Manila Bay, a natural harbor on the western part of Luzon, has been a silent witness to the country’s rich history and evolution. Before the Spanish colonization, it was a hub for trade and commerce between the locals in Manila and nearby countries. Through the various rehabilitation, developments, and reclamation projects, the area is now transforming into a prime location for business, tourism, and residential investments. With these progressive activities, the Manila Bay area is now expected to become a growing economic setting that offers a blend of scenic views, historical stories, and promising opportunities such as the anticipated completion of the bayside lifestyle.

One of the rising establishments that people can now look forward to in this vicinity is SMDC’s Sands Residences. Its promising facilities include the drop-off area where guests and residents will be welcomed by intricate art installations and the sunset lounge that provides an overlooking view of Manila Bay.
