The ‘Good Life’ starts in every SMDC community
At the heart of its story is a simple, powerful truth: A good home is the foundation of a good life.
With this as its guiding principle, SM Development Corp. (SMDC) has spent the last two decades continuously reimagining what it means to live well. Its medium-rise buildings (MRB) for example, address the aspirations of Filipinos, offering residences that strike a balance between affordability and lifestyle upgrades. Each project is thoughtfully planned and strategically located.
Home of the good guys
SMDC, rightfully known as the “Home of the Good Guys” has since served as gateways to brighter futures and vibrant communities.
“I wanted to create a future where a Filipino family could have a beautiful home without being weighed down by financial stress. From day one, that drive to uplift lives, to create places that feel like true homes, has kept us going,” said SMDC chair Henry Sy Jr.
Across the country, SMDC’s MRBs have been catering to various lifestyles, offering prime locations, resort-style amenities, and integrated retail spaces that redefine everyday living.
Whether in thriving urban hubs or emerging provinces, these projects bring residents closer to opportunities, education, and recreation.
At the same time, SMDC’s MRBs also present smart investment opportunities.
Essentially, SMDC ensures that its communities remain vibrant and valuable, making them ideal for both end-users and investors.
Exemplifying these values are Bloom Residences, Charm Residences, Joy Residences, Vail Residences, and Parkville, each of which highlights
SMDC’s commitment to enhancing the lives of its residents.

With the Philippine economy poised for significant growth in the coming decades, SMDC’s MRBs are set to play an even bigger role in shaping communities that are inclusive, sustainable, and ready to meet the future head on.
“I hope our legacy will be felt in the lives of people who say, ‘This is where I started. This is where I found stability and belonging.’ I want SMDC to be remembered not just for the homes we built but for the communities we created, where Filipinos could thrive, connect, and build their futures,” Sy concluded.
