SM Prime Holdings Inc. is investing more than P300 million to fund transport infrastructure projects designed to improve commuter mobility across the Greater Manila Area.
In partnership with various government agencies, the company is building a direct pedestrian link between the LRT-2 Antipolo Station and SM City Masinag. The project will provide weather-protected access between the station and the mall, reducing transfer times and eliminating the need for street-level crossings.
“Urban mobility is central to national development. By working with government, we are able to improve access points that affect commuters every day,” SM Prime president Jeffrey Lim said in a statement Wednesday.
Lim noted that the partnership began during the pandemic when improving public transport access became a priority.
The project will include ramps, elevators, lighting and closed-circuit television systems to enhance accessibility and safety. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and is expected to be completed within six months under a public-private partnership with the Light Rail Transit Authority.
In March 2025, SM Prime also opened the SM North EDSA Busway Concourse, featuring covered walkways, escalators and direct access to the busway station. A similar concourse model is under construction at SM Megamall, with completion targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
The property firm has also partnered with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to provide real-time traffic updates through digital directories in select malls. The system uses live feeds from the agency’s AI Traffic Management System to help commuters plan their routes more efficiently.
