[4K] SM North EDSA | THE BLOCK & NORTH TOWERS:

The Block, formerly one of the wide-open parking areas to the right of the main building, was opened on July 29, 2006. This 95,000-square-metre (1,020,000 sq ft) mall has five levels of retail shops and restaurants, five digital cinemas (originally four, which was closed for renovation works in 2020, now reopened with 3 digital + 2 Director's Club on November 24, 2021), and a 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft) SM Hypermarket on the ground level. The Block's architectural design is centered on a large oval courtyard that hosted events and products launches. This is crisscrossed by multiple bridges on several levels and is lit through large circular skylights. The Block contained most of the high-end anchor stores owned or operated by SM which includes but is not limited to H&M, Uniqlo, Forever 21, and Vikings. It is also home to the Our Lady Most Holy Rosary Chapel, a Roman Catholic chapel located at the fourth level.[17] The building has since been renovated in 2023, adding a new biophilic look, an escalator connected to SM Hypermarket, relocation and renovation of stores, a new floor layout and tiles, and a brand new Food Hall located on the 4th floor, akin to the MOA Food Hall and Mega Food Hall of SM Mall of Asia and SM Megamall, respectively. Several bridge connections integrated The Block to the existing mall, carpark areas, Sky Garden and the North Towers.[19] A panoramic building with five cascading towers named the North Towers is located in the former site of the Super Sale Club warehouse beside The Block. The shortest tower facing North Avenue will be the Park Inn by Radisson Blu Hotel North EDSA[22] while the remaining towers will be used as office spaces. The official opening of the mall component named The North Towers Mall happened on December 7, 2018. The building will be done in two phases. The first involves the North Tower Mall and the three front buildings while the second phase involves the completion of the two remaining and tallest buildings. The overall gross floor area of North Tower Mall is 33,000 m2 (360,000 sq ft). Enjoy the tour?
