I have been hearing about SM building a Shopping Mall right here in San Pablo City for years and yet not one structure with the SM name on it has ever been built anywhere in the City. Before, it was rumored that an SM Mall will be built in the current location of Banahaw Compound but that never happened.
WikiPilipinas even has a page about it but we know their information is incorrect because according to them, “SM Supercenter San Pablo is one of the newest SM City Malls and is set to open before Mid-2008 . It is located at Rizal Avenue, San Pablo City, Laguna.“
By doing a little Googling, I learned that they (SM) do have plans on building a Shopping Mall here in San Pablo City. According to SMDevelopment.com, “SM San Pablo (Laguna), on the other hand, is in the planning stages and due for completion in 2008.”
That was a year ago.
ManilaTimes.net in an online article said, “Lim said construction for SM San Pablo may start late this year or may be pushed back to early 2009. The facility may be operational by late next year to 2010.” If we follow this news or story then construction should have been on-going but the question is where?
The latest rumor that I’ve collected about SM San Pablo is that construction will start maybe next year (2010) and it will be constructed at Barangay San Rafael near Riverina and Honda San Pablo. Please note that this info is not yet conclusive. It is just what people around me are saying about the construction of SM San Pablo.
Having a major shopping mall like SM in San Pablo City is very significant because it will not only produce those much needed jobs but it will also increase tourism for the city. People from neighboring towns like Calauan, Tiaong, Sto. Tomas, Rizal, Nagcarlan and others will be flocking into the city. Also, it will give me and my family a new place to visit in the city.

sa wakas,talo si martin! wala ng haharang sa mga proyekto ni Amante para sa san pablo… teka? si martin ba ay naging vice mayor? o ung tatay nya? hahaha buti nga! di ka na kaberks! kajejemon ka na!
34,400 sq.ms. lang talaga ang sm san pablo. so small naman
34,409 sqms lang talaga ang sm san pablo. so small naman
Sorry, your info is false, Amante is the actual reason SM has had problems getting a store in San Pablo (It was actually planned before SM Lucena.)
The reason Amante stopped all efforts before is because of a certain “group” that would be seriously disadvantaged, since they helped Amante on his early years before becoming Mayor, he is indebted to them, and thus cannot refute their requests.
It only got through because this group's influence on the mayor has now weakened. And was also offered more more money/benefits by SM Prime Holdings. =P
upload nman kau ng picture ng gnagawang sm san pablo.tnxz
Any news about call center in SM San Pablo? I've heard that there will be a call center somewhere in San Pablo or inside SM.
Alam ko may itinayong Call Center ang MSC dati. I guess, contact MSC na lang for info tungkol sa Call Center nila.
pinaka maliit po ang sm city rosario cavite 22,000 sq.ms. lang , ang ginagawa po ng sm kapag maliit ang land area, tinataasan ang building para malaki ang floor area yun ang mahalaga kasi nasa loob ng building ang floor area kung saan andoon ang mga stablishment
ang sm san pablo ay 80,000 sq.ms. ang floor area kaya napakaraming tenants ang pwede mag rent and take note 2 buildings daw po ang sm san pablo bldg A and bldg B kita nyo nung umpisa pa lang construction 2 ang tower crane at kahit saan po makita ang streamer ng sm san pablo sa may central overpass, sa highway,sa site,sa p.alcantara st. nakalagay”we are now hiring for SM CITY SAN PABLO” malinaw na sm city sya.
tama po si joker, ang pinaguusapan po dito ay ang gross leasing floor area, maliit nga po ang land area 34,000 sq.m. lang pero dahil sa 2 or 3 levels po sya ang gross floor area nya ay 80,000 sq.m. kung ganto po talaga ang gross floor area nya kung tutuusin mas malaki pa nang konti ang SM San Pablo kaysa sa mga kalapit na SM kagaya nang Lucena, Sta. Rosa, Lipa at Batangas..anyways sana naman po me mag upload nang bagong photos or video uli para sa mga katulad namin na wala sa pinas..sabik po kami sa development or update lalo na sa bayan natin SP.. thank you po!
sm rosario gross floor area ay 57,559 sq.m. ang lot area ay 5.7 hectares. source: http://www.smprime.com/smprime/index.php?p=671&...
ang pinakamaliit na SM po ay SM Pasig. San mo naman nalaman na 22,000 ang SM Rosario. SM San pablo is not 80,000sqm. site your source.
A source that SM San Pablo has only a gross floor area of 34,409sqm http://business.inquirer.net/money/topstories/v...
it's facade or frontage along the highways looks longer than that of sm lipa, and definitely longer that of sm lucena. perhaps di gaano malapad ang sm san pablo, mahaba lang tingnan, so the 34,409 sq.ms. area may be true, it it is true. let's wait til it opens to see
Excited na mga kababayan ko ah! Maganda na rin daw Ultimart.
correct! walang makakapagsabi anyone here kung gaano kalaki o kalapad sm san pablo until di pa nag open let wait nga sa opening pag napasok na ok!
kakaibang frontage kasi parang iilang resto lang ang mailalagay, konti ang salamin sa harap, nasilip ko rin na may isang eye shape atrium, pati mukhang walang west and east wing, ung portion ng malapit sa ilog ilalagay ang public transport, un lang ang napansin ko.
sa tingin ko malaki ang loob nyang sm na yan, kasi maliliit lang size ng establishment dyan dikit dikit pa syempre mall yan eh, ang ultimart kaliit may 50 yata ang establihment sa loob, di hamak na triple ang laki nyan sa ultimart may isa pa building sa likod pahaba sya, at nakalgay sa wikipedia SM CENTER san pablo sa tingin ko din mali pag kakaedit dun, pwede mo kasi iedit yun kasi lahat ng streamer ng sm san pablo nakalagay “WE ARE NOW HIRING FOR SM CITY SAN PABLO” malinaw na sm city imposibleng mag kamali sm ng pag print at mag sinungaling sila sa pag announced di ba.
That's the problem with Wikipedia. Anyone can edit it.
To jackarias Joker Hindi po SM Rosario ang pinakamaliit na SM mall. Ang pinakamaliit na SM Mall ay ang SM Pasig with 29,017.12 tapos pangalawa sa maliit ay ang SM Center Las Pinas 32,387 at kung totoo na 34,409 lang ang gross floor area ng SM San Pablo. Sya na 3rd na pinakamaliit. wag naman sana. Ang Center Las Pinas at Pasig walang sinehan
May hiring po ba for SM Department Store San Pablo. kapag walang SM Department Store talagang hindi sya SM City yan. Wag naman sana. Napapangitan ako sa mga SM na centers lang at hindi city. Iba kasi kapag may department store.
Magkasinglaki ang SM San Pablo at Robinsons Santa Rosa kung totoong 34,409 lang ang gross floor area ng SM (City or Center) San Pablo kasi ang Rob Sta. Rosa ay 33,000. Rob Sta. Rosa is okay nung wala pa sila SM. marami ding shops dun. Kaya okay lang pala kahit 34,000 lang at least may SM na major mall kahit center pa o city kaysa naman Savemore lang ginawa d2.
well, sana lang mag click ang sm san pablo at hindi sa umpisa lang. in southern luzon, pinakamahina ang sm lucena. and according to some sources, sa buong pilipinas ata. ang sm lipa, which is the nearest to sm san pablo, (or is itsm calamba soon) ay malakas at nag na number two among sm malls in south luzon
Malamang malakas 'yan ng mga ilang buwan. Depende na rin siguro sa mga attractions kung dadayuhin siya ng tao o hindi. Siyempre yung shopping experience din. Kung para lang din namang Mall-engke baka mag-ultimart na lang mga tao.
Ano #1 sa South Luzon? Bacoor or Dasmarinas? Sa movie sales alam ko Dasmarinas sa buong Luzon pero sa buong mall I think its Bacoor. Swerte ng mga taga Northern Cavite magkakadikit malls nila malapit pa sa MOA & Southmall
I'm sure click ang SM San Pablo. SM Lucena in my opinion masyadong malaki ang ginawang SM dun
click yan kasi malayo din SM Lipa mahal pamasahe.
click yan kasi malayo din SM Lipa mahal pamasahe.
i just saw sm calamba. pangit location, patagilid, maliit ang frontahe di kasi nabili ang harapan. parang mas malaki ang sm calamba kesa dito sa tin. pero ang sm san pablo natin has a better location considering it is along the highway, mas accessible, mas maluwag at ang ganda ng frontage kitang kita kagad. excited na ko mag open sya
kaya siguro konte ang salamin sa harap eh baka yung mga resto eh walang al fresco format kagaya ng mga tenants ng sm lipa, may dine-in sa loob ng mall at the same time pwde sa labas, or al fresco nga. pero sana marami ding restaurant tenants ang sm natin. one good news eh meron Classic Savory. the best ang chicken dun. aside from the regular mainstays Jollibee, Mcdo, Chowking and KFC

meron dyan updates ng SM San Pablo. bad news: maliit lang talaga (2 floors only) good news: SM city sya
SM City will open on September 24, 2010. check http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=...
correct! sept.24 nga opening sm city san pablo, 2 floor sya pero may roofdeck, at may nakaabang na lote pa para sa additional building cinemas will open between oct. and nov. according to my source sya lang naman ang sm branch mall manager dyan.
hindi naman porket may bakanteng at nakaabang na lote ay maglalagay agad ng additional buildings. Sorry pero medyo duda ako sa source mo kasi marami ka ng maling sinabi. una sabi mo pinaka maliit po ang sm city rosario cavite 22,000 sq.ms. lang (which is wrong) . pangalawa sabi mo tinataasan ang building para malaki ang floor area yun ang mahalaga kasi nasa loob ng building ang floor area kung saan andoon ang mga stablishment (2 floor lang po ang SM San Pablo at talaga po lang mataas ang mga abgong ceiling ng SM Malls). pangatlo sabi mo ang sm san pablo ay 80,000 sq.ms. ang floor area (napakaimposibleng kasing laki ng SM Sta Rosa kitang kita naman sa floor plan nito na maliit lang pero ayos naman at least SM City sya) pang-apat sabi mo 2 buildings daw po ang sm san pablo bldg A and bldg B kita (isang building lang po ito na nahahati sa napakalaking gitna na napakainam for special events kagaya rin ng ibang bagong SM malls)
based on the floor plan that i saw on the skyscrapercity, maliit nga lang at mukhang ilang tenants lang ang mailalaman, at yung gallery o walk area maigsi lang, di gaya sa lipa, dalawang mahahaba na T-design. Pero quite ok na din kasi complete ang major anchors na supermarket, department store, cinemas at food court. in other words, di siya supercenter lang.
may I ask kung san ang site at kung open na ba figaro coffee shop. May nakita kasi ako announcement sa harap ng Sm san pablo. Exciting. can't wait na kauwi jan sa atin. BTW, may starbucks kaya sa loob ng SM. Thank you for the infos you post.
oo nga sm city sya. kaya okay na rin kahit maliit
tama nga, semi eye shape yung atrium, kakaibang sm kaya lang ang liit na tingnan ng sm lucena, ay lalo na siguro ito, nagpalaki sa tingin gawa ng eye shape atrium, ang maganda may sinehan ng mapapagpilian hindi yung nagaantay ng ilang linggo bago mapanood dito, ayos din ang style mukhang sm rosario pero oval ang atrium dun. mukhang sa dami ng tao sa san pablo kulang ang space lalo na kapag holidays, hindi nalalayong magexpand pa sila to an annex building, pansin ko sa floor plan, walang hagdan, kundi yung nasa atrium at department store lang na escalator ang access mo pataas, fireworks display ang inaantay ko dyan, astig…
Right now I'm in Europe so it's very clear that I'm away from San Pablo and maybe in 2011 I'm going back there and I'm so excited for what I heard about SM city San Pablo. I also googled SM city San Pablo and I've seen different pictures, floor plans and some blogs like this so I was wondering what SM city San Pablo will look like. When I was in San Pablo there's no shopping malls that is like SM does so when I want to go shopping and watch movies, me and my family or friends goes in Manila where we can find defferent shopping malls like MOA,Greenhills,Waltermart,Ali mall and other SM branches,
that's why I'm so happy when I've seen the image of the construction of SM city San Pablo. Now I'm just wondering if (SM city San Pablo) it's like most of SM branches that are huge. Maybe someone can tell me any details about it (SM city San Pablo). Just by posting messages here. Thank you very much in advance.
will somebody please post the latest pictures of SM San Pablo. Thanks a lot….
