The leading developer teams up with the Korean superstar for its “Step into Luxury” campaign

Leading property developer SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is launching its newest advertising campaign, which has a superstar endorser, Korean actor Lee Min Ho.

“I’m honored to be part of the SMDC family. It’s very important for a person to have a space to call home,” Lee Min Ho shared. He added that being able to influence home buyers in owning their home is something he is grateful for.

Lee Min Ho is the lead actor of the Korean drama series “Boys Over Flowers,” “City Hunter,” “The Heirs,” “The Legend of the Blue Sea,” “The King: Eternal Monarch,” and “Pachinko,” which established him as a household name worldwide, including the Philippines.

Lee Min Ho has been voted as most favorite actor by the 2022 Overseas Hallyu Report, an international survey conducted in 18 countries by the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korean Foundation for International Culture Exchange (KOFICE). Lee Min Ho, who has topped the list for five consecutive years since 2018, proved that he is an unwavering representative in Korea.

SMDC Vice President for Marketing Aye Luna said, “We are certainly excited to be working with Mr. Lee Min Ho for this campaign. Not only does he embody true luxury and sophistication, he is also a “Good Guy” in every sense of the word. He cares about his family and fans, and positively contributes to society through his donation platform. This makes him the perfect brand ambassador of SMDC.”

Be In the Know: Top 3 things that QC & Pasig have in common

Be In the Know: Top 3 things that QC & Pasig have in common

‘The Bridge’ connecting QC and Pasig, as seen on Le Pont Residences’ infinity pool

These two cities are more connected than you think! 

Quezon City and Pasig have never been more connected than ever, but the two megacities are bound to be even closer in the future. 

Recent developments have been made that further linked Quezon City and Pasig. In 2019, a 200-meter bridge over the Marikina River was opened to the public. In December 2022, the main boulevard of the Bridgetowne Destination Estate, with entrances from both C5 and Amang Rodriguez roads, became accessible to the public. Moreover, in June 2023, Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) is set to launch a state-of-the-art infrastructure called ‘The Bridge,’ designed by the late National Artist for Architecture Francisco Mañosa. 

But beyond the structural links that tie them together, Quezon City and Pasig have more in common that strengthens their harmonious connection.

#1. QC & Pasig house the Bridgetowne Destination Estate 

Quezon City and Pasig houses RLC’s 31-hectare mixed-used development Bridgetowne Destination Estate. The Quezon City portion is envisioned to be the business center side of the estate as it already consists of multiple BPOs and will soon welcome a world-class shopping center and a five-star hotel. Meanwhile, the Pasig side of Bridgetowne is seen to host a wide range of residential condominium towers including the recently launched Le Pont Residences. 

Le Pont Residences is RLC Residences’ first premium high-rise property consisting of elegant bi-level penthouse units and a selection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units equipped with smart home features and loggias. The property will also feature multi-level, first class amenities such as a hyper-sized infinity pool, private theater, and an indoor cycling room and fitness gym, making the property a great addition to the estate and the well-distinguished city it belongs to. 

#2. QC & Pasig are both recognized as ‘highly urbanized cities’

Quezon City and Pasig are both recognized at the 2022 Rankings of Highly Urbanized Cities by the Regional Competitiveness Committee. The assessment is based on the following indicators: economic dynamism, government efficiency, infrastructure, innovation, and resiliency. 

The outstanding credentials of these two cities make for an ideal real estate investment. Accessible to both Quezon City and Pasig, the pre-selling units of Le Pont Residences can be the opportunity that Filipino investors are looking for. The property is strategically located near commercial areas, hospitals, and prominent schools like the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, and La Salle Greenhills. 

#3. QC & Pasig are en-route to becoming sustainable cities 

Although known as highly urbanized cities, QC and Pasig are also conscious of their impact on the environment. Quezon City prides itself on its diligent Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Department that leads the #QCTrashToCashback project, one of the city’s many initiatives to achieve a zero waste lifestyle. 

On the other hand, Pasig City is also proud to be known as ‘the green city’ because of its various environment-friendly initiatives to protect its waterways and greeneries. Just late last year, the local government unit of Pasig implemented a new policy direction to preserve the 6.2-hectare Maybunga Rainforest Park. Complementing the beauty of Pasig’s sustainability efforts, Le Pont Residences also boasts of its lush landscaped areas along the jogging trail where residents can conveniently bask in nature anytime of the day. 

“Quezon City and Pasig are already distinguished cities in the metro. But we at RLC Residences are confident that more exciting opportunities await these cities especially as more developments come in Bridgetowne,’ said RLC Residences Marketing Head Karen Cesario. “This is also the reason why we’re excited for the future homeowners of Le Pont Residences. They get to experience the elevated lifestyle within and outside the property.”

Millennials and Gen Z dominate buying market in real estate

Millennials and Gen Z dominate buying market in real estate

The real estate property sector is gaining a strong and stable market among the yuppies and younger customers in the past three years.

This was further proven during the Property Expo 2022 held recently at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Glorietta Mall, Makati, organized by Carousell, the leading classified ads platform in Greater Asia. According to Djon Nacario, Carousell Philippines’ general manager, the property category remains to be the platform’s top search, of which 65 percent are millennials or those aged between 23 to 38, and 20 percent are Gen Zs or anyone born in 1997 onward.

Nacario explains that this purchasing power shift can be owed to the generations’ life stage: “The millennials are already moving up in their careers and becoming more affluent that’s why they are more bullish when it comes to purchasing properties or upgrading their places.” He also added that they are moving to a different life stage where some of them are getting married or building a family.

Meanwhile, he’s also seeing an emerging trend where Gen Zs will be the next “property intenders” or those looking to buy property in the next three years. “Gen Z are now entering the workforce and becoming viable customers and investors when it comes to property.”

“In the next three years, we are still expecting 43 percent of our users, which are millennials, to purchase a property but the more significant change is that 40 percent are Gen Z,” he further explained. 

Aside from the millennials and Gen Zs, Carousell users very relevant to the property category include parents and students who are looking for places near schools with face-to-face classes now in full swing, the deal hunters, the working class with high spending capabilities, and families with kids.

While Shine Resurreccion, Carousell Philippines’ head of autos and property, admits that the real property sector took a hit during the pandemic, she anticipates swift recovery in no time. “While there was contraction in sales during the pandemic, three years after or at this point in time, we’re already seeing recovery. So based on Carousell data, there is a 40 percent increase in house and lot and more than 30 percent in condominium purchases.”

The Carousell Property Expo, touted as the biggest property event in the country, was held from November 7 to 18, 2022 with a hybrid set-up of online and on-ground activities.

From November 7 to 16, 2022, The Property Expo 2022 held a virtual webinar series discussing everything participants needed to know about buying property to unlock their #HomeGoals. 

The webinar series featured renowned speakers consisting of entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and industry professionals including the country’s leading real estate broker David Lee Chiu, CEO of Leechiu Property Consultants Inc.; The Property Forum’s Managing Director, Noli Alleje; President and CEO of Conveyance Realty Services Inc., Hardy Lipana, and chief operations officer of Human Shelter Realty Corp., Chris Suarez

Meanwhile, the onsite expo held from November 16 to 18, 2022 gathered property agents and developers and participants where they were able to engage in educational and networking sessions.

SMDC Shore Residences: A confluence between the paradise of your dreams and the most lucrative property in your portfolio

SMDC Shore Residences: A confluence between the paradise of your dreams and the most lucrative property in your portfolio

Picture a coastal-inspired home that’s more akin to a five-star vacation resort than your regular concrete structure — a home where you are welcomed everyday with a grand lobby, lush greeneries, and multiple turquoise-watered swimming pools; a home where your sights are filled with the blues of a majestic bay, your ears with the sounds of calm waves, and your heart with anticipation for a vibrant food, commerce, and entertainment hub. 

Whatever scene you imagined is just a small taste of what life is like at the Shore Residences Complex, a master-planned mega district by SM Development Corporation (SMDC) composed of three residential developments.

Shore Residences combines resort-style living with all the conveniences and luxuries an address within the Mall of Asia (MOA) complex could offer. Dive a little deeper and find out why a lifestyle upgrade or an investment in this prime location is an opportunity you just cannot miss.

Welcome to paradise

A life in Shore Residences is a high life, primarily because it’s a life of endless summers. The grand lobby, for instance, embodies a tropical design that almost literally transports you to the seaside.

The vast entrance hall is defined by seashell white marble flooring, whimsical curves and textures, and accents of colors of the ocean. With cabana-like sofas, premium woven furniture, and coastal embellishments, one may easily mistake Shore Residences’ lobby as the lobby of a five-star resort.

Wrapping up your everyday vacations, of course, are the hotel-like services in the complex. Like any other SMDC development, Shore Residences boasts of hotel-like services, geared towards curating an affluent lifestyle for residents. The cordial welcome of the doorman, the tireless hospitality of the front desk staff, and the well-appointed interiors at Shore Residences all come together to ensure you come home to a paradise you can call your own.

Where luxury lives

Luxury lives in every corner at Shore Residences with a plethora of in-water and out-of-water activities offered in the complex.

From charming, wharf-inspired decks, to riverfront lounge pools, to palm tree courtyards and beach entry pools that come with a feature island— Shore Residences is the pinnacle of “resort-inspired” SMDC developments. Residents of all ages can enjoy the several aquatic activities in the complex that not only serve as bonding opportunities for the family, but are also scientifically-proven as beneficial to one’s mental health.

If you don’t fancy water-based drills, there are plenty of scenic areas for you to get your endorphins fix around the mega district. Beautifully-landscaped gardens abound the complex that give you vast, open spaces to walk, run, or meditate. Shore Residences also has fully-equipped indoor gyms, jogging trails, and a basketball court where you could tick off your fitness goals one by one.

When it comes to social activities, on the other hand, you and your loved ones could gather and celebrate the most momentous occasions in the opulent function rooms in the development, with panoramic views of the resort-inspired amenities as your backdrop.

An idyllic time for maximum returns

As the country recovers from the global health crisis, several real estate experts see encouraging forecasts in the residential property sector. This shared sentiment is a clear sign that there might not be a better time to enter the market than today.

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) Philippines, for one, sees increasing demand from professionals looking for homes closer to places of work. This bodes well for investors of Shore Residences, should they capitalize on the steady rental market that many business hubs in the MOA Complex help provide. 

Santos Knight Frank, on the other hand, see new infrastructure developments as the key to success when it comes to auspicious returns in real estate investment. 

A testament to this is a research that discusses how from the period of 2008 to 2019, developments surrounding the MOA Complex have increased in value four times in just ten years’ time. Imagine what a decade holds for you if you invest in Shore Residences now?

Whether you’re trying to find a home where your kids can grow with life’s best comforts, or you’re in need of a vacation space that’s not too far from the hustle and bustle of the city, or you’re looking for a sound investment opportunity that will yield returns for years to come, there’s a little bit of something for everyone in Shore Residences.

Why Cebu properties are worthy investment

Why Cebu properties are worthy investment

Known as the “Queen City of the South,” Cebu has long been one of the hotspots for tourism and businesses in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Not only can people find lucrative jobs and business opportunities with local and international companies found here, but the city also houses a modern andworld-class airport that makes it very accessible. While it is already a major hub, the growth potential of Cebu is still very limitless.

If you are looking for real estate that’s bound to garner market value, investing in Cebu should be at the top of your list. 

Here are some reasons why it makes sense:

Generally cheaper real estate. Business districts in Cebu are almost comparable to Metro Manila. The only difference is that real estate properties in Cebu cost a little less than the pricing in Metro Manila. For retirees looking to downsize or move to a new location; or for millennials who want to have their first real estate investment, Cebu has the best and affordable choices for you.

High investment growth. Cebu is at its golden stage of infrastructure due to the push of the government’s “Build, Build, Build” program. Cebu is also well-equipped with everything for urban living and nature while meeting the residents’ lifestyle choices and needs. Together with other developments in Cebu, it creates more opportunities for investment growth. 

Ideal home for offices. Cebu’s strategic location benefits the manufacturing and information technology-business process management (IT-BPM) industries. Complementing the developments in infrastructure and nature, Cebu is an ideal location for offices. Based on the results of Tholons’ 2021 survey, Cebu was ranked 52nd as the most attractive outsourcing site in the world. It remains as the preferred business destination due to its competitiveness in terms of manpower, and city functionality. Not only that, doing business in Cebu offers a lower capital expenditure but with comparable quality to Manila. 

Abundance of natural attractions. Cebu has the potential to offer both business and leisure because of their numerous natural attractions. In a matter of minutes from the city, residents and tourists can climb up and enjoy the breathtaking top view of Cebu from Busay mountains. The city also has an abundance of greens and pristine white sand beaches where you can easily enjoy and relax after a heavy workweek.  

According to Colliers, Cebu remains to be a major residential investment hub even beyond the pandemic and is expected to continue further. If you are looking for a property to invest in that offers expansive greenery and convenient living with a steady growth of investment and guaranteed return, City di Mare (CDM) at the heart of Cebu is a perfect fit for you. 

City di Mare’s 58-hectare premier development consists of 40-hectare mixed-used development, a joint venture project between Cebu City government and Filinvest Land, Inc., and a 10-hectare commercial component. The remaining 8.1 hectare was acquired by Filinvest Land Inc., in 2020 to complement the masterplan community of City di Mare and strengthen its vision to make CDM the “Lifestyle Capital of Cebu”. This 8.1-hectares land sets to be part of the integrated development of the township and envisions to provide residential, commercial, office and retail offerings in Cebu City. With this, City di Mare intends to offer a live-work-play lifestyle experience to the community. 

City di Mare is nestled in a strategic location at the South Roads Properties, Cebu City, which is being honed by the Cebu City government to be its next business district. Its location is close to Mactan International Airport via the soon-to-open Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) which will directly link Cebu City toCordova City. The location of City di Mare has also convenient access to key destinations and provinces of Cebu.

City di Mare has ready-for-occupancy residential enclaves with resort-style amenities. Sanremo, a mid-rise condo community named after a picturesque Italian resort-town, Sanremo Oasis, offers residents a glimpse of the sea and surrounding mountains right from their balcony. Amalfi, on the other hand, was inspired by an Italian coastal town known for its picturesque landmarks and scenic beauty. This 4.5-hectare property with 9 five-storey residential buildings has allocated 65 percent of its space entirely for amenities, open spaces, and landscaped greens.

With a self-contained green community that has pedestrian and bike-friendly spaces, City di Mare’s outstanding landscape and public parks are designed to give you a refreshing environment with the natural sea breeze and mountain views of the eastern coast. To make modern living possible, City di Mare is home to Cebu’s one and only waterfront retail strip, IL Corso Lifestyle Mall, which has Sunset Market and bazaars, and a variety of retail offerings. Soon, City di Mare will be home to schools, residential developments, office spaces, and retail and recreational centers. A mass transit system for Cebu City and City di Mare Pedestrian Bridgeway will also be developed to provide greater mobility in the area soon. With these developments, City di Mare is the ideal address for residential and business as a progressive city.

“City di Mare aims to change Cebu City’s skyline by seamlessly integrating business and leisure with nature as the backdrop. This reinforces our vision of a live-work-play community that is conducive to all kinds of investments,” said Don Ubaldo, First Vice President for Project Development - Township. 

With the growing and competitive pricing in real estate today, aspiring home buyers and business owners should take advantage of City di Mare’s vibrant and booming community so they can reap its benefits even beyond the pandemic.

RLC Residences extends eco-friendly home clean up initiative to more properties

RLC Residences extends eco-friendly home clean up initiative to more properties

Cramped home space is one of the common concerns of many, attributed to a lot of factors such as having too much furniture or appliance at home, struggling to let go of sentimental items, or purchasing items in bulk without consideration of storage space. RLC Residences understands this homeowner’s struggle, which is why it opens its passion project “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” to more developments in the Metro to encourage more residents to declutter responsibly.

After its introduction in 2021, the initiative was initially made available to three RLC Residences properties as a way to advocate eco-friendly home clean-up to its residents. Now, the service is expanded to help Quezon City residents living at Escalades East Tower, Escalades at 20th Avenue, and The Magnolia Residences. 

Availing of the “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” service is easy and free! Residents can take advantage of this offer by logging in to their myRLC Homeowner’s portal, going to the Humble tab, and booking a pick-up schedule. 

“Our promise to help our residents live their best lives goes beyond the usual services offered to them. We are always on the lookout for more innovative ways to support their home needs while considering our environment as well. We are grateful to finally extend this passion project to more RLC Residences homeowners and allow them to do nature-friendly home clean-up,” says Karen Cesario, RLC Residences Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer.

Soon, the service will be offered to other properties in Mandaluyong, Taguig, and Manila including Gateway Garden Ridge, Robinsons Gateway Residences, The Trion Towers, McKinley Park Residences, and Robinsons Place Residences.

The “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” project is crafted in partnership with award-winning start-up Humble Sustainability. The first of its kind in the residential industry, this initiative is primarily created to help homeowners with their home clean-up needs. In addition, the project is crafted to provide a better solution to bring back unused items in the circularity instead of simply throwing away home items that are no longer used. 

“It’s an honor to have the opportunity of working with RLC Residences in any way, to now be expanding the partnership is truly a privilege. As a community, we must all work together and practice circular living if we are to get a step closer to achieving sustainability. Collaborations like this are a wonderful example of that,” says Josef Werker, Co-Founder of Humble Sustainability.

Check out the flyers available or go to the Humble tab at the myRLC Homeowners portal to learn more about this program. Homeowners can also approach their respective Property Management Office for more information.

1st Carousell Property Awards recognized Lumina Homes as the Best Affordable Housing Developer

1st Carousell Property Awards recognized Lumina Homes as the Best Affordable Housing Developer

Lumina Homes has grown from a low-cost housing brand to one that provides a Filipino family’s ultimate dream home, but it always looks back to its roots of offering affordable and decent homes to everyone. Several award-giving bodies validate this commitment of Lumina Homes, and recently, the first-ever Carousell Property Awards recognized Lumina as Best Developer for Affordable Housing.

The 1st Carousell Property Awards celebrates the country's most recognizable real estate developers and their finest developments. The Best Developer for Affordable Housing award is one of the nine categories, some of which were bestowed to Lumina’s sister companies under Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc., one of the country’s leading integrated property developers.

Vista Land has guided Lumina in its 10 years of building more than 100,000 homes for Filipino families.

These Lumina projects are available in over 50 key cities and municipalities in the Philippines such as in Rizal, Bulacan, Laguna, Isabela, Bataan, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union, Cagayan, Isabela, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Quezon, Albay, Sorsogon, Iloilo, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Agusan del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Bukidnon, Misamis Occidental, and Davao del Norte.

Each is strategically located close to major thoroughfares, transport hubs, schools, hospitals, and business and leisure centers.

Lumina also listens well to current market needs, and it has started converting its developments to cater to the demand for bigger living spaces. Due to the pandemic, most property seekers are looking into two-storey house and lots with bigger room provisions, bigger lots, and better ventilation. 

“We in Lumina Homes are committed to go beyond what is expected of an affordable housing community. We will continue to maximize and level up our developments' potential in providing residents the quality home and life they deserve,” shares Engr. Joemi Tan, Division Head of Lumina Homes.

Recently, Lumina “unboxed” eSpacio, its very own amenity center composed of well-thought and functional amenities. Aside from standard amenities such as a multi-purpose hall, mini gardens, playground, jogging path, and a shuttle terminal, eSpacio also boasts of a holistic community center and “Tambayan ni Juan.”

The community center has office provisions for Health Center, Day Care Center, Senior Citizen Center, and Barangay Center while the “Tambayan ni Juan” features an al fresco dining hub with live performers on stage, so that homeowners can have a safer place to enjoy new-normal leisure and entertainment.

But Lumina’s advantage over most affordable housing brands is its push for real-estate solutions early on, even before the pandemic started.

For safer, smoother and faster transactions, Lumina offers efficient virtual home tours and subdivision walkthroughs. It has also perfected online reservation, online appointment booking, and online payment options through digital wallets and digital banking in partnership with national bank players.
