The mall is the centerpiece project of SM Prime at the SM Central Business Park, where five one-story buildings serve as the company's corporate offices, while the sixth building is being occupied by TeleTech Holdings, Inc. as their flagship site in the country.

The SM Mall of Asia's design team includes Arquitectonica as the project's design architect and Architect Robert Carag Ong, Architect of Record, and GHT Services as the complex's project managers. SM tapped two separate construction firms for the construction of the mall: Hilmarc's Construction Corp. for the South Parking Building, Main Mall, and Entertainment Mall; and Monolith Construction Development Corp. for the North Parking Building.{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}} The mall would have opened before Christmas Day of 2005 but had been delayed due to hitches in the delivery of construction materials. Frequent rains in the last quarter of 2005 also delayed the turnover of mall space to tenants. Due to these circumstances, SM Prime decided to move the opening date to March 3, 2006.{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}}

On February 27, 2006, the local newspaper Manila Standard Today reported that a team of Pasay City engineers found huge cracks underneath the structure, which was causing the structure to vibrate.{{cite news|last=Caber|first=Michael|title=Cracks endanger Pasay's Mall of Asia|work=Metro Stories|publisher =Manila Standard Today|date=February 27, 2006|url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=police03_feb27_2006|access-date=February 15, 2007}} When questioned about the inspection, the Pasay City Engineering Department denied making any statement regarding defects in the Mall of Asia. Engineer Edwin Javaluyas, Pasay City Engineering Officer, in his letter to SM Prime Holdings Inc., said he never stated that the city hall's engineering department inspected the Mall of Asia on February 23, 2006.{{cite news|last=Caber|first=Michael|title=Engineer denies threat to Mall of Asia|work=Metro Stories|publisher=Manila Standard Today|date=February 28, 2006|url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=police03_feb28_2006|access-date=February 15, 2007}}

SM Prime, however, decided to move the opening to May 21 of that year. Jeffrey Lim, corporate information officer of SM Prime, emphasized that a rescheduling of the mall's opening was made to give the company an opportunity to allow more tenants to open shops and denied that the change was due to structural defects."{{cite web|title=Philippines' SM Prime delays Mall of Asia opening to May|work=Yahoo!

The mall was officially inaugurated by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with a special screening of Everest at the San Miguel Coca-Cola IMAX Theater. The movie was shown three days after Philippine triathlete Leo Oracion reached the summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain.{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/everest/20060603_blogcommunity.htm|title=GMANews.tv Everest|access-date=October 8, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015112239/http://www.gmanews.tv/everest/20060603_blogcommunity.htm|archive-date=October 15, 2007}}

The Mall of Asia consists of four buildings interconnected by walkways and elevated pathways: the Main Mall, the Entertainment Mall, and the North and South Wing Parking Buildings.

The Main Mall includes numerous shopping and dining establishments and the food court. The Entertainment Mall is a two-story complex, most of which is open-air, and also features some shopping and dining businesses. The Entertainment Mall also hosts the Music Hall, an events hall (formerly open-air, now airconditioned) facing Manila Bay. As of late 2021, majority of the area has been renovated with addition of air-conditioning. Due to the mall's size, all buildings have concierge desks, assisting local information within the area.{{cite news | last =Vasquez | first =Dinna Chan | title =MALL OF ASIA: Raising the ante on shopping | work =Life & Entertainment stories | publisher =Manila Standard Today | date =2006-05-19 | url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=goodLife01_may19_2006 | access-date = 2007-02-15 }}

The mall's 5,000 parking spaces are divided across two, six-story parking buildings conveniently designated the North and South Parking Buildings, which have been covered with a solar rooftop. The South Parking Building houses the mall's official The SM Store, while the mall's supermarket, the SM Hypermarket is located at the North Parking Building. Since 2016, these parking buildings are equipped with elevators and escalators, which allow fast access to parking levels.

Since its opening in 2006, visitors to the mall have been welcomed by large steel framed globe on a roundabout at the southern tip of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), known as the MoA Globe. In 2009, the globe was turned into Globamaze, an LED display.{{cite web|url=http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120908044339/http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=530034&publicationSubCategoryId=78|title=SM Mall of Asia lights up Globamaze - The Philippine Star » Business Features » Business As Usual| website=The Philippine STAR |archive-date=September 8, 2012|access-date=December 9, 2009|url-status=live}}

The mall includes branches of all of the standard anchor stores found in most of the SM Supermalls. The first-ever branch of Taste Asia, one of the SM Supermalls' food court brands, is located right outside the mall's supermarket, the sprawling SM Hypermarket.{{cite news | last =Vasquez | first =Dinna Chan | title =Shop and dine at Mall of Asia's Hypermart | work =Life & Entertainment stories | publisher =Manila Standard Today | date =2006-06-30 | url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=goodLife01_june30_2006 | access-date = 2007-02-15 }} Opened on September 27, 2024, the first-ever branch of Disney Store in Southeast Asia is located in Level 1, North Main Mall.{{cite news |last1=Pascual |first1=Pauline |title=DISNEY STORE IS FINALLY HERE AT MALL OF ASIA|url=https://tribune.net.ph/2024/09/26/disney-store-is-finally-here-at-mall-of-asia |accessdate=September 28, 2024 |work= Daily Tribune (Philippines)|date=September 26, 2024}}

The mall's open-air Music Hall directly facing Manila Bay has also held numerous events, contests, and concerts since the mall's opening in 2006.{{cite news | last =Red| first =Isah V.| title =QTV's music video block's first anniversary bash | work =Life & Entertainment stories | publisher =Manila Standard Today | date =2006-12-04 | url=http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=goodLife2_dec4_2006 | access-date = 2007-02-15 }}

The mall also provides office space. Dell International Services, a subsidiary of Dell, Inc. once occupied a {{convert|13,470|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} area at the second floor of the North Parking Building of the mall. Eventually, in 2015, Teleperformance took over that space until 2019, as the company moved its operations to the MOA Annex Building. Currently, the site has been replaced by the mall anchor Cyberzone for IT-related shops, one of the biggest Cyberzones in the country since the opening of SM North EDSA.

Opened on February 12, 2020, the new Food Hall is located in the 3rd Level, across SM Skating Rink at the main mall. Replacing the former SM Food Court at the second floor, it features budget to upscale dining choices.

A replacement of SM Bowling Center, the flagship branch of SM Game Park is located on a {{convert|1947|sqm|sp=us|adj=on}} space at the 3rd Level of the South Entertainment Mall. It was opened in November 2023, after delays.
