Carmona is stepping into the spotlight in Southern Luzon’s booming scene, and the topping-off of the New Carmona City Hall is a bold sign of the city’s glow-up into a full-fledged component city, blending smart growth, better governance and real-life vibes for its people.

The City Government of Carmona teamed up with SM Prime Holdings to celebrate this huge step forward in the 200-hectare SM Carmona Central.

Since becoming an official component city in July 2023, Carmona has emerged as one of Cavite’s hottest risers — clocking in as the province’s sixth-richest local government unit (LGU) in 2024 by total assets. This sleek new City Hall ramps up services for a swelling population and cements its spot as an up-and-coming economic powerhouse.

“This City Hall represents accessibility, transparency and modern governance,” said Carmona City Mayor Honorable Dahlia Loyola. “It reflects the direction Carmona is taking — forward, structured and ready for the future.

Tucked right into SM Carmona Central, it anchors a vibrant mixed-use hub where government, shopping, easy commutes and future homes all come together seamlessly.

Building with structure and purpose

Carmona is on a roll, and this City Hall is built to match — tackling the need for stronger local operations with style and smarts.

It’s a prime example of public-private teamwork done right, proving how a shared vision turns into buildings that boost services and spark economic growth. On a bigger scale, it highlights Carmona’s rise as Southern Luzon’s next big thing.

That energy ties directly into SM Carmona Central, SM Prime’s master-planned township along the key corridor from Metro Manila to CALABARZON — putting Carmona on the radar as a regional hotspot.

“At SM Prime, we believe nation-building begins with long-term investment in places with strategic potential,” said Jessel Kabigting, senior vice president and head of Estate Management and Development of SM Prime. “The New Carmona City Hall ensures that SM Carmona Central grows with structure and purpose, with governance at its center.”

The Cavite governing gem is a massive mixed-use playground with an upcoming SM Mall near the SLEX interchange, a National University campus, a Bus Rapid Transit line for smooth commutes, plus shops, schools and abundant green spaces.

When city services rise hand-in-hand with stores and schools, you get a neighborhood where jobs, learning and everyday essentials are all right there — building stronger communities and buzzing local economies.

Growth engine in the south

Carmona is already packed with heavy-hitters like Carmona Industrial Estate and Southwoods Industrial Park. Add top-notch roads and smart planning via SM Carmona Central, and it becomes the perfect next chapter in South Luzon’s story.
