SM City Iligan

SM City Iligan is currently under construction along Bonifacio Avenue, corner Isabel Romero Street in Brgy. Sto. Rosario, Iligan City, Lanao del Norte. The property is scheduled to open in late 2026 or the first quarter of 2027, becoming SM Prime’s first mall in Iligan City and the entire Lanao del Norte province. The investment represents one of the company’s ongoing 2026 expansion projects under its strategy of opening one new flagship mall annually through 2030. Construction began in mid-2025 with pile driving operations, with the three-level commercial mall plus roof deck rising on a 53,086-square-meter lot in Iligan’s Sto. Rosario commercial district.

The completed property will have a total gross floor area of approximately 102,482 square meters, including parking facilities and open spaces, with retail floors covering essential everyday categories plus leisure and entertainment options. Anchor tenants are expected to include The SM Store, SM Supermarket, SM Cinema, and Ace Hardware, with additional category specialists and a food hall serving the Iligan workforce and the surrounding Lanao del Norte municipalities. The site location places the mall along Iligan’s principal north-south commercial corridor, easily accessible from the city’s residential districts and from the National Highway that connects Iligan to Cagayan de Oro and the broader Northern Mindanao region.

SM City Iligan will serve a catchment that includes Iligan, the surrounding Lanao del Norte municipalities, and the eastern Lanao del Sur towns. Approximately 700,000 residents live within metropolitan Iligan, with the broader regional catchment extending across the Iligan Bay coast and the Mt. Agad-Agad watershed area. The opening will fill a long-standing modern retail capacity gap in northwestern Mindanao between Cagayan de Oro and Pagadian City. The investment of approximately ₱1.35 billion makes it one of SM Prime’s mid-size 2026 mall openings.
