SM Investments Corp. (SMIC) has embarked on a multi-billion peso development project for the construction of a 60-hectare mixed use complex envisioned to become a premier business and tourism destination in the
Philippines.

Dubbed the Mall of Asia Complex, the project is located along the coast of 
Manila Bay and will consist of technologically advanced infrastructure integrated with office, retail, institutional, residential, and leisure components. The complex houses, the SM Mall of Asia, and will soon boast of a state-of-the-art business and IT hub, the country’s largest convention center, a 16,000- seat sport and entertainment arena.

SM executive vice president for real property Josefino Lucas said the complex will boost Philippine tourism as well as redefine Manila’s place among the new and exciting urban centers in
Asia.

The OnE-comCenter, a 10-storey building designed for e-commerce, contact centers, BPO companies, and specialized office uses will be completed late this year. It will provide leading edge facilities such as multi-telco redundancy and connectivity, 100% backup power supply, basketball and badminton courts at deck level and central courtyard amenities, to meet the growing needs of technology-based companies with 24/7 operations.

Fitness First Philippines, Inc. will house the club’s 16th branch in the country on the ground floor and second levels of
OneE-comCenter. Set to open by last quarter of this year, the fitness center will cater to the health and fitness needs of people specially those who work 24/7 in the call centers.

Also set to rise within the Mall of Asia Complex is
SMXConvention Center, which is envisioned to be the country’s premier destination for both local and international trade and cultural events. The three-storey, 46,647 square meter building will feature open exhibition areas, multi functional halls and flexible meeting rooms with modern exposition amenities for major conferences and trade exhibits.

Another major development projects is the SM Arena, a sprawling indoor facility for big-time sports and entertainment events that can seat over 16,000 spectators.

Likewise in the pipeline are the construction of the SM Ferry, which will feature a modern ferry terminal to service guest and tourist who wish to travel to
CaviteCityand Bataan, or to SMIC’s eco-tourism development estate, the
HamiloCoastin Nasugbu, Batangas.

Also to be built is the SM Land Showroom which will showcase the resort residential features of the Hamilo Estate; and leisure strip area which is set to soft-open this October, where people can converge and unwind after a hard days work and look forward to fresh and hip themed happenings every month with their choice drinks and spirits. The Mall of Asia Complex will also give rise to real property investments such as deluxe hotels, upscale offices and full-serviced apartments.

SMIC just recently forged a memorandum of agreement with the Microtel Inn and Suites hotel group to put up a 150 hotel room strategically located near the
SMXConvention Centerand the SM Mall of Asia. Also in the pipeline is the rise of the Radisson hotel in October 1009 near the
OneE-ComCenter.

These world-class and high-tech infrastructure and facilities perfectly complement the initial major attraction of the complex-the SM Mall of Asia. Dubbed as the
Philippines’ largest mall and among the world’s biggest in terms of gross floor size, the SM Mall of Asia is home to flagship stores of premier establishments which features over 700 shops and dining establishments and offers the country’s IMAX Theater and the first Olympic sized ice skating rink.

Aside from the mall, the Shrine of Jesus, The Way, The Truth and The Life Church, and the SM Corporate offices are already in place at the sprawling complex. The SM Corporate office consists of six one-storey structures which house the corporate offices of the SM Group and Teletech, a major international call center.
