The SM Mall of Asia is a shopping mall that opened on May 21, 2006 and is the Philippines’ largest mall, toppling its cousin, SM Megamall, and the third biggest mall in the world in terms of gross floor size. It is owned and operated by SM Prime Holdings, under the management of Henry Sy, a Filipino-Chinese business tycoon — regarded as one of the wealthiest men in Asia.
The design is awesome. It’s so much bigger than SM Megamall. Lots of natural lighting, colors and a spectacular view of Manila Bay. Some of the unique features found only in this mall is the IMAX theater, the seaside gallery, the tram that seats 20 visitors, a car to stroll senior citizens. The best feature for me is the marina area where the sea breeze from Manila Bay cools diners even during noontime. The walkway towards the marina area brings a spectacular view of Manila Bay. It would be great to see the sunset from this area. It looks like most of the shoppers are now in SM Mall of Asia.
