Planning

After a 10-year negotiation in 2012, The SM Group pushed the plan to build a new mall in Cabanatuan City. The SM Group has been eyeing to set up SM City Cabanatuan since 2002, but the negotiations within the city government said it was reportedly due to stiff opposition from other local mall operators. SM Prime Executive Vice President Jeffrey Lim denied there was any opposition to the development in Cabanatuan. The SM Group eventually transferred the mall site to a 8.5-hectare commercial site along the National Highway in Barangay Hermogenes Concepcion, which became available in 2009, according to the company executive.''After 10-yr negotiation, SM Prime to build mall in Cabanatuan City''
