Location

The mall is located in the Reclamation Area of Bacolod City, close to multiple bus stops and a seaport.^[4] Drop-offs for most vehicles are found at all main entrances.

Mall features

SM City Bacolod mall is divided into two buildings, called the "North Wing" and the "South Wing". The two buildings are connected by two bridges that allow patrons to walk between the two structures.

Every entrance of the mall is guarded by a security guard. Some entrances have guards that carry a sensor to detect a firearm or another unwanted item inside the mall. Remaining entrances have a security guard present with a screening sensor a customer must walk through.^[5]

Both wings feature a variety of restaurants. The North Wing features most of the other storefronts, including department stores, home goods, fashion stores, and arcades. The North Wing also contains a hotel and the SMX Convention Center Bacolod.^[6] The South Wing features a movie theatre and a supermarket.^[7] The connecting walkways also contain a few fashion stores and stands focused on hair and accessories.^[8]^[9]

The mall is also generally a location to host festivities.^[10]^[11]

History and expansions

Originally, SM City Bacolod was composed of two one story wings (the North and the South). The mall size was 71,759 m² (772,410 sq ft) before any further expansions.^[12] Each wing had one major hallway that fit all its stores at the time, and escalators that lead up to the bridges that connect the entire mall.

The main food court was initially located in the South Wing before the second expansion in 2014.^[13]

The North Wing section of SM City Bacolod was the main focus of the recent renovation in 2016.^[12]

Plans from the parent company, SM Prime Holdings, have been made for a ₱2.5 billion three-story expansion plan on South wing while the existing mall structure will be extended to two stories.^[14] The expansion will accommodate 150 more store tenants, and is set to be completed in phases. Some tenants have already opened their stores.^[15]^[16]^[17]^{[needs update]}

In 2023, a government service office was opened on the third floor of the mall.^[18]

In 2024, the Bacolod city government closed down 24 stores nearby to make way for a mixed-use building being built by SM Prime Holdings. Tenants of the closed stores were offered temporary space at SM City Bacolod, however nobody accepted the offer.^[19]
