SM Prime Holdings bought 10 hectares out of the 40 hectare property of Lanang Golf and Country Club from Dakudao and sons on 2008 for the mall.[6][7] SM Prime Holdings saw potential in the northern sections of the city where upscale subdivisions are located.[8] The mall was to be an SM City mall, a shopping mall with SM Store, SM Supermarket or SM Hypermarket and SM Cinemas together with retail shops< and it was scheduled to open in 2011.[9] It was planned that the mall would be bigger than SM City Davao, the first SM Mall in Mindanao.[10] This original plan would have generated over 1,000 jobs.[11][12] The mall was unofficially dubbed SM North Davao. Officers of SM Prime Holdings requested anonymity because they could not discuss project details. The mall project was planned to start in January 2010.[13][14] The start was moved to 2011, together with SM City General Santos, was scheduled to open in late 2012.[15][16]
