 9:00 and 10:00 PM to accommodate the many customers. We now have 42 stores all over the Philippines, 18 of which are at SM.”

Why they will continue to be part of the North-EDSA transformation: “We have a dynamic relationship, and I want to be part of the new mall, just as I was part of North-EDSA the first time it opened.

JOLLIBEE
Opened 1986
Why they chose to open at North-EDSA: We’ve had a long, solid relationship with SM for so many years,” says Jollibee president William Tan. “I remember the time I was scheduled to meet Henry Sy Sr. about opening a branch at SM City North-EDSA. I was surprised that they had scheduled the meeting at SM Echague at 12 midnight. We went as were asked to and were shocked to see Sy still in the office with his staff at that time.

I was also impressed and touched when Tessie-Sy Coson who was heavy with her first child at the time took time to tour me around the construction site and show me the space SM was providing. We were amazed at the SM management’s dedication to work and thought that despite the odds, the mall would be a success.”

How they have grown with SM: “We have more than 30 Jollibee outlets in its malls and supercenters. We have a mutually beneficial relationship with SM.”

Why they will continue to be part of the SM City North-EDSA transformation: “We will always remain committed to support SM in its malls in the Philippines and overseas.”

RICKY REYES
Opened November 12, 1985

Why he chose to open at North-EDSA: “I’m a very adventurous businessman,” says Ricky Reyes, who founded his popular chain of hair and beauty salons. “Besides, I could see the trend leading to shopping malls.”

How he has grown with SM: “I was a pioneer tenant at SM City North-EDSA opening the same time as the Department Store and Supermarket, and have grown as SM has grown. Today, I have salons in almost SM Malls — except those in Sucat, Batangas, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro.”

Why he will continue to be part of the SM City North-EDSA transformation: “It’s because of my loyalty to Henry Sy Sr. whom I fondly call Tatang. I remember when SM City North-EDSA first opened, he would be in the mall every other day. He would often visit my salon and our interactions became learning sessions for me. For me, Mr. Sy is not only a business icon, but someone who has become very much like a father to me.”

NATIONAL BOOKSTORE
Opened April 11, 1986

Why they chose to open at North-EDSA: “My mother in law, National Bookstore founder Socorro Ramos and Mr. Henry Sy, Sr. had known each other for sometime as they both had stores downtown,” says National Bookstore president Precy Ramos. “He invited us to be part of the mall, and we agreed.”

How they have grown with SM: “ We have been able to grow together and today 30 of our 100 branches are at SM.”

Why they will continue to be part of the SM City North-EDSA transformation: “We are happy to be part of the new SM City North-EDSA the way we were the first time it opened.”

FRENCH BAKER
Opened September 1989

Why they chose to open at North-EDSA: “Before I thought of investing in French Baker, our family was already supplying bread to the SM Supermarket,” says French Baker president Johnlu Koa. “Deciding to join SM was not difficult as I’ve known the Sy brothers, especially Herbert, very well. I knew it would work because I’ve done my homework and studied market opportunities.”

How they grew with SM: “I was one of the first tenants at the old SM City Annex. During that time, the crises were different - brownouts and coup attempts, but I was given much support and encouragement by the SM management. I hope that I will have 40 stores by the end of the year, and am happy that 90 percent of these are at SM.”

Why they will continue to be part of SM City North-EDSA’s transformation: “Putting up a store at SM makes it very accessible and convenient for customers. Having worked with SM for 20 years has made us aware of the vision of SM Founder Henry Sy, Sr. to always be innovative and up to date. We are happy to be part and share this vision.”

SPORTSHOUSE
Opened December 1985

Why they chose to open at North-EDSA: “We believed in the mall concept,” says Sportshouse president Mars Chua. “ I vividly remember our opening day at SM City North-Edsa, which was graced by celebrities, PBA players, sporstscasters and sports enthusiasts. We dressed our mannequins in sports attire and were surprised that shoppers were having their picture taken with those mannequins.”

How they grew with SM: “We have around 32 stores nationwide, 22 of which are at SM.”

Why they will continue to be part of SM City North-EDSA’s transformation: : I am very grateful to SM especially to Mr. Sy for all the support and encouragement through the years. Wherever SM goes, we are looking forward to be part of the group.”

Some of SM City North-EDSA’s other pioneer tenants include McDonald’s, Max’s, Goldilocks, Dimensione, Magic, Ideal Vision, Fabric Warehouse, and Multi Time, each one with their own SM story, each looking forward to open new stores as SM City North-EDSA undergoes its transformation.

So the new wing of Greenbelt 5 is finally open. It's quite posh, really. So far only a few stores have opened, with the first floor being devoted to mainly European luxury brands. I saw a Jaeger LeCoultre, Panerai, Rolex, Fred Perry, and Breitling, among others. Only Madison Grill is open of the restaurants in the new wing so far, but I've read somewhere that there's gonna be a Le Souffle there, too. And of course, that Hermes boutique everyone is talking about.

Philippines mall mogul rakes it in as crisis hits rich: Forbes

AFP - Thursday, October 16

MANILA (AFP) - - A shopping mall mogul has become the Philippines richest man after amassing 1.4 billion dollars in past year, while his peers were hit by the global financial crisis, it was announced Thursday.

The fortune that Henry Sy made was the "biggest gain in absolute terms" of the country's wealthiest 40 families, who saw their collective wealth plunge 18 percent amid the world credit turmoil, Forbes magazine said in a statement.

In its annual list of the Philippines' richest people, Forbes said the country's stock exchange had dived 35 percent in the past year, making 25 out of 40 tycoons -- including those in banking and real estate -- were poorer.

Forbes said the Sy family was now worth 3.1 billion dollars, vaulting from second place to first.

The low-profile 83-year-old and his family control SM Investments, which owns stakes in a dozen companies including the nation's second largest bank.

Sy started off selling shoes to American GIs in the Philippines in 1958. From one store known as Shoemart, he built a multi-billion dollar empire.

Today he is Asia's biggest shopping mall operator with 30 mega malls throughout the Philippines.

Jaime Zobel de Ayala and family slipped from first to third as their wealth suffered a massive drop of 800 million dollars, to 1.2 billion dollars, Forbes said.

The stock of their conglomerate Ayala Corp. is down 46 percent since last year in part because of the economic slowdown and declining profits in banking and electronics manufacturing units, it said.

Moving up to second position is Lucio Tan and family, with a net worth of 1.5 billion dollars, although this is still down by 100 million dollars from last year.

Tan controls Philippine airlines as well as the country's largest cigarette firm, one of its largest brewers, mining operations and Hong Kong property.

Also hit hard is property tycoon Andrew Gotianun of Filinvest Land, who fell 10 places to 17th after losing 625 million dollars to give him a net worth of 235 million dollars.

Senate President Manuel Villar, the largest shareholder in high-end homebuilder Vista Land, also saw his wealth tumble 55 percent to 425 million dollars to put him in 11th, down from fifth last year.

Another property kingpin, Andrew Tan, saw his net worth plunge 400 million dollars to 700 million dollars.

The 57-year old made much of his wealth as an office developer for the outsourcing industry and is now betting on gaming and tourism.

Of the 40 richest Filipinos this year, 11 tycoons eked out gains but almost all of those increases were because of reporting on new assets or shareholdings or the combination of relatives' stakes, including Sy.

The Philippines had three billionaires this year compared with four last year as Andrew Tan lost this elite status.

Lourdes Montinola seemed to buck the trend as shares of her Far Eastern University increased 38 million dollars to vault her to number 31 with a net worth of 68 million dollars.

There was only one newcomer, Alfredo Ramos of Atlas Consolidated Mining, who debuted at number 23 with a net worth 126 million dollars.

A net worth of 30 million dollars is required to make the Philippines rich list, unchanged from last year. Fourteen tycoons had net worth of less than 100 million dollars and four of last year's members failed to make the cut.

Nice one for AliMall!

Siguro part ito ng renovation sa buong Araneta Center.

Tamang-tama lang ang renovation since mayron ngang kakulangan sa purchasing power ang mga Pinoys. So kapag lumakas ulit ang piso at bumaba ang presyo ng crude oil, malamang shopping extravaganza nanaman ang mga Pinoy!

By Elizabeth Sanchez-Lacson
Philippine Daily Inquirer
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20081017-167043/Glorietta-redevelopment-under-way

MANILA, Philippines—The Glorietta in Makati today is a picture of buzzing activity, a welcome change from the grief that haunted its stalls a year ago.

Ayala Land Inc., one of the country’s largest real estate developers and the owner-operator of Glorietta said it has made inroads in overcoming the stigma of the October 19 blast that killed 11 people injured hundreds last year.

In fact, the redevelopment of the whole Glorietta complex is underway and it includes a makeover of the old Glorietta mall.

ALI president Jaime Ayala, in a emailed response to Philippine Daily Inquirer, said part of the process is to demolish the old Glorietta 1 and 2 sections of the mall complex as well as “Goldcrest”, the flea market area, to make way for “a brand new, mixed-use development that will consist of fresh flagship stores and updated concepts from the mall's existing Glorietta 1 and 2 merchants.”

“If you remember Glorietta before, it was several different buildings and we put one roof over it. That's why Glorietta 4 has four floors and Glorietta 1 has one floor. It didn't really connect. So the main thrust of the redevelopment is to integrate everything into one mall so it will feel just like one mall,” Ayala said in an earlier interview.

Ayala also said the new Glorietta mall will include cutting-edge office spaces and a new businessman's hotel. The retail area in the middle will also link up with Glorietta 3 and 4, creating a new activity center, a ground level interior boulevard and a spacious activity-filled roof deck.

Today there is only one hotel.

“Once completed, Glorietta will reinforce its position as the premier shopping destination in the country,” Ayala said.

As part of the redevelopment, ALI is constructing the fifth Glorietta building or Glorietta 5, an eight-level structure at the old parking lot occupying the space in front of Hotel Intercontinental Manila and beside Rustan’s mall. Glorietta 5 is slated to open in time for the Christmas season this year.

Three floors of Glorietta 5 will have retail spaces spanning around 9,500 square meters, and the other five floors will have office spaces that may cater to business process outsourcing (BPO) firms.

Some of the tenants displaced by the closure of the damaged Glorietta 2 are given the option to transfer to other Ayala mall sites, including Glorietta 5, officials earlier said.

“We have already moved most of the Glorietta 1 tenants to Glorietta 5 which is under construction. Once we move them (all) over there, we can already start with G1 and G2,” Ayala said.

To further enhance the makeover of the Glorietta Center, ALI has teamed up with Dubai-based Kingdom Hotel Investments, a Saudi-owned hotel and resort management company, to develop a 7,377-square-meter lot at the corner of Makati Avenue and Arnaiz Avenue into a luxury hotel complex.

The development, which will cost roughly $153 million, will comprise a 300-room Fairmont Hotel, a 30-suite Raffles Hotel, and 189 Raffles-branded private residences.

Naks, nag-re-renovate din pala ang Shopwise, talaga ngang under big redevelopment ang Araneta Center, Cubao.
Dati mukhang delikado yung mga rides, pwede naman siguro nilang gawing world-class ang Fiesta Carnival kung sakali mang magreredevelop din sila o kung babalik man sa Shopwise area, hehehe^_^
Yup, yun nga lang, hindi ganun ka-sayang pumunta kapag puro tambay lang ang nandun...:ohno:

SM opens modern chapel in Megamall

Source: Manila Bulletin

The new chapel of the Eucharistic Lord at the SM Megamall, which is considered the largest chapel in a shopping mall in the Philippines, was inaugurated recently with a dedication mass officiated by His Eminence, Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales. After more than 10 years, the chapel has moved to a bigger, more spacious place in the mall.

Designed by Architect Gervasio “Joey” Amistoso, the 1,700-sqm chapel is located at the mall’s fifth level in the Mega Atrium area, which is part of the mall’s ongoing expansion. It is the first area in the Mega Atrium to open, leading the way to the opening of its new upscale area later within the year.

The grand chapel has a modern architectural concept with the Eucharist as the focal point in the retablo or altar with the crucified Christ in the middle. The retablo is neo-classical in design, which contrasts with the modern theme of the rest of the chapel.

The color scheme of the area is earth-inspired using neutrals like beige and brown. Finishes are similar to stones used during the Roman Times, which gives the chapel a structurally sound impression, but in a soft and warm approach. Wood in its natural finish is the most common material used in the chapel. The Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord also has a separate adoration chapel and children’s room.

During the event, Cardinal Rosales awarded Mrs. Felicidad Sy with a pectoral cross for her efforts to help provide for the spiritual needs of SM’s shoppers and employees. Pectoral means chest and it symbolizes the ultimate relationship between Christ and the Cardinal, who usually wears it on his chest.

Cardinal Rosales, who said that the main purpose of building the chapel is to bring people closer to God, gave the cross to Mrs. Sy as a symbol of his close relationship with the Sy family.

SM was the first shopping mall to hold regular masses beginning with the opening of SM City-North Edsa in 1985. since that time, many families have started their Sunday gatherings by attending mass in the SM malls. The first chapel of the Eucharistic Lord was inaugurated in 1997, leading the way to the bigger chapel.

Members of the Sy family led by Mrs. Sy attended the rites together with SM officials.

Open? Yeah, but not really, only the fifth level was opened, and it's just for the Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord so it's the only tenant open in the whole Mega Atrium. But don't worry, the whole height of the circular-atrium of the Mega Atrium was not covered at all so you can get a glimpse of how the lower levels look like.

Sige na nga, I postponed easting breakfast and lunch to finish editing this picture. Picture lang ha, not pictures kasi tao rin naman ako at kailangan ko ring kumain. :D

Nothing really new, from this picture it somewhat looks quite like an economized (and circularized, if there's such a word!) version of its sister mall nearby, The Podium. But at least it adds a fresh, more upmarket look and feel to Megamall.

Wow! Astig tignan! Saan ba yan?

Amman, Jordan.

Mas cosmopolitan pa ng sampung beses ang Metro Manila kesa sa Amman. Mabibilang mo sa daliri ang bilang ng Mcdo sa kanila.

I hope ang SM kumuha ng mahusay na landscaper, kailangan nila lalo na sa MOA.

MANILA, Philippines—Ayala Malls, known for innovative retail developments, creating well-planned lifestyle centers, and building beyond commercial spaces, has won three awards from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).

ICSC announced and handed the awards during the gala awards rites on October 15 at the ICSC Asia Expo in Macau.

ICSC has recognized and honored the shopping center industry’s most cutting-edge properties, innovative solutions and creative responses to market trends, as well as outstanding examples of design and development throughout the world.

Ayala Malls received top recognition under the categories of Design & Development and Marketing.

Hello?!?! Anyone? No one noticed this? Everyone seems to be to lazy to open the link. Those are sneaked out shots of the soon-to-open Eastwood Mall. The SSC mallero newbies doesn't seem to be anticipating the opening of this 4-level mall. :(

Come on guys, it's not all SM, Ayala, and Robinsons, there's also Megaworld with some soon-to-open malls like the Eastwood Mall, the fabulous The Venetian Mall with a "Grand Canal" that offers gondola rides ala-Venice, and the U/C mall in Newport City.

Here's a few pictures from that link containing 16 pictures of the new Eastwood Mall:

If you guys notice, Eastwood Mall's design seem to have taken inspiration from several existing malls in the metro, but it can also be a coincidence. :D

The first one I noticed, the drop-lights similar to those in Power Plant:

If you check back on the construction updates for the digging of Eastwood Parkview twin towers, One Central Park, and The Eastwood Park -Hotel and Residential Suites, you'll notice that they've built below-grade a multi-level parking facility, not only for the Eastwood Mall, but also for the 4 aforementioned towers that sits on top of this mall.

The Venetian Mall will be constructed at McKinley Hills, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. :)

I'm sorry with my previous statement a while ago. I didn't realize that SM Malls are getting better with their design and this is evident with Mall of Asia, North Edsa and Fairview. What I am looking for is a classy design like the ones in Powerplant and Ayala Malls. But maybe SM is still targetting the masses. Knowing most Filipinos, if a place looks so high-end, maiilang sila.

Knowing most Filipinos, if a place looks so high-end, maiilang sila.

I think SM never really had to necessarily target the masses, it is the masses that preferred them... I think the reason why SM is going for clean and generic designs is because it is flexible to whatever visual merchandising artistry they may whim... like a blank canvas kumbaga... SMs can go classy to colorful effortlessly yet bumabagay sa space nila lalo na every christmas... they did it all from icy blue to classy wreaths and they executed it quite nicely... try doing that to rockwell that only welcome jewel tones.

another advantage of having a clean design is it ages slowly... SMs that opened way back 90s still looks as trendy as it was a decade ago (at least on the inside) parang Shang... konting re-paint lang and yet it's still one of the classiest malls in the country.

take notice trinoma and greenbelt: in case you didn't notice, no matter how much we hail them as the prettyiest... those malls are having difficulties prettying up itself... it's always on constant renovation. (which is good... i guess) but it is starting to cost a lot... lalo na if they do it almost every 6 months (like we should care no!? mayaman naman sila eh :lol: )

OO nga noh. Blue and White. Pero I think they are hurrying up things. Like yung mga claddings, halos buong mall na ang nacocover nito. Then yung glass na-install na din. Siguro they are tidying up things. By December or January siguro..... O, may basement din?

Dapat high-end ang brands na nandyan....... And also some mid-range since this is a very special part of the mall.....

Is Red Kimono better or just equal to Tokyo Tokyo?

Architects cite green design initiatives at SM conference

Source: Manila Bulletin

The SM Supermalls recently held a conference on Sustainability, Energy, and Green Design Initiatives at the SMX Convention Center. Spearheaded by the SM Supermalls' Environment Committee, the conference was aimed at providing a fresh view on how green design initiatives can influence sustainability and promote environmental preservation.

Some of the country's seasoned architects and engineers shared their views on the subject with SM's executives to bring more awareness on how these timely subjects can impact their mall operations.

Architect Lui Doyo-Garcia, principal architect of MLDDG and head of Green Materials of the Green Architecture Movement discussed the "Definition of Green Architecture and Sustainable Design."

Architect Joven Ignacio, assistant head of the College of Architecture of the University of the Philippines, gave an "Overview of Green Architecture: Culture, Tradition, and Materials." The lecture encouraged the audience to re-think ideas for green living in the context of life in the tropics.

Architect Ignacio explained what materials are, how these affect the surroundings, how these can be sourced, what recycling process these entail, and how everybody can contribute to healthy living.

Architect Mary Ann Espina spoke about "Landscape Architecture," and how this was important in sustainable design. In her presentation, she examined LEED and Sustainable Site Initiatives, two of the world's ongoing Movements on Green Architecture and discussed the principles, problems, and strategies relevant to landscape architecture design.

Architect Amado de Jesus, Jr. of AP de Jesus and Associates focused on the "Building Envelope" - walls, windows, and roofs, which are the first line of defense or boundary that separates the interior from the exterior. More than just being an attractive façade or providing protection from natural elements, the building envelope is an integral part of the building concerned with the safety, security, comfort, and work performance of its occupants.

Engineer Rosendo Perez, Jr. of DSM Energy and Efficiency Solutions, Inc. shared his knowledge on "Air Conditioning," giving the audience an update on its latest trends, as well as the drive to make technology more ecologically viable.

Engineer Eduardo L. Mendoza, chairman of the board of StratEngergy Solutions discussed "Lighting and Electrical Systems." He highlighted the concept of optimized energy management in sustainable buildings. He urged that these must not only incorporate heightened practices of energy efficient buildings, but must also take a responsible attitude towards the use of materials and resources and the use of the site to minimize its impact on the environment.

Architect Robert L. Meckfessel gave the audience guidelines on what to look out for to determine "How Green Is Your Building?"

The Conference of Sustainability, Energy, and Green Design Initiatives is one of the ways the SM Supermalls helps promote environmental awareness.

Naitayo ito April 1995, after ng SM West noon - SM City North EDSA (November 1985), SM Centerpoint - SM City Sta. Mesa ngayon (September 1990), SM Megamall (June 1991), at SM City Cebu (November 1993)^_^

City is North EDSA
Centerpoint is Sta Mesa
Megamall is Ortigas
Southmall is Las Pinas

...nang wala ng maisip na ipapangalan sa mga mall nila (nakalimutan ko kung sino nagpost ng info na ito, credit ko na lang sayo kung sino ka man) Nag rely sila sa First mall which is CITY kaya nagkaroon ng SM City Cebu.

Ngayon Megamall nalang ang hindi napalitan ang pangalan and colloquially Southmall parin ang tawag sa Las Pinas although na SM City Southmall na ata sya kasi alam ko nuong ginagawa nila ang MoA kasabay ng pagpapalit ng name ng SM City Sta Mesa eh pinalitan na ito from Southmall to City Las Pinas.(please correct me if I am wrong)

IMO, Isa lang ang Flagship mall at ngayon Mall of Asia ito. At kung may pangalawa sa pwesto, Megamall at North EDSA lang sa ngayon ang pwedeng pumila. :)

Well, sa simpleng maling paggamit ng term na "flagship" lang pala ang pinagmulan nito. Ang gusto ko lang sabihin sana ay: malaki ang GFA ng SM Southmall (and yeah SM City Southmall na nga ngayon) dahil isa ito sa mga unang tinayo ng SM. Finished.....:lol::lol::lol:

Parang ang pangit pakinggan kung SM City Southmall, parang there's something wrong. :laugh: :D

Kaya naiinis din ako mga taong TriNoma Mall ang ginagamit bilang pantawag sa TriNoma. Ewww, sobrang mali. Dapat TriNoma lang. Because it's the Triangle North of Manila. :yes: It's not just a mall, it's a landmark. :lol: Kaya h'wag na h'wag nilang dadagdagan ng "Mall" ang "TriNoma" or else babatuhin ko sila. :rofl: :jk:

10. Greenbelt -> P967,222

A big gap of difference. Mukhang pagkatapos irelaunch ng SM North, May IMAX na, medyo uunlad unlad naman siguro. Pero malamang makakabawi sila pag nagkaLRT na.

Yup, let's see kung ano na magiging trend after matapos ng mga nasabing projects. Hmmm, at marami ring Ayala Malls sa top ten list ah...
Pero sa tingin ko, makakabawi naman ang SM Cinemas^_^

Pansin ko nga, hehe. Kahit pala Megamall and Glorietta naapektuhan. Sa naaalala ko, simula ng nahilig ako magbasa ng dyaryo (entertainment, 2003), pag nakakabasa ako ng mga movies na malaki ang kinita sa philippines, like matrix spiderman x-men, laging magkakasunod ang sm north, megamall and glorietta. ngayon parang narumble na :)

The problem is most SM theaters still have the two-level configuration. Most people don't like that anymore.

Nakakasawa talaga kung laging ganun... Kaya naman unti-unti na ring pinapalitan ng mga mas makabagong sinehan sa mga malls:)

Sana magkaroon ng arena-type holographic cinemas sa Pilipinas:)

SM eyes 20-hectare property in Cebu for mall, IT buildings

Mall developer SM Prime Holdings, Inc. is looking at a 20-hectare lot within the South Road Properties for a planned shopping mall, hotel and two information technology (IT) buildings. SM Prime President Hans T. Sy said they were in talks with the Cebu City government, which owns the properties, through the latter’s marketing arm, the Cebu Investment Promotions Center (CIPC).

"Negotiations are still going on... We’re still keeping our lines open," Mr. Sy said in an interview during the launch of the north wing of SM City Cebu.
SM Prime originally expressed interest to develop the entire 300-hectare reclaimed property.

But the local government wanted to sell the lots to several entities who will develop large chunks of the property into industrial, commercial, tourism-oriented and mixed-use blocks. So far, Cebu City has received an unsolicited proposal from Filinvest Land, Inc. to develop about 50 hectares of the South Road Properties.

"What we wanted before was not okay. But it’s fine because we have this crisis now, although we’re not affected by the crisis," Mr. Sy said. "We are very much on track and we are still continuing with our expansion program," he added.

He said SM would build a mall on the 20-hectare lot. The company plans to introduce a mixed-use development in the area. "Definitely, [we will build] a mall and we’re looking at other developments. We’re always open for possibilities," he added.

CIPC Managing Director Joel Mari S. Yu said SM Prime officials had told him that the company would immediately build a mall, a hotel and two IT towers as soon it buys the lot. "That mall will be the second biggest in the Philippines, next to the Mall of Asia." I asked them where this confidence is coming from and they assured me that they know what they’re doing," he said. If things go as planned, SM Prime might submit its unsolicited proposal to the city government in the first quarter of 2009, he said.

The city government’s joint venture selection committee, created to evaluate unsolicited proposals to develop the South Road Properties, is now evaluating the Filinvest proposal.

Filinvest wants to buy a 13-hectare lot for about P2 billion and jointly develop it with the local government into a mixed-use commercial center that will include recreational facilities, residential condominium and IT buildings.

Mr. Yu said they hoped a bidding would be held before the end of the year to accommodate other developers who might offer a better deal. The sale and development of the South Road Properties will allow the Cebu City to pay amortization and interest for a P5-billion loan from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. It obtained the loan to reclaim the property, which has since been registered as a special economic zone with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority. — Marites S.Villamor
