SM City Sta. Mesa — Local services in Quezon City

SM City Sta. Mesa, formerly known as SM Centerpoint, is a shopping mall located at Magsaysay Boulevard corner Gregorio Araneta Avenue, Barangay Doña Imelda, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1] It is the second SM Supermall, second in Quezon City, and the seventh SM branch developed and operated by SM Prime Holdings owned by Henry Sy, Sr.. It has a land area of 3 hectares and has a gross floor area of an approximate 133,327 m2 (1,435,120 sq ft).[2] The mall was opened to the public on September 28, 1990, and was the second SM Supermall to open after the then-largest SM Supermall in the country, SM City North EDSA.[3] It was initially named SM Centerpoint as it is located very near the tripoint of the City of Manila, Quezon City and what was then the municipality of San Juan. The mall featured several amusement venues, namely Quantum, Worlds of Fun and a two-storey annex building. To celebrate its 15th anniversary, the mall was rebranded SM City Sta. Mesa since it borders the Santa Mesa district of Manila despite being under the territorial jurisdiction of Barangay Doña Imelda, Quezon City.

On September 26, 2009, the basement level was flooded when Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) battered the capital. The appliance center, supermarket, food court, and other retail stores located at the basement level were heavily damaged. The basement level was temporarily closed for several days.[4]

The mall is currently under renovation, which started with the demolition of the mall's cinemas for conversion to stadium seating, construction of Director's Club cinema, and replacement of the mall's facade. A portion of the mall's former cinema wing will house the new SM Food Hall, replacing the former SM Foodcourt at the lower ground level.

One stop shop for your shopping needs. I always have a soft spot in this mall which brings me back to my childhood memories. They have renovated all floors: the food court which was located at the lower ground floor is now on the 4th floor near the refurbished cinema house, and is now called "SM Food Hall." They have a Cyber Zone for gadget needs, kids zone, new restaurants, and many more.
