Living the good life: How SMDC's new segments are taking shape

Following the recent unveiling of its brand refresh and new residential segments, SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is demonstrating how its vision for life-centered communities is taking shape across its projects nationwide.
SMDC sharpened its portfolio into three new segments — SMDC Heights, SMDC Nature, and Symphony Homes — each designed to meet different lifestyles and life stages. Now, the company is highlighting how these categories translate into real developments that bring convenience, connection, and long-term value to Filipino homeowners.
“At SMDC, we are designing for more than today’s buyer,” said Jessica Sy, Vice President and Head of Design, Innovation & Strategy of SMDC. “We are building communities that evolve with people — places that provide access to opportunities, foster connection, and deliver value that lasts across generations.”
Everyday life made tangible
For urban achievers, SMDC Heights developments such as Sail Residences in the Mall of Asia Complex offer more than high-rise living. With direct access to lifestyle destinations, convention hubs, and Manila Bay, residents are connected to the city’s energy while enjoying amenity decks designed for both work and leisure.
For families seeking balance, SMDC Nature communities bring wellness into the equation. Bloom Residences in Parañaque devotes over 60 percent of its footprint to open spaces, with jogging paths, yoga lawns, and shaded gazebos — all while being minutes from Skyway for easy commutes. In Tagaytay, Cool Suites at Wind Residences pairs mountain air and landscaped courtyards with proximity to the town’s popular dining strip.
For those looking for permanence in suburban growth areas, Symphony Homes marks SMDC’s first foray into house-and-lot living. Its developments in Pampanga are tailored for families, first-time buyers, and returning OFWs, offering stability and space while keeping everyday needs within reach of SM malls and transport networks.
The SMDC advantage

Across all three segments, the anchor remains the same: accessibility, and integrationn with the wider SM ecosystem. Every community benefits from being part of a larger network that includes malls, offices, hotels, schools, and future infrastructure, ensuring that an SMDC address appreciates not just in market value but in lifestyle value.
With projects continuing to rise in Metro Manila and regional cities, SMDC affirms its role in SM Prime’s broader vision of building integrated, future ready estates.
As Sy emphasized, “The future of residential living lies in communities that respond to people, not just markets. At SMDC, we’re committed to building homes that grow with our homeowners, enabling the good life to be lived every day.”
