History
SM Prime first announced their interest to put up a supermall in Cabanatuan City in 2002 but politics hindered the project's implementation. The 25-hectare (250,000 m2) land acquired by the company in Brgy. Sta. Arcadia laid bare for a decade. Renewed interest came in 2012 when the company made press releases about its upcoming mall in Cabanatuan City. It also marked a new set of negotiations and land acquisition on land plots along Maharlika Highway in Brgy. H. Concepcion. The lot in Sta. Arcadia was set aside for future development. In the new site, the company initially acquired 10 hecatares (100,000 m2) which increased to 14 hecatres (140,000 m2) before construction of the mall commenced. Architects of Jose Siao Ling and Associates were responsible for the design of a 65,000 m2, 5-story mall. This design just became a precursor to the final when later demographic survey conducted by SM Prime in 2013 revealed Cabanatuan's daytime population almost reaches a million, larger than previously thought, thus necessitating a revision in the malls preliminary design. Revision took almost a year, finally revealing in September 2013 the design with the mall's current GFA. Building works started in December 2013 and finished in October 2015.
