All roads recently led to Roxas City when SM City Roxas opened its doors, bringing great shopping, leisure, and entertainment to this beautiful and bustling city in the island of Panay. SM City Roxas is SM Prime Holdings Inc.’s 79th supermall and the third in the Western Visayas region after SM City Iloilo and SM City Bacolod.
Capiz captivates with its breathtaking beaches, enchanting caves, and historical landmarks. Roxas City is a tourist’s paradise with its scenic Baybay Beach and Palina Eco Greenbelt Park with its bright green mangroves and bamboo rafts floating on a river. The birthplace of Manuel Roxas, the 5th President of the Philippines also has a storied past in the City Plaza’s neoclassical buildings and the baroque Sta. Monica Church with its coral stone walls and the biggest Catholic Church bell in Asia.
The interiors of the shopping center are organized in a linear atrium and concourse, with a clerestory at the second level bringing natural light into the spaces. The atrium is accentuated by timber and greens which enliven the interior space. SM City Roxas will have four state of the art regular cinemas and one private cinema with a modern industrial look. Urban materials such as brick and metal are highlighted against bright contemporary colors, and new design elements like steel and wood canopies create intimate seating spaces next to illuminated custom poster frames. It will also have amusement centers for kids of all ages.
