If you haven’t been to <b>SM City San Pablo</b> then you are not missing that much. The Cinema and some shops are still not open yet. SM City San Pablo isn’t really that big. If you want to see the entire mall without breaking a sweat then simply stand in the center of the mall and you’ll be able to see everything. That’s how big it is but it’s way better than our San Pablo City Shopping Mall.<br />
<br />
If you ask me, <b>SM City San Pablo</b> is actually not that big compared to other franchise. Most people of San Pablo would probably say the same thing. At the very center of the mall, stand there, rotate 360 degrees and then you instantly saw the wholeness of SM City San Pablo. But, when it comes to finding the right items, groceries, books, other school supplies, hardware, computer shops, gym equipment, restaurants, coffee shops and many more. This mall has still everything you need. <br />

<br />
Actually when I'm thinking about anchors, the first thing I thought of is something related to a ship. A huge metal used to hook in seabed.<br />
<br />
Sorry for being intellectually challenge by the word "anchor." LOL<br />
<br />
Anyway, in business like in shopping mall like the one to be build in San Pablo City, in the Province of Laguna, in my motherland----the Philippines. SM City San Pablo has anchors, which I research in <a href="http://answers.com/">answers.com</a> for clarification. And according to that <a href="http://answers.com/">site</a>, is one of the larger store in shopping mall, usually a department store or a retail chain.<br />
<br />
<b>SM City San Pablo Has Four Major Anchors Namely:</b><br />
<br />

<br />
<b>SM Department Store</b><br />
The very foundation and one of the major anchors inside the mall. The one-stop shopping experience in fashion, footwear and other good quality products can only be found at SM Department Store.<br />

I just want to note that the logos are not the actual logo. It may vary depending on the shopping mall branch. At least I gave an idea on what to see in SM Shopping Mall in San Pablo City. If you're familiar with other branches of SM Shopping Mall, you have already know about major anchors.<br />
<br />
The time I'm typing this, SM City San Pablo is under construction. Just giving you on what to expect in this huge remarkable shopping mall. <br />

February 3, 2010, 5:49pm<br />
<br />
SM Prime Holdings Inc., the country’s biggest mall developer, is planning to raise $300 million from both domestic and international investors by being among the first to issue real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
In an interview yesterday during the opening of the new P500 million annex in SM City Fairview, SM Prime executive vice president Jeffrey Lim said they are currently shopping for a financial adviser that will help them package the fund raiser.<br />
<br />
He said they have yet to decide how many and which malls will be included in the asset pool but noted that these will have to be ones that are already providing a regular stream of profits.<br />
<br />
Lim said they can be expected to issue the REITs as early as May when the implementing rules and regulations for the REIT law have already been issued. He noted that the law has already been published and the IRR should come out 90 days after the law becomes effective.<br />
<br />
“REITs will help develop the capital market by bringing in new investors while allowing us to unlock the value of our properties,” said Lim noting that the size will have to be big enough to attract foreign investors who will provide the issue with liquidity.<br />
<br />
Lim said proceeds from the REIT offer will help fund the firm’s capital expenditures program this year amounting to P12 billion of which P8 billion will be used to start construction of five new malls in the country while P4 billion will be spent for its expansion in China.<br />
<br />
SM Prime is starting construction this year of malls in Calamba (Laguna), Tarlac, Novaliches, Masinag (Antipolo), and San Pablo (Laguna) which are targeted for opening in 2011. In China, construction will start in Chong Qing.<br />
<br />
For next year, SM Prime will start building malls in General Santos City, Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City, Lanang (second mall in Davao City) and its second mall in Cebu to be located in La Consolacion, South Reclamation project.<br />
<br />
Lim said they expects to add 300,000 square meters to their current gross leasable area of 4.5 million square meters this year and another 300,000 to 350,000 square meters next year.<br />
<br />
According to Lim, SM Prime is expected to post a net income growth of 8 to 10 percent in 2009 on the back of revenue growth of 12 to 15 percent, boosted by earnings of new malls as well as rising sales from existing malls.<br />
<br />
He added that the firm also expects 2010 to be a better year financially based on the forecast economic growth of as much as 4 percent combined with the opening of five more malls this year.<br />

<br />
The City of San Pablo, or Lungsod ng San Pablo, is a second-class income city found at the southern portion of the Laguna province in the South Luzon region of the Philippines. It is located 82 kilometers from Manila, sprawled among the foothills of Mount Cristobal and Mount Banahaw with a total land area of 197.60 km².<br />
<br />
It is otherwise known as the <b>“City of Seven Lakes”</b> because it is bequeathed with the seven crater lakes of <b>Sampalok, Yambo, Calibato , Muhikap, Palakpakin, Pandin, and Bunot</b>. These lakes have figured prominently in the people’s livelihood ideal grounds for fresh water fishing and fish-raising. <br />
<br />
Aside from fishing and tourism industries, San Pablo is also a major industrial center that primarily manufactures coco-based food products such as <b>buko pie, buko juice, macapuno and nata de coco preserves, desiccated coconut, and coconut cooking oil</b>. Other industries include the manufacturing of processed meat products, bottled water, coco lumber, stainless kitchenware, and steel bodies for jeepneys.<br />
<br />
<b>Residential Places in San Pablo</b> <br />
<br />
Almost all the 80 barangays that politically subdivides San Pablo City consists of residential neighborhoods. Some of these residential neighborhoods are found within gated communities locally referred to as subdivisions and villages. These are the most often preferred residence of middle to upper class families as they often feature walled perimeters with guarded gates to provide limited access.
