SM City San Jose Del Monte, the 57th SM supermall.
 
SM City San Jose del Monte opens its doors to the public tomorrow, Friday, April 29, as SM Prime Holdings’s 57th mall, and the third in the province of Bulacan after SM City Marilao and SM City Baliwag.

Located on a 60,193-sqm site in Barangay Tungkong Mangga along Quirino Highway, the latest SM City presents a 101,407.28 sqm five-level mall with three levels of retail, and two levels of basement parking and a pond area. It will serve shoppers in San Jose del Monte City and nearby towns in Bulacan, North Metro cities like Caloocan and Quezon City, as well as several areas in Rizal.
 
Located at the northeast periphery of Metro Manila, the San Jose del Monte City is bounded by the Bulacan municipalities of Marilao and Santa Maria on the west, and Norzagaray on the North. Quezon province lies to the east, Rizal province to its southeast, and Caloocan City to its south.
 
Known as the “balcony of the metro,” San Jose del Monte is the largest town in Bulacan in terms of land area and population.  It was proclaimed the first city of Bulacan on Sept. 10, 2000. Its proximity to Manila and Quezon City has made the place ideal for quiet and peaceful living.
 
The place is hilly, with the Sierra Madre Mountains providing a panoramic backdrop to the area. With that, it continues to grow as private subdivisions mushroom in strategic areas, and it develops as an ideal industrial site.

Because of its prime location for enterprise and investments, growing residential and commercial developments, as well as satisfactory infrastructure and support facilities, San Jose del Monte is considered as one of the thriving cities for doing business in the country. The opening of SM City San Jose del Monte highlights SM’s confidence in the city’s booming economy, and will be a catalyst for employment and business opportunities.

SM City San Jose del Monte’s carefully integrated architecture, landscape, and planning will ensure a convenient urban experience for its customers. The exterior architectural design is sophisticated and bold, featuring crisp colors and textures. A striking West Plaza has a monumental presence along Quirino Highway, featuring a stepped water feature, and eye- catching signage that welcomes shoppers at the mall entrance.
 
The rear of the site overlooks a vibrant natural landscape. The dining balconies overlook a public plaza and graceful parkway. The plaza, with its water features, central pond, and pedestrian bridge, will provide shoppers a place to relax and take in the views.
 
SM City San Jose del Monte’s interiors are organized around a central atrium that terraces back at each level, allowing natural clerestory light to reach deep into the building. Pedestrian bridges cross the atrium on each floor, while stairs, elevators, and escalators traverse the space vertically, contributing to the dynamic feel of the interior. The space is further accentuated by vivid bands of color which give the space a festive, contemporary appearance.
 
The SM Store and SM Supermarket are the mall’s major retail anchors, leading the way with SM mainstays like SM Appliance Center, Watsons, Ace Hardware, Surplus, and BDO. There is more shopping fun ahead with the many fashion boutiques like For Me, Penshoppe, Bench, EMO, Oxygen, Regatta, Genevieve Gozum, Mendrez, Dickies, Shapes, Mint open together with Baby stores like Osh Kosh B’ Gosh and Chicabootie ; jewelry stores like Silverworks, Unisilver, Timedepot; eyewear stores like Executive Optical, Yes Optical and Ideal Vision .
