SM City Zamboanga is a shopping mall located in Zamboanga City. Developed and owned by SM Prime Holdings, it opened to the public on March 20, 2026, as the second SM Supermall in both the city and the Zamboanga Peninsula. It is the 90th SM Supermall in the Philippines and the 8th in the Mindanao region following SM City Mindpro. SM City Zamboanga is the second largest mall in the city and the region, following KCC Mall de Zamboanga which is located just across the same street.
Following the successful opening of SM City Mindpro in December 2020, SM Prime Holdings began scouting for a larger site to develop a second, larger mall in the city.[1] The mall is located along Vitaliano Agan Avenue, one of the busiest Avenues in the city and opened on March 20, 2026.[2]
Unlike SM City Mindpro of which 30% is being managed by Mindpro Retail Inc, SM City Zamboanga is fully owned by SM Prime Holdings.
Mall features
SM Prime Holdings envisioned the new 4-level mall to rise as a new lifestyle landmark in the city. The mall will features an elevated biophilic design language and an indoor garden. The mall features a range of new global brands, dining concepts, and leisure attractions built in over 60,000 square meters of premium retail space.[3]
The 4-level development adds more than 42,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) to Zamboanga City’s retail landscape and is set to open with an exciting line-up of tenants, with most being Zamboanga's firsts.
SM City Zamboanga introduces several first-in-the-city features.
The mall's central atrium features a "Waterfall LED Display" integrated into the facade of the 22-meter 4-level scenic elevator, which is the tallest in Mindanao. While the exterior of the mall features an corner Anamorphic LED display which will be the first of it's kind in Mindanao.
The mall also houses Zamboanga’s first electric vehicle charging station, Valet parking, along with sustainability initiatives such as solar panels, a Trash to Cash recycling program and an e-waste collection facility.
Designed to serve the region’s diverse community, the mall will include a Muslim Prayer Room.
It will be anchored by major tenants including The SM Store, Mindpro Supermarket, Adidas, Fully Booked, JCO Reserve (the first in Mindanao), and Gashapon from Japan.
Additional features include an indoor garden with a high skylight ceiling and aviary-themed park (Skyplaza), an upgraded Cyberzone, a modernized Food Court, three digital SM Cinemas with two Director’s Clubs cinemas, and a dedicated Paw Park.[4]
Food Court
The food court's design incorporates elements of the Zamboanga Peninsula's rich and diverse cultural heritage, utilizing regional patterns and traditional architectural motifs.
Cinemas
SM City Zamboanga houses five cinema screens operated by SM Lifestyle Entertainment Inc. This includes three standard-format theaters and two Director's Club cinemas, which offer premium seating and concierge services.
Supermarket
While the mall is owned and developed by SM Prime Holdings, the anchor supermarket is operated by Mindpro Retail Inc. (a subsidiary of SM Retail Inc.) under the Mindpro Supermarket brand.
This arrangement is unique within the SM Supermalls portfolio; it is the first instance of a fully-owned SM mall anchoring a supermarket that is not managed by SM's own; Supervalue Inc. (SM Supermarket) or Super Shopping Market Inc. (SM Hypermarket).
