These establishments were considered landmarks because they shared a unique attribute – being “first” – with the Manila Zoo as the country’s premiere zoological park, the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex as the country’s first sports stadium and the Harrison Plaza as Manila’s first enclosed and fully air-conditioned shopping mall.
Recently, another landmark destination with a unique “first” opened along Adriatico to lure residents, shoppers, tourists, and Malate habitués to the famous street.
SM Hypermarket Adriatico, located beside Harrison Plaza, promises to bring a new face to Adriatico as it boasts of a “first” in SM Hypermarket history – a never-before-seen modern and vibrant façade designed by award-winning US-based architectural firm DSGN.
