SMDC breaks ground on new residential projects in Cavite, Laguna

SM Development Corp. (SMDC)–the residential arm of SM Prime Holdings Inc., one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated property developers–commenced construction on two new landmark developments: Turf Residences in Biñan, Laguna and Zeal Residences in General Trias, Cavite.

These developments add to the company’s portfolio of more than 183,000 residential units across 67 residential projects–20 of which are in Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro and Davao. SMDC stays true to its commitment of creating life-centered homes that cater to the ever-evolving lifestyles of modern Filipinos.

Turf Residences

Turf Residences is the ideal choice for young professionals, new families and first-time homeowners seeking a harmonious blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility that is near Metro Manila.

Situated at the crossroads of South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and Cavite-Laguna Expressway’s (CALAx) Mamplasan exit, it offers easy access to Metro Manila for work, shopping or leisure, while also serving as a gateway to weekend getaways in Laguna, Batangas and Cavite.

Commuting is easy as the property is close to the SM City Transport Hub and the Balibago Complex Terminal.

The development itself is near several malls, including SM Sta. Rosa, Waltermart and Southwoods Mall, schools like Brent International School and Colegio San Agustin, as well as the Science Park–offering a well-rounded lifestyle that combines convenience and leisure in one prime location.

Spanning 6.177 ha, this development features five four-story towers that provide a variety of studio and one-bedroom units. Upon its expected completion in January 2028, residents will enjoy beautifully landscaped gardens, vibrant recreational spaces, and modern facilities designed to foster relaxation and a sense of community amid lush surroundings.

Zeal Residences

For homebuyers seeking a blend of nature and urban living in Cavite, Zeal Residences in General Trias presents an ideal escape without compromising connectivity.

This 6.5-ha gated community offers a peaceful and secure environment within an industrial city.

Located near the Cavite Economic Zone, Zeal Residences provides residents with an accessible commute to major industrial zones, opening up economic opportunities that align with SMDC’s trademark of connecting people to progress.

Set for completion in December 2027, Zeal Residences will feature a range of amenities, including sports facilities, parks, and a commercial strip, all designed to promote an active and dynamic lifestyle tailored to the needs of young families and on-the-go individuals.

Commitment to quality, accessibility

Both Turf and Zeal Residences reflect SMDC’s commitment to providing quality and affordable housing solutions for every Filipino.

As the company expands its portfolio, it remains focused on delivering homes that meet the evolving needs of Filipino families. By offering accessible residential options in prime locations, SMDC empowers families to achieve their dreams of homeownership.

This back-to-back groundbreaking signifies a major milestone in SMDC’s growth, responding to the increasing trend of homeowners shifting toward suburban living while retaining the benefits of city life.

As SMDC continues to redefine home living, these latest developments are poised to set benchmarks for accessible, inclusive, and well-planned communities where residents can thrive now and in the years to come.
