With cooling technology inspired by Singapore's Gardens by the Bay, SM's 91st mall is a break from what SM Supermalls president Steven Tan himself once bemoaned as the group's 'cookie-cutter' malls

SM Supermalls is set to open its flagship mall in Nuvali, Laguna, on November 27, featuring a one-hectare indoor garden and marking the company's 91st mall in the Philippines.

The indoor garden will utilize innovative technology to provide a comfortable environment, allowing sunlight while managing humidity and heat, distinguishing it from traditional mall designs.
