On January 16, 2026, a familiar name in Filipino homebuilding takes a decisive step forward. At SM City Baliwag, ACE Builders unveils its largest store in Asia—an expansive, 6,000-square-meter space designed to change how Bulacan builds, renovates, and improves its homes.

This new landmark is more than a bigger branch. It reflects how Filipino households and professionals approach their spaces today: practical, hands-on, and always evolving. From families planning their first home upgrade to contractors managing large construction projects, the Baliwag store was designed to respond to real needs, not just trends.

Walking into ACE Builders Baliwag feels less like entering a traditional hardware store and more like stepping into a complete project hub. The scale allows customers to move seamlessly from idea to execution. Flooring options sit alongside wall cladding solutions.

Paint selections are matched with the right tools and accessories. Plumbing, electrical, lawn and garden items, home hardware, appliances, automotive products, and even pet care essentials are organized to make decision-making easier and more intuitive.

This “all in one place” approach matters, especially in growing provincial hubs like Bulacan, where development is constant and time is valuable. Instead of traveling between multiple suppliers, customers can now plan, source, and refine their projects under one roof—with knowledgeable staff ready to guide both beginners and seasoned professionals.

The Baliwag opening also strengthens ACE’s broader footprint. It joins other large-format ACE Builders locations in North EDSA, Fairview, and Pampanga, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to accessibility beyond Metro Manila.

Behind this expansion is the long-standing legacy of ACE Hardware Philippines, which began with a single store in 1997 and has since grown to hundreds of branches nationwide. The ACE Builders format was created to serve bigger ambitions—projects that require deeper assortments and more specialized solutions.

When doors open on January 16, shoppers can expect opening-day promos and exclusive deals, but the real value lies in what comes after. ACE Builders SM Baliwag is positioned to become a daily resource—a place where ideas take shape, plans become possible, and communities build better living spaces together.

In Baliwag, building bigger now also means building smarter, closer, and more confidently than ever before.
