Expansion Wing[edit]
SM City Santa Rosa's Expansion Wing is a 51,000 m2 (550,000 sq ft) expansion building that added up to the mall complex's area, totaling to 137,463 m2 (1,479,640 sq ft).

Mall complex developments[edit]
Currently undergoing expansion, the SM City Santa Rosa mall complex is one of integrated mixed-used developments known as SM Estates or SM Lifestyle Cities.[10]
The Core[edit]
The Core is a three-tower BPO office building with a leasable area of approximately 30,000 m2 (320,000 sq ft), of which majority is allotted solely to BPO companies.[11] Each tower has four storeys. One tower is complete, while two other towers are currently under construction.[12] It also contains a four-level parking space and is interconnected to the mall via a footbridge with the Expansion Wing.
