History and Mall Features
SM City Fairview is a part of the SM mall triplets designed by Palafox and Associates --- a concept that was employed by SM at the height of Asian Financial Crisis, of building 3 shopping malls in different areas under one design template. Thus, the mall's exterior facade and interior has similarities to SM City Bacoor and SM City Iloilo. The mall was opened in October 1997 and underwent expansions in 2004 and 2009.
The mall consists of a rectangular-shaped building and an outdoor parking. The mall features anchors like SM Department Store, SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket and SM Cinemas. It also features other anchors like National Bookstore, Watsons Personal Care Store, Our Home, Surplus Shop, SM Appliance Center and Ace Builders Center. Subsequent annex constructions and renovations were designed by Point Design and JRP Design Inc.
SM City Fairview has 4 major tenant zones. The SM Foodcourt on the Lower Ground Floor of the Main Building, SM Cyberzone at the Third Level of the Main Building and the Health and Wellness Zones. The first Health and Wellness zone is located on the Lower Ground Floor of the Annex 2. The second Health and Wellness Zone is located at the Second floor of the Main building and was launched on July 16, 2010 after the opening of the Cyberzone.
SM City Fairview offers free Wi-Fi connectivity within its premises.

Famous quotes containing the words history, mall and/or features:
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
