On July 23, 2024, SM Prime Holdings Inc. proudly commemorated its 30th anniversary as a publicly listed company at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) in its headquarters at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig City, marking three decades of service and transformative growth in the Philippine real estate industry. Founded in 1994 by the visionary Henry Sy, SM Prime has remained steadfast in its mission to develop world-class shopping, dining, entertainment, residential, and amusement destinations throughout the country and beyond.
Reflecting on the journey
From the initial offering of four malls, SM Prime has expanded into a dominant force in Southeast Asia’s property sector. The company now has a multi-sector Philippine portfolio of 22 lifestyle cities that include 91 residential developments, 86 shopping malls, 22 office towers, 10 hotels and 8 convention centers. This robust growth trajectory has been fueled by the trust and support of its investors and the flourishing capital market provided by the PSE. Incorporated in January 1994, SM Prime has remained committed to shared prosperity. Raising approximately Php5.89B during its Initial Public Offering (IPO), SM Prime is now one of the most active stocks in the Philippine market alongside its parent company SM Investments Corporation and subsidiaries Banco De Oro Unibank Inc. (BDO) and Chinabank. Over the years, SM Prime has faced and overcome significant challenges including the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Despite these hurdles, the company has remained resilient, continuing to drive system growth.
Celebrating successes together
On its 30th anniversary year, SM Prime is opening three malls: SM City Caloocan, SM City J Mall in Cebu and SM City Laoag in Ilocos Norte. This year also marks the start of the redevelopment and expansion of SM Megamall and ongoing projects at SM Mall of Asia, SM City Cebu, SM City Iloilo, and SM City Bacolod. Additionally, SM Prime will enhance its Leisure Homes in Tagaytay and Batangas, establish new hotels with around 1,700 rooms, and continue developing mixed-use commercial buildings that combine office and retail spaces. As a leading property developer in major Philippine cities, SM Prime continues to help Filipino communities thrive. With MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) making up 63% of its commercial tenants, SM Prime developments offer significant job and business opportunities through various support programs and job fairs, fostering economic growth for local enterprises and the LGUs. This commitment to sustainable growth is a testament to the collective efforts of SM Prime’s shareholders, customers, business partners, and employees. The steadfast support of shareholders has been a driving force behind SM Prime’s achievements while the loyalty and trust of customers have inspired ongoing innovations. The collaborative spirit of business partners has been instrumental in reaching new heights and the dedication of SM Prime’s employees has been foundational to its continued success.
