MANILA, Philippines - Additional expansion of SM City North Edsa makes it the worldâ€™s third-largest shopping mall, the Philippinesâ€™ largest mall operator said.

The soft opening of The Annexâ€”which adds 90,000 square meters of gross floor area (GFA) to the flagship mallâ€”expands SM City North Edsaâ€™s GFA to 425,000 square meters, SM Prime Holdings Inc. said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).

Besides providing direct and indirect employment to 3,000 workers, The Annex also consists of six floors and a basement, 70 percent of which has already been awarded to various tenants.

â€œIts major tenants include Savemore Supermarket, Ace Hardware and an SM Cyberzone. Other mall tenants include fashion retailer Charles & Keith, watch and jewelry shop Chronos, infant store Baby & Company, and electronic shops Power Mac Center, Sony VAIO, HTC, and Belkin, among many others," the company said.

SM North Edsa is the only mall of SM Prime where the three food retail formats, Savemore Supermarket in The Annex, SM Supermarket in the Main Building and the SM Hypermarket in The Block, are all located in one complex.

In 2009, SM North EDSA also looks forward to opening the Skygarden, which offers another exciting and environmental element to the Mall complex, the company said.

SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, and SM City Cebu rank as the fourth, seventh, and eleventh-largest malls in the world, the company said.

Including SM City North Edsa, all these malls have occupancy rates of over 95 percent. - GMANews.TV

currently, SM north edsa is at #10. if expansion of SM north will make it the 3rd largest, then another SM property will slide down to # 4 which is the SM mall of asia. therefore the order will become:

1.South China Mall
2.Golden Resources Shopping Mall
3.SM City North Edsa
4.SM Mall of Asia
5.Cevahir Istanbul
6.West Edmonton Mall
7.SM Megamall
8.Berjaya Times Square
9.Beijing Mall
10.Zhengjia Plaza

that puts 4 for china and 3 for RP all in all while the the top 4 is occupied by china and RP. what made the RP malls distinct is that they are all owned by the same owner.
other fact, of the top 10, SM owns the oldest (SM North) and newest (SM mall of asia) malls.
