MANILA, Philippines - SM Prime Holdings Inc. opens to the public today its 45th shopping mall in the Philippines and its first in the province of South Cotabato.

The three-level mall, located in Gen. Santos City, has a gross floor area (GFA) of 95,764 square meters and is already 80 percent occupied. It houses four cinemas with a combined seating capacity of 1,400 and parking slots for 1,500 vehicles.

“We warmly welcome our valued customers to SM City Gen. Santos, our first mall in the province of South Cotabato. With its thriving economy, GenSan provides an ideal venue for SM malls as we see a huge potential for growth in the city,” SM Prime president Hans T. Sy said.
