SM City Cauayan is a shopping mall owned by SM Prime Holdings. The mall is located along National Highway, District II, Cauayan, Isabela, Philippines. It is the first SM Supermall in the whole Region 2, better known as Cagayan Valley. It is designed by DSGN Associates, EAurelio Landscape Design Inc. and JRP Design Inc.
In terms of historical beginnings, District II is a young Barangay compared with other barangays in the City of Cauayan with historical account that begun during the Spanish period. It was only during the second term of Ex-Mayor Tranquilino Dalupang (1956–1964) that the town proper of Cauayan was divided into "poblacion", thus creating three separate districts. Each was identified as "Poblacion Uno", "Poblacion Dos" and "Poblacion Tres", from which Barangay District II was born[3] SM City Cauayan is located at District II, Cauayan, Isabela. Before SM City Cauayan was built, the Cagayan Valley region is one of the few regions on the Philippines without SM Supermall.[4][5] Isabela, the richest province among the 5 provinces in the region[6][7] was the prospect of the SM Management as future site of the mall. On November 8, 2012, SM Investments Corp. has set a P65 billion capital expenditures for 2013 for future SM Malls including the SM in Cauayan, the expanded SM Megamall and SM Aura Premier.[8] Construction began in 2012 in the acquired lot of former Isabela Colleges, the mall was set to open in 2013 but it was moved to March 2014 and then again to May 30, 2014,[9] making it the 49th SM Supermall in the Philippines.[10][11]
