History and Location
Constructed in a 25,000 m2 (270,000 sq ft) lot in 1999 that was formerly where the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) building once stood, SM City Manila transformed the old avenue district into a ultimate shopping destination in the city. One of the largest malls in the city, it proved to be a one-stop destination for shoppers living nearby and mostly caters the youth because of its proximity to several campuses like Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU), Adamson University, Colegio de San Juan de Letran, MAPUA Institute of Technology, Philippine Normal University (PNU), Technological University of the Philippines (TUP), Santa Isabel College, Pamantasan Ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) and many others.
