And by a certain measure, it will mostly involve the usual considerations, namely location, amenities, and affordability.
But the South Residences in Las Piñas clearly offers more.
Premier lifestyle
What this latest project from SM Development Corp. provides is a holistic, premier lifestyle as you have practically every factor you could think of.
It was as if the South Residences was specifically designed to fit your lifestyle —whether it’s for a young professional, for a start-up family, or even for the empty-nesters.
Here, you will find everything that says “premier” as it is strategically located within the SM Southmall Complex. This means the utmost in accessibility: with the mall, the dining, retail, and entertainment options, offices, and a transport hub.
It comes as no surprise that South Residences appeals to a broad market, as it ticks a comprehensive checklist for safety, convenience, comfort, and lifestyle needs, thus creating that “five-star experience.” Here is a part of that checklist:
1 CONVENIENT LIFESTYLE
The SM Southmall Integrated Lifestyle District, where the South Residences is located, boasts of accessibility to entertainment, shopping, dining and transportation hubs.
SM Southmall, the largest shopping mall this side of the metro, houses the biggest brands in fashion, and the most sought-after restaurants and watering holes. This premier lifestyle center also offers a wide array of entertainment options, like a bowling center, an IMAX Theater, and an ice skating rink to name a few.
2 SAFE COMMUNITY
Residents can enjoy a “lock and go lifestyle” at South Residences to enable them to explore their passions with ease and peace of mind. How so? SMDC’s property management team implements stringent security measures that include the presence of CCTV cameras in all hallways and common areas and 24/7 security.
3 RESORT-LIKE AMENITIES
South Residences has a free form landscape design that features amenities defining the art of leisure and reflecting the laidback lifestyle of the “South.”
You have the swimming pools, lush gardens and luxe lounge areas, along with the gazebos, which all help create the five-star experience.
4 HOTEL-LIKE SERVICES
Hotel-like services will also be available, including reception desk assistance and doormen, while the grand lobby at the South Residences completes that hotel experience.
5 CAPITAL APPRECIATION
Since 2015, land values within this district has risen by 23 percent, thus providing its early investors lucrative returns.
And it seems that the uptrend may continue given the growing population in the area, as well as the establishment of new offices and businesses, by both the big firms and the small and medium sized enterprises. Rental rates are on the rise as well. Las Piñas, for its part, is likewise a fast growing city with thriving businesses.
6 INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
More companies are choosing to set up their offices in the SM district given the number of infrastructure projects that have made it all the more accessible to commuters and motorists alike.
Strategically located along Alabang-Zapote Road, South Residences showcases easy access to the metro’s major thoroughfares like the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and the Manila-Cavite Expressway. From here, key destinations in the city are just minutes away. And with the earmarked extension of the LRT 1 line, the area will soon be more accessible, providing more transport options for its residents.
Now is thus the right time for both investors and end users to bet high at the South Residences for that much sought premier lifestyle in the metro.
