Built and Thriving: SMDC’s Established Communities Define Commitment

Avatar

SMDC has established one of the most extensive portfolios of completed residential communities in the country, with more than 100,000 residential units built and turned over. But more than just delivering at scale, the company has helped shape vibrant, lived-in neighborhoods that are now embedded in the fabric of Philippine urban life.

From Metro Manila to fast-growing regional centers, these developments are fully operational, consistently occupied, and continually gaining value.

Scale with Delivery

SMDC’s development logic is defined not only by volume, but by consistency. Its communities form a working urban network across Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Tagaytay, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Iloilo, Bacolod, CDO, and Davao—regions chosen for both population growth and infrastructure access. SMDC builds communities in a way that’s consistent, well-planned, and supported by a system that few competitors can replicate.

In the heart of Bacolod’s bustling business and lifestyle core, Smile Residences offers seamless access to international ports and key transit hubs—where city living is already in full swing.

Urban Integration as Strategy

SMDC’s access to the SM ecosystem allows its developments to serve as connected, self-sustaining communities from day one. Many are co-located with SM malls, transport terminals, groceries, and essential services—giving residents immediate access to daily needs.

The result: communities that function independently, with high occupancy, active leasing, and strong retail activity. Properties such as Shore Residences, Light Residences, and Trees Residences are no longer launch stories—they are part of the lived city.c

“What defines SMDC is not the promise to build—but the ability to activate and sustain communities over time,” says Grace Sta. Ana, Executive Vice President and Head of Core Operations. “We operate at national scale, and yet the output is local—real homes in real neighborhoods, occupied and growing.”

Jessica Sy, Vice President and Head of Design, Innovation, and Strategy, adds: “At SMDC, we design with delivery in mind. A development only becomes meaningful when people are actually living and thriving in it—when the lights are on, the shops are open, and the community begins to grow. That’s when a project becomes real.”

Red Residences: A Case of Ready Urban Living

Red Residences in Chino Roces, Makati, is one of SMDC’s latest move-in-ready developments. Strategically located near transport and creative-commercial zones, the property has already completed turnover and is home to early residents. With compact units, efficient amenities, and walkability to Makati’s business corridors, it reflects SMDC’s refined approach to high-density, livable design.

In today’s market, what matters isn’t just what’s promised—it’s what’s already built, lived in, and working. SMDC continues to deliver real homes in real communities, ready for life today.
