Cyberzone in SM Annex, the largest!

If Singapore has their Funan IT Mall and Simlim Square for all the latest gadget and technology available in the market. We may not have quite a mall that matches what Singapore has but certainly we have a new and nice Cyberzone in the newly built SM Annex in SM City North EDSA. Cyberzone is an area made famous by SM. This is where all the computer retail shops are located. This is where you will find the latest technologies and gadgets that is available in the market here in the Philippines.

You may all know that computer stores look dull and boring and also the area in which they are housed. But with this new Cyberzone, you guys are definitely wrong. They placed art, innovation and design into its designate area to give you a completely different feel. Gone were the days wherein computer stuffs are boring, now, its all about art and fashion with computer. Talk about innovativity right?

Cyberzone North EDSA was first located at the Carpark Building but then relocated in its new and present location at the SM Annex Building. It has two floors and they are claiming in their ads and billboards that this is in fact the largest Cyberzone there is. If I remember correctly and if my memory serves me right, the first ever Cyberzone area is in SM Megamall Ortigas.

3rd Largest Mall in the World!

Well just so you guys know SM Annex is finally open. Well I think they opened in time for the holiday season last December but not until recently that I get a chance to visit the newly opened and erected SM Annex, part of SM City North EDSA.

This is in my own personal opinion, this is SM's way of coping and innovating themselves because there is a huge and tough competitor just in front of them, Ayala's Trinoma. Before SM City North EDSA was the lone mall in this area until the Ayala's built an alternative choice, which is again, Trinoma. As a result, the mall goers, if not all, were halved. They have been really adapting by adding the so-called "Sky Garden" which is set to open this year.

A brief history, SM City was the first supermall of SM located in North Quezon City. It opened in November 1985. It was renamed to SM City North EDSA. At present, with the construction of the three annexes (The Carpark Bldg, The Block & The New Annex) this makes SM City North EDSA the 3rd largest mall in the world.

I am a huge fan of malls both locally and internationally. I was awed on the transformation of the new SM Annex. It is pretty and very modern. The layout and the interior for me is perfect. It gives this whole new clean, classy and elegant feel.

SM City Marikina

"The Future of Shopping Begins Now!" says SM City Marikina. SM City Marikina is owned and operated by SM Prime Holdings, Inc. It is the 31st SM Supermall here in the Philippines and the 14th SM Supermall built in Metro Manila. It opened its doors last September 05, 2008. It is located in Marcos Hi-Way, route going to Cainta, Rizal. It is near the Marikina River Banks. SM built a supermall in Marikina to give thanks to the manufacturers of the shoe industry here in the Philippines. This is where SM started its business once known as "Shoemart". Total floor area is 124,877.85 sqm.

I visited this supermall twice already. Once when we were on our way home from Avilon Zoo and the 2nd was during my work. I am always fascinated with new malls as I am very much entertained on how they built it and its architectural design. I personally find SM City Marikina beautiful. Beautiful in a sense that it doesn't look like the ordinary SM's we usually see. Its ceiling as some accents and its lighting is carefully planned too. Its main entrance facade is very nice as well.

As you stand on the center of the mall, you can clearly see its left and right. Not very SM like since almost all SM's are built big. This is smaller compared to the others base on my own opinion. It ihas a huge space for its Cyberzone area, where you can find the latest gadgets in town. The interior of the department store is amuzing as well as its supermarket.

Hurry and visit the 31st Supermall and the 14th Supermall in Metro Manila. As the motto of SM goes: "We've got it all for you!"
