The mall complex was formerly a dense forest that was under the minister of the municipal government of Dasmariñas. SM Prime Holdings bought the estimated 12.7 hectare property in 2003. SM Prime Holdings hired Jose Siao Ling and Associates to design the mall. It is strategically located along Governor's Drive near the intersection of Aguinaldo Highway fronting its rival mall Robinsons Place Dasmariñas and it is accessible by jeepney or bus. The mall is within the city's growing Central Business District (CBD) where the major transport terminal and several other retail establishments are located. Because of its location, the mall also serves as a stopover for travelers going to Tagaytay. It is a 5-minute ride by jeepney from the city proper. The mall is located at the heart of the city and it serves as a one-stop shopping destination for the residents of Dasmariñas and other nearby communities like Carmona, General Mariano Alvarez, Silang, and Imus.
