The Block, formerly one of the wide open parking areas to the right of the main building, was opened on July 28, 2006. This mall has five levels of retail shops and restaurants, four high-digital cinemas (which are now temporarily closed for renovation works), and a 10,000 square meter SM Hypermarket on the ground level. The Block's architectural design is centered on a large oval courtyard that hosted events and products launches. This is crisscrossed by multiple bridges on several levels and is lit through large circular skylights. The Block contained most of the high-end anchor stores owned or operated by SM which includes but is not limited to H&M, Uniqlo, Forever 21, and Vikings.
