Mall features
The 103,000 squre meter mall has four levels and with its contemporary design, it was envisioned to be a landmark in the area. Its exteriors are built with colored metal cladding, while its new interior layout is organized from a central space and circulation consisting of an atrium in the shape of an eye. This culminates in a skylight, where a series of panels recreate the shape of the atrium itself.
The glass portion on the sides of the skylight allows natural light to flow into the mall without the creation of heat, resulting not only in brighter and more spacious, but also more environmentally friendly, interiors. A scenic elevator will give shoppers a breathtaking view of the mall’s different levels.
Complementing these are fashion boutiques, home stores, bookstores, jewelry stores, shoe stores, and novelty stores. A Cyberzone with the computer and telecom stores will serve the techie market, while service stores complete the shopping experience.
Eating out options include the SM Food Court, local and international fast food chains and specialty restaurants. An al fresco restaurant row will be one of the mall’s attractions.
The mall also has four state-of-the-art cinemas as well as amusement areas to provide entertainment to its shoppers.
For the convenience of its customers, SM City Tarlac has a six-story building adjacent and connected to the mall with five levels exclusively for parking. It will have about 1,000 slots for parking – 800 for cars and the rest for motorcycle and jeepney parking.
