Planning

In terms of historical beginnings, District II is a young Barangay compared with other barangays in the City of Cauayan with historical account that begun during the Spanish period. It was only during the second term of Ex-Mayor Tranquilino Dalupang (1956-1964) that the town proper of Cauayan was divided into "poblacion", thus creating three separate districts. Each was identified as "Poblacion Uno", "Poblacion Dos" and "Poblacion Tres", from which Barangay District II was born [3] SM City Cauayan is located at District II, Cauayan, Isabela. Before SM City Cauayan was built, the Cagayan Valley region is one of the few regions on the Philippines without SM Supermall. [4] [5] Isabela, the richest province among the 5 provinces in the region [6] [7] was the prospect of the SM Management as future site of the mall. On November 8, 2012, SM Investments Corp. has set a P65 billion capital expenditures for 2013 for future SM Malls including the SM in Cauayan, the expanded SM Megamall and SM Aura Premier. [8] Construction began in 2012 in the acquired lot of former Isabela Colleges, the mall was set to open in 2013 but it was moved to March 2014 and then again to May 30, 2014, [9] making it the 49th SM Supermall in the Philippines.

Location

Cauayan, Isabela is the Agro-Industrial Capital of Cagayan Valley and the Central Business District of Region II where rice and corn are the main products. [12] Millions of people residing in this region are either directly engaged in farming, food processing, and other agri- businesses yet the number of shopping centers have remained limited and scattered. According to SM Supermall, [13] Cauayan was viewed by SM Malls as an ideal starting point in establishing the company's presence up North-East Luzon as it caters to unserved markets. SM City Cauayan is the first SM Supermall in North-Eastern Luzon, and the third SM City mall in Northern Luzon. [14] First, being SM City Baguio in the Cordilleras, followed by SM City Rosales, in Pangasinan.

Design and construction

Described by SM Supermall as its first Strip mall, SM City Cauayan holds the title as the first non-premier SM Supermall to offer al-fresco malling.

The mall features a landscape that incorporates nature into the design. Ceiling fans are used to ventilate the arcaded walkways and storefront hallways, a green and cost-effective approach compared with the typical use of air conditioners. Its exterior features include warmly colored panels in random pattern combined with glass and steel finishes for a modern touch. [13]
