SMDC creates green sanctuary

Green open spaces have become more of a luxury these days. In a modern and technology-dependent society, many tend to overlook the importance of nature, merely relegating a few patches of open spaces as a property’s aesthetic feature.

We fail to realize that there is more to lush greenery and open spaces than decor. Having quick access to these is important to one’s health and well-being: physically, psychologically and even socially.

According to a University of Exeter study featured by BBC, “living in a greener area had a significant positive effect.” Individuals living in greener areas reportedly had less mental distress and higher life satisfaction. BBC reported that “being able to get outdoors and access green spaces is a great way to escape the stresses of day-to-day life,” even if you are living in a bustling and densely populated area, and leading a busy lifestyle.

Open spaces are perfect for that much-needed “me time,” for those moments when you just need to meditate, relax or unwind after a long hectic day at work. At the same time, open spaces provide a venue for social gatherings, where the community can come together to interact and form bonds.

SMDC Park Residences has dedicated verdant open spaces.

Park Residences in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, for instance, has dedicated open spaces designed to suit its residents’ personal needs and active lifestyles. A project of SM Development Corp. (SMDC), it provides residents with areas that address the need for some peace and quiet as well as to encourage social events. Allocating 43 percent of the development for open spaces, Park Residences aims to foster community building among its residents.

A multifaceted lifestyle awaits those who will call this mid-rise residential condominium project their home, as it will feature a meditation lawn, a stone garden and a bench area for the homeowner who needs some time alone to recharge and commune with his/her inner self. For those who want a good boost of endorphins, there’s a swimming pool, a basketball court, a walking trail and a playground for the kids.

At Park Residences, there’s a space for everyone, whether you want to hang out with neighbors or simply breathe and relax amid the neighborhood garden’s serene setting.

SM City Sta. Rosa is just a stone’s throw away.

Those considering to secure a home at the Park Residences can choose from any of the studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units available. This 14-tower residential development offers a total of 1,864 units, whose prices range anywhere from P2.6 million to P3.8 million.

Located right in front of SM City Sta. Rosa, Park Residences promises homeowners with the best life possible, with quick access to everything that the family needs—schools and universities, parks and shops around every corner. It is also in close proximity to the City of Sta. Rosa’s IT and industrial parks and amusement parks. Residents are provided immediate access to the Mamplasan Exit and South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) via an exclusive road.

A planned transport terminal in SM City Sta. Rosa is also seen to further boost accessibility to key locations such as Makati and Bonifacio Global City. These business districts will just be one ride away for residents of Park Residences.

Nearly half of the development’s total area is allocated for open spaces.

Its well-thought-out open spaces, coupled with Sta. Rosa’s thriving business environment yet suburban and laid-back vibe, truly makes Park Residences an attractive and highly viable investment option for one who wants a safe and peaceful haven with all the conveniences of modern living.
