SM Store - North EDSA

SM North EDSA was constructed during a political crisis when interest rates rose to as high as 45% on 40 acres (16 ha) of marshland in a relatively distant area. The Government Service Insurance System once held the property, which was meant to accommodate homes for public school teachers. On November 8, 1985, the mall officially opened. The first mall constructed by SM Prime Holdings Inc. has SM’s fifth department store and its first supermarket as its initial tenants. Its gross floor space at the time was 23 square meters (250 sq ft)
