SMDC builds more, wins more

By Amy R. Remo @amyremoINQ

SM Development Corp. (SMDC) has withstood the worst of the pandemic and is now playing a significant part in helping drive economic recovery.

For this year alone, SMDC has already launched seven new residential projects, relentlessly keeping the economic wheels turning during the challenging times. Not only are these launches a sign of confidence in the local market, they are also an encouraging development that has generated much needed jobs for the country.

But these are no ordinary projects as each has been tailored to the new preferences that have emerged during the pandemic. While SMDC projects are, as it is, already well suited to the new normal, this trailblazing developer introduced new products responsive to the needs of the times.

NEW PROJECT LAUNCHES

The seven projects SMDC launched this year include Cheerful Homes, a well connected, integrated development in Mabalacat, Pampanga, that offers loft-type homes and shophouses.

SMDC has also brought to Manila the luxury and premium of a waterfront home through the 51-story Sands Residences—its third project along Roxas Boulevard.

Also rising right beside SM City Baliwag in Bulacan is the 5.3-ha Joy Residences, a masterplanned development that will set a new standard of modern living as it offers its famed “home-beside-themall” lifestyle.

SMDC’s Twin Residences in Las Piñas City will meanwhile support your on-the-go routine with a myriad of lifestyle choices accessible from home, while in the highly progressive City of Sta. Rosa in Laguna, SMDC has Calm Residences, a suburban garden community that offers an ideal place to raise your growing family.

Ice Tower Residential-Office (RESO) is the newest concept by SMDC. Set to rise within the Mall of Asia Complex, Ice Tower RESO elevates your work-fromhome setup into an office where you can efficiently run your business from the safety and comfort of your residence.

Offering a similar concept is Gold RESO in Parañaque City. Here, you can seamlessly merge the merits of living and working in the same location without blurring the lines of work-life balance.

According to SMDC, it targets to launch three more projects before yearend.

PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS

Naturally, SMDC’s efforts did not go unnoticed. For this year alone, it scored major awards from prestigious award-giving bodies,

At the 9th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards in November, SMDC was feted 11 of the top accolades and 12 Highly Commended citations, including the highly coveted Best Developer (Philippines) Award and Best Lifestyle Developer, which it bagged for the second consecutive year. Its Gold Residences alone bagged five awards from PropertyGuru including Best Mid Rise Condo Development (Philippines); Best High End Condo Development (Metro Manila); Best Lifestyle Development; Best Landscape Architectural Design; and Best Mixed Use Development. These are on top of two Highly Commended citations under the Design category.

SMDC is poised to reap more awards by yearend from equally prestigious bodies.

Clearly, all these awards are a testament to its staunch commitment to build a sustainable home for every Filipino. And by continuing to build amid the pandemic, SMDC continues to fuel the economy, creating jobs and economic opportunities for Filipinos.
