Planning

The 2011 SM Investments Corporation's annual report initially gives hints to the upcoming SM Supermall in San Mateo which is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Rizal province. San Mateo is selected by SM Prime Holdings to build an SM City to stay ahead with competition by addressing the continued greater demand of convenience and accessibility of its customers for city neighborhoods and fast growing provincial cities.[3]

Construction

Site clearing began in May 2013 then a public consultation led by SM representatives was conducted in June 2013 for residents of Brgy. Ampid 1. Full blast construction started in December 2013 having DDT Konstract, Inc. as SM City San Mateo's general contractor wherein SM Investments Corporation is one of its clients.[4] SM City San Mateo's topping-off ceremony which marks its structural completion is held on 10 October 2014 while its tenant preview is conducted on 26 February 2015.

Location

SM City San Mateo is located northbound along a two-lane national road, Gen. Luna Avenue, in Brgy. Ampid 1, San Mateo, Rizal, which connects J.P. Rizal Road of Marikina City in Metro Manila from the south and Mabini Road of Rodriguez also in Rizal Province to the north. Its location is strategically planned such that it can cater approximately at least half a million patrons coming from more than 200,000 residents each of San Mateo and Rodriguez; northern Barangays of Marikina City nearest to San Mateo - Brgy. Nangka, Tumana, Malanday, Concepcion Uno, Parang, and Fortune with combined population of at least 100,000; and among the most populated Barangays in the eastern district of Quezon City - Brgy. Batasan Hills, parts of Bagong Silangan, Commonwealth, Holy Spirit, and Matandang Balara with a total of at least 200,000, which the latter Barangays have access coming from Commonwealth Avenue and Batasan Road connecting through Batasan-San Mateo Road (direct access of origin for Brgy. Batasan Hills) from west intersecting with Gen. Luna Avenue to the east.

A fraction of the mall site was the former site of a school named Eastern Star Academy which has then transferred to Brgy. Sta. Ana beside ICCT Colleges San Mateo Campus. The mall is near its competitors like Puregold San Mateo and BudgetLane SulitMarket which are both located along Gen. Luna Avenue.

Mall Features

SM City San Mateo is going to have its disaster resilient features which include expansion joints for mitigating earthquake damage and rainwater catchment basin for prevention of flood within its perimeter and surrounding community.[5]
