Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex: An Exceptional Milestone in Disaster Resilience
The SM Mall of Asia (MOA) is a popular destination for unforgettable gastronomic and recreational experiences. This 67-hectare Mall of Asia Complex was deemed to be the Philippines' largest shopping mall located at Bay City, Pasay, Philippines, within the SM Central Business Park when it opened in 2006.
Did you know that the reclaimed area within Manila Bay on which MOA stands is engineered to withstand disasters caused by natural hazards? The foundation of the Mall of Asia Complex was built to be safe and secure because SM Prime Holdings, Inc. incorporates disaster resiliency measures in every project, with the MOA Complex as one of its biggest investments.
As one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated property developers, SM Prime collaborated with a team of local and international experts to ensure the feasibility of both water and land before the MOA complex was built. and once finalized, Belgium’s renowned coastal development construction company, Jan de Nul, developed it from the ground up.
Jan de Nul made sure the terrain was stable and the complex’s roads were made resistant to earthquakes and erosion, in accordance with the National Structural Code of the Philippines and approved by both the Philippine Reclamation Authority and the National Government.
