SM City Marikina is a shopping mall owned and managed by SM Prime Holdings, and is located in Calumpang, Marikina, Philippines. SM Supermalls is owned by Henry Sy, Sr. SM City Marikina opened in 2008.
Upon completion in 2008, it is the 31st SM Supermall built in the Philippines, 14th SM Mall built within Metro Manila, and 3rd among other SM malls opened in the eastern region of Metropolitan Manila, after SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City and SM Center Pasig in Pasig City.
SM City Marikina is located near Marikina River and Riverbanks Center. It is situated along Marcos Highway (Radial Road-6 or R6), Barangay Calumpang, Marikina City. This mall has a total of 60,000 square meter land area and a total of 124,877.85 square meter gross floor area, consider as one of the largest structures in Marikina valley.
SM City Marikina was opened to the public on September 5, 2008, with opening ceremonies and ribbon cutting headed by then MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando, and his wife, then Marikina City Mayor Marides Fernando and other city officials, as well as the owner of SM Prime Holdings Henry Sy, and SM executives.
The mall began its plans in 2006 when Henry Sy bought an estimated 120,000 square meter lot that was owned by Bayani Fernando which was supposed to become an amusement park called Fun Pamilya. Construction began on early 2006. SM Prime Holdings and BF Construction Corporation are the developers of the mall.
The mall's structures utilized strong vertical tubes, 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 Marcos 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 Marcos Highway's high elevation, and to minimize if not prevent damage to the structure and the mall itself during flooding.
