SM Mall of Asia is almost four hectares of floor area. 8,000 parking slots. 5,000 square meters are allotted for public utility vehicles. 100 slots for tourist buses. It has variety of stores, eateries and entertainment options.
In the early nineties, SM Prime parent company, SM Investments Corporation (SM), joined a consortium to reclaim 100 hectares of land along scenic Manila Bay in Pasay City. Back then, known visionary Mr. Henry Sy, Sr., chairman of both SM and SM Prime, already had in mind building one of the largest malls in Asia. He envisioned the mall to be more than just a shopping complex. He wanted it to be a premier integrated leisure destination.
In May 2006, Mr. Sy’s vision turned to reality with the opening of the SM Mall of Asia, SM Prime’s 25th mall, right at the heart of SM BayCity.
SM Mall of Asia, also abbreviated as SM MoA, or simply Mall of Asia or MoA, is a large shopping mall in the Philippines, located at Bay City, Pasay, Philippines, within the SM Central Business Park, a reclaimed area within the Manila Bay, and the southern end of the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.
