SM City Cabanatuan is a shopping mall owned by SM Prime Holdings with a gross floor area of {{convert|154,020|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}. It is the second SM Supermall in Cabanatuan City and Nueva Ecija after the acquisition of Megacenter by SM Supermalls. It is located along Brgy. Hermogenes Concepcion, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.

It is the second largest SM mall in Central Luzon based on total retail floor area, after SM City Pampanga and behind SM City Clark. When it opened in 2015, it was the largest mall in North Luzon outside of Metro Manila, until being recently dethroned due to the expansion of SM City Baguio and SM City Clark.

Location

SM City Cabanatuan is located along Maharlika Highway (also known as Pan-Philippine Highway), Barangay Hermogenes Concepcion, Cabanatuan. The mall is also adjacent to a portion of the 12.35-kilometer Emilio Vergara Highway.

Planning

After a 10-year negotiation in 2012, The SM Group pushed the plan to build a new mall in Cabanatuan. The SM Group has been eyeing to set up SM City Cabanatuan since 2002, but the negotiations within the city government said it was reportedly due to stiff opposition from other local mall operators. SM Prime Executive Vice President Jeffrey Lim denied there was any opposition to the development in Cabanatuan. The SM Group eventually transferred the mall site to a 8.5-hectare commercial site along the National Highway in Barangay Hermogenes Concepcion, which became available in 2009, according to the company executive.[http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/264295/economy/companies/after-10-yr-negotiation-sm-prime-to-build-mall-in-cabanatuan-city After 10-yr negotiation, SM Prime to build mall in Cabanatuan City]; "GMA Network;" By: M J Cayabyab; retrieved 08-04-2012

The construction of SM City Cabanatuan was planned to begin in 2012, but it only commenced around 2013. The mall then finally opened to the public on October 9, 2015.
