SM unveils Seaside City Cebu
By Mia A. Aznar
Monday, April 11, 2011


AS part of their 30-hectare development at the South Road Properties, SM Prime Holdings unveiled its next mall project in Cebu called the SM Seaside City Cebu.

SM Prime president Hans T. Sy told reporters that the new mall will have an “ultra-modern” design to bring in the young market and that they hope to make the mall the “shopping capital” of the south.

A glass cube lit wit LED lights will be built in front to “add visual drama.”

Sy said that they aim to include something different in the mall such as a sky garden similar to the SM North Edsa and an “iconic” viewing tower that is 100 meters tall.

He hopes the tower will be a structure that people will talk about, similar to the metallic globe that they built in front of the SM Mall of Asia (MOA).

Though it is about half the size of the SM Mall of Asia, Sy said it will be larger than the current SM City Cebu at the North Reclamation Area. He explained that the 30 hectares is also just half the size of the MOA property.

The mall will have a circular shape and four floors for over 800 rertail and food shops. They plan to include a two-storey department store, an SM Hypermart branch, five 300-seat movie theaters, an IMAX theater with over 500 seating capacity, an 18-lane bowling center, food court and an ice skating rink.

They will have a separate theater for stage plays and concerts and a covered event area at the fourth level. The covered parking lot will hold over 2,000 slots.

To showcase Cebuano works, a furniture zone and fashion boulevard will also be included in the area.

The mall is slated to open by the second quarter of 2013.

Approval

Sy said they officially began last Friday, starting with a road project.

They will also be building a church in the property, which is described as a “sleek, modern, all-white structure.”

Sy told reporters Friday that they already secured approval from the Cebu Archbishop’s office for the constuction of the church within the complex.

After the mall is completed, Sy said they will start working on a hotel and residences. He also hopes to build a hospital in the area, and possibly, a school.

He noted that if the complex becomes a prime residential area, a hospital and a school would fit well in the community.

The mall project is estimated at P4.5 billion.

Cebu is growing fast since few years already. But the anticipation to manage this growth and get the best of it is still not there. Widening the roads to get a better traffic flow? Yes, for sure that will help. But I think there are way more things that can be done before that. They should start by the beginning:

1. stop giving driving licences away. There should be a real exam to get the right to drive! This will ensure better behaviors and a better traffic understanding for the ones who drive! You dont do a uturn wherever you want, stopping the traffic on both side for example...

2. stop authorizing "on the street" shops without proper conditions. How can it be normal to open a bake shop or else without any parking space? People just stop in front and dont care about the traffic mess they cause. Same with vulcanizing shops for example.

3. Be over strict with jeepneys! They are a high cause of traffic jams. How is that normal that everybody has to go on the same pace than jeepneys who stop everywhere they want, every few meters, make several lines because they compete with one another to get passengers.

4. Create parking lots with very low fares so that people get encouraged to park properly instead of double lane.

After looking at the basics and taking care of it, it would be much easier and efficient to work on bigger measures such as road widening. But without the basics it will go back to the same problems right away. Just look at the Banilad flyover: they never thought about taking care of what is before and after it. Coming from San Carlos you will have to fight with the jeepneys swerving to get passengers and then cutting the traffic to get on the flyover. By the way, the jeepneys are THE high cause of traffic on this part of the BANTAL axis. No proper jeepney stop for San Carlos, Gulas etc. Look how San Carlos university messed up their jeepney stop! None of them can actually go on the ramp they build! It really shows how things are pourly planned.

Cebu is still very much human size and could definitely be the most enjoyable city of the Philippines. Imagine an easy traffic flow that would allow you to go from Fuente to Metro Gaisano Mandaue in just 10 minutes, because in the end, if you look at the distances it is really small. Just a few kilometers. Everybody will enjoy the city much more and for the one working far from their home it will be a great benefit.
