SM Lanang Premier is finally open, SM’s 46th mall and first and biggest SM mall in Mindanao, with the promise of bringing so much more to Durianburg. I am not all for spoilers but I believe I should share some of the things that I love about this world-class mall.
Exciting architecture
SM Lanang Premiere may look like a boring box from afar but look closer and you can see details and lines that are like edges of origami (no intruding billboards here). Add in a colorful facade at the back and a record-making 122 meter long dancing fountain and you have a unique shopping destination.
Beautiful stores
SM is going all out here by bringing their premium brands into SM Lanang Premier. I had been waiting for years for SM to open Our Home in Davao, I am happy that they finally did. You can check out their wide furniture and interior design choices to fill up your living room, dining room, and bedroom.
Fabulous Filipiñana items from exquisite barons to souvenir shirts and trinkets can be found at the first Kultura store in Mindanao. I love the Davao themed items and makes me feel pround of being a Dabawenyo.
Tech heads can rejoice in a huge Cyberzone that is the address of every tech store in the mall.
Meetings beyond the ordinary
With Davao growing as a meetings and financial hub. The SM Lanang’s SMX Convention Center is the biggest convention center on the island of Mindanao. I believe this is just in time too for Davao’s hosting of M.I.C.E. and hopefully the Philippine Ad Congress in the near future.
There are still other quirks in this gem of a mall, so look out for part two soon.
