SM brings its shopping, leisure, and entertainment excitement up north with the opening of SM City Cauayan in Isabela tomorrow, May 30.  It is SM Prime Holding’s 49th supermall and its first in the Cagayan Valley region.

Located on a 41,000 sqm property along Maharlika Highway, the 66,300 sqm mall will serve shoppers in bustling Isabela as well as nearby provinces in the Cagayan Valley – Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino.

SM City Cauayan

As the second largest province in the Philippines, Isabela – which is home to Magat Dam, a major source of power and water supply in Northern Luzon – is an ideal point in building SM’s presence in the region.

SM City Cauayan will give residents of this city an al fresco malling experience similar to that in SM’s Premier Malls.  The two-story building features a roof deck with a vibrant landscape.

More than just being a center of shopping and fun, it is also environmentally friendly.  Passive cooling, which is a green and cost effective approach, was considered in the overall design of the mall, walkways, and storefront hallways.  Its exterior features are highlighted by brightly colored louvers, which also act as sun shades.

The SM Store and SM Supermarket lead the shopping excitement along with the SM Appliance Center, ACE Hardware, and Watsons.  Global fashion brands like Giordano, Payless Shoesource, and Guess will have stores in the mall along with Bench, Penshoppe, and Prima Donna.

A mix of international food chains are in the mall as well as well-loved local players.

It will also feature some of Isabela’s best food stops – Café Isabela, Chocolate Coffeeline, Yah! Coffee, and Hiroshi Tokyo Style Takoyaki.

The mall also has a Cyberzone for techies, services for busy shoppers, and wellness centers for pampering. It’s also a place for entertainment – six state-of-the-art cinemas, as well as amusement areas like Quantum, I Play n Ride, Sportszone, QBox Station, and Bingo Bonanza.

For customer convenience, the mall has 530 parking slots and 130 motorcycle slots.
