History

Construction began on early 2006. SM Prime Holdings and BF Construction Corporation are the developers of the mall.

The mall's structures utilized 246 stilts, enabling the mall to support the upper levels (Basement 1 up to top floors) from its ground area (Basement 2). It also has new bridges (branching towards Marikina-Infanta Highway) surrounding the establishment. The mall's main entrance is located at the 3rd level of the building (1st floor of the mall) to be at par with Marikina-Infanta Highway's high elevation, and to minimize if not prevent damage to the structure and the mall itself during flooding.
