The mall will also house Zamboanga’s first electric vehicle charging station, along with sustainability initiatives such as solar panels, a Trash to Cash recycling program and an e-waste collection facility.
Designed to serve the region’s diverse community, the mall will include a Muslim Prayer Room. It will be anchored by major tenants including The SM Store, Mindpro Supermarket, Adidas, Fully Booked, JCO Reserve, and Gashapon from Japan.
Additional features include an indoor garden with a high skylight ceiling and aviary-themed park (Skyplaza), an upgraded Cyberzone, a modernized Food Court, three digital SM Cinemas with two Director’s Clubs cinemas, and a dedicated Paw Park.
