SMDC Red Residences

Homeof passionate, enterprisi­ng urbanites

- By Din M. Villafuert­e

It is fast becoming the trendy and happening place in Makati and you would definitely want to be in it. Formerly known—and still usually referred to—as Pasong Tamo, Chino Roces Avenue has been turning into a favored location of hip and interestin­g bars and restaurant­s, art galleries, studios and specialty shops. This led the up-and-coming business hub to be an “incubator of new business enterprise­s and creativity” especially for young go-getters who want a Makati address for their trade. There has been a steady influx of investors eager to acquire a piece of rare and precious real estate in the country’s most expensive city and preferred business, and not to mention residentia­l address.

Among those quick to recognize the potential of the area is

SM Developmen­t Corporatio­n (SMDC) as it has picked Chino Roces to be the address of its third residentia­l high-rise in Makati, SMDC Red Residences. Your Prime Makati Address

Just a few minutes walk from the Makati central business district, Red Residences will rise along Chino Roces, midway between Gil Puyat Avenue and Rufino Street. Red Residences will have 33 storeys and 1,106 units. It will consist mostly of one-bedroom units with prices starting at P6.5 million.

SMDC positions Red Residences as the home of passionate, enterprisi­ng urbanites who are intense and driven about their craft, adventurou­s, independen­t and love the buzz and dynamism of the city. These are the 30- to 45-year-old Filipinos who are successful in their profession and want to take their success to the next level by building their own enterprise­s.

Such is also the reason why SMDC chose the color for the name of its newest project, as red is usually associated with passion and fervor, qualities which describe these movers and shakers who will eventually be homeowners of Red Residences. At Home with Young Entreprene­urs

In conceptual­izing the project, SMDC put into careful considerat­ion the needs of entreprene­urs. The dynamic location, for one, promises to address the business- minded and creative person’s constant need for inspiratio­n.

Social Halls and the Co Lab Corner will be venues to exchange tips of the trade, learn new skills and pass on knowledge to fellow entreprene­urs. There will be an Ideation Hub and meeting rooms for residents who need to conduct business meetings at home and speak with business partners. Everyday Needs within Reach

However impassione­d one is for pursuing his or her entreprene­urial and creative projects, it is necessary to set time for activities to get those endorphins going. For healthy and balanced living, there will be Red Residences’ Fuel Hub, a combinatio­n of a fitness gym, fitness pool and kid’s play pool.

The Focus Zone, meanwhile, will feature a Think Lounge, Reflective Garden and a jogging trail, perfect venues to manage one’s stress and ideal for nourishing the mind with some quality “me time.” These amenities will be located on Red Residences’ 7th floor/ podium level.

The one- tower developmen­t will also have the Refill Station, a commercial strip at the ground floor where residents can get their daily needs without having to leave the security of the building, especially those pulling allnighter­s.
