History
As early as 2008, SM Prime Holdings was planning to open SM Supercenter San Pablo (a downsized SM mall, originally) but this was shot down due to political pressures. After several attempts to build a similar establishment, SM Prime Holdings was given its go signal in July 2008 to push its construction ahead.

It was expected to be completed in August 2010, but due to strategic location and growing demands for commercial establishments in San Pablo, it was upgraded into SM City San Pablo on April 28, 2010.

The mall opened on October 1, 2010. The cinema commenced operations on December 3, 2010, ahead of the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival.

Main Building (2010)

Expansion (2016)
On October 28, 2016, the Cyberzone was completed and opened to the public. Along with it additional stores also opened including Yellow Cab, Starbucks, Oxygen and Mesa.

A new passport office of the Department of Foreign Affairs was inaugurated in October 2018 at the mall's second level.
