SM City Surigao: A Game-Changing Development Coming to Northeastern Mindanao

Surigao City, get ready to welcome a new era of shopping, entertainment, and economic growth! One of the most exciting projects on the horizon for Northeastern Mindanao is the upcoming SM City Surigao—a long-anticipated addition to the prestigious SM Supermalls family. This development marks a significant milestone not only for the city but also for the entire Caraga Region.

A First for the Region

SM City Surigao will be the first-ever SM Mall in the Caraga Region, bringing world-class shopping and leisure experiences closer to home for Surigaonons and nearby provinces. As part of a bold expansion plan by SM Supermalls, this project is among seven SM malls set to rise across Mindanao, joining the confirmed constructions of SM City Tagum and SM City Iligan. Other planned sites include Koronadal, Toril, Cotabato, and Pagadian.

Why Surigao?

Surigao City’s growing urban landscape, improving infrastructure, and increasing consumer demand make it a strategic choice for this landmark investment. As a gateway to the tourist-favorite Siargao Island and a hub for commerce in northeastern Mindanao, Surigao is poised for accelerated growth—making it a perfect match for SM’s vision of regional development.

What to Expect

While exact details of SM City Surigao are still under wraps, residents can expect:

• Modern, spacious architecture blending local design elements with state-of-the-art mall features

• A wide mix of national and international retail brands, including anchor tenants like SM Store and SM Supermarket

• Dining options galore, from well-loved fast food to new café hangouts and specialty restaurants

• Entertainment hubs such as cinemas, arcades, and possibly even a sky garden or events center

• Green architecture and sustainable innovations that align with SM’s commitment to environmentally friendly design

Boosting Local Economy

The construction and eventual operation of SM City Surigao will generate thousands of job opportunities, both direct and indirect, from retail and services to logistics and maintenance. Moreover, it is expected to spur local investments, uplift nearby communities, and create a ripple effect on tourism, transportation, and real estate.

Looking Ahead

Though the official timeline for SM City Surigao’s construction and opening date has not yet been disclosed, anticipation is already building among residents. Once completed, the mall is expected to transform Surigao’s lifestyle and commercial landscape, connecting it more deeply to national economic currents and retail standards.

This upcoming development is more than just a shopping center—it’s a symbol of growth, progress, and opportunity for the region.
