SM Development Corp. (SMDC) has introduced its newest mid-rise residential garden communities in progressive locations nationwide.
Cyrill Marzo, SMDC assistant vice president for Architectural Design Management and Review, said the company has launched these communities in Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Laguna and Cavite with each project delivering 1,900 to 3,000 units.
“That’s about 10,000 to 15,000 units in the market every year,” Marzo said, adding more projects will be launched soon.
According to Marzo, the concept of MRB communities of SMDC revolves around green living and sustainability while helping address the housing backlog.
She said homes in these communities are at affordable price points and flexible payment terms aligned with the market’s financial capacity.
SMDC also made these are worthy investment opportunities.
The MRBs so far launched are strategically located in low-density areas where major businesses and government infrastructure projects are now mushrooming – thus giving residents access not just to a wide array of economic opportunities, but to holistic lifestyle choices as well.
This is to meet the ever-changing needs of Filipino home buyers, especially with the pandemic accentuating the importance of health and wellness-related location features and well-being amenities.
SMDC’s mid-rise residential garden communities revolve around green living and sustainability. The integration of commercial spaces, together with walkability within and beyond these developments, ensure that investors are granted a safe, secure, convenient, and comfortable modern lifestyle.
True to the SMDC trademark of democratizing homeownership and making the luxurious affordable, these mid-rise residential garden communities are at very attainable price points – making them the perfect home for young individuals and start-up families.
SMDC’s multi-pronged approach to sustainability – combining environmental, social, and economic aspects – serves as the bedrock for these mid-rise residential garden developments’ claim as lifetime investments.
For instance, environmental sustainability is practised in the installation of LED lights that enable lower power consumption, and the abundance of windows for natural light and ventilation.
Economic sustainability, on the other hand, is demonstrated through programs such as ‘The Good Guys Weekend Market’ that encourages stakeholders’ entrepreneurial spirit, and ‘The Good Guys Job Market’ that opens up employment opportunities for them. In addition, SMDC’s end-to-end property management and leasing services ensure that their developments continue to appreciate in value, be it through capital appreciation or rental income.
Finally, social sustainability is exhibited through living spaces and community events that encourage social interaction among the residents.
