SM City Tanza is a shopping mall owned by SM Prime Holdings. It is the seventh SM Supermall to be opened in Cavite and 80th in the country.[2] It is located along Antero Soriano Highway corner Dr. Solis Street, Daang Amaya 2, Tanza, Cavite. It has a land area of 8.67 hectares (21.4 acres) and a total gross floor area of 60,029 m2 (646,150 sq ft), making it the fourth largest shopping mall in the province after SM City Trece Martires. The two-story mall opened with 89% of the available space leased.[1][3]
Tenants include SMSTORE, SMSUPERMARKET, Ace Hardware, SMAPPLIANCE CENTER, Watsons, Pet Express, Miniso, Uniqlo, Crocs, Surplus and Banco De Oro.[1] There will also be five cinemas.[1]
The mayor of Tanza, Yuri Pacumio, said approximately five months before the mall's opening that he "can’t wait for the opening of the new SM" as the mall would bring both new shopping options and job opportunities for residents.[4]
In June 2022, around 1,000 senior citizens and persons with disabilities from Tanza sought jobs at the mall during a recruitment event. Mayor Pacumio said that 80% of the jobs were expected to be filled by Tanza residents.[5]
The Mall Features
Mall Design
The two-story and nearly 60,000-square meter mall's design was inspired by the chief means of livelihood in Tanza, which were farming and fishing, as well by the nearby beach resorts along the coastline. Symbolizing warmth from the colors of the boats and the serenity of the sea, SM City Tanza's interiors have been configured in an L-shaped layout and provided with natural clerestory light that stretched across the mall area, including the Cyberzone.
The ceiling was accented with curvilinear cove-light lines that depicted the ripples of the sea. The mall also had a 1,500-square meter Events Center, which was for activities and exhibits. It also featured a lush, landscaped indoor area, providing the mall with places to relax, shop and dine.
