2. SM Tianjin
Available GLA: 565,000 square meters
Location: Tianjin, China
SM Tianjin is the second biggest shopping mall by gross leasable area in the entire world, and it is also the second largest shopping mall in China. That’s a bit of a spoiler because now you can tell that the biggest shopping mall in the whole world has to be from China as well. Even though SM Tianjin is located in China, it is owned by the SM Prime Holdings an organization out of the Philippines.
