Master-planning, by definition, is the conscientious effort of developing or improving a property with the goal of ensuring a unified vision for its space. It’s coming up with a sustainable plan to calibrate the best utilization for the area while considering the needs of stakeholders who will be impacted by it.
If done right, a master-planned development, or better yet, a master-planned city, could do wonders for the people living in it. A stellar testament is Iloilo, a city poised to be a ‘premier innovation hub’ by 2030, on the back of the efforts of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Global Shapers Iloilo, and other local stakeholders and business groups. In recent years, Iloilo has made headways in becoming an exceptionally-integrated innovation hub, with several factors contributing to this growth — well-connected infrastructure, a fine risk-reduction management program, and the arrival of several big companies, seen to push the city towards being ‘the next economic epicenter’ in the Philippines.
Jaro, in particular, the largest district in Iloilo, has taken an active role in redefining its economic landscape with big-ticket projects that are expected to generate jobs and tourism opportunities. Initiatives like these not only prime up the region’s economy but also create an ideal environment for real estate investment. Investing in Iloilo now would mean maximum returns are undoubtedly in your cards.
A win-win situation
One of the first movers in this progressive area is SM Development Corporation (SMDC), which has redefined the urban-dwelling landscape. Strategically located in the district of Jaro, Iloilo, Glade Residences gives you both front seats to Iloilo’s transformation and the opportunity to thrive at the crossroads of growth.
It’s master-planned in such a way that it gives you easy access to the best of Iloilo, along with a coveted, low-carbon-footprint lifestyle. The development is strategically placed near top-tier schools to help your children excel, various commercial hubs that give you plenty of shopping and dining options, decades-old places of worship you can find refuge in, and medical facilities that ensure your health stays in its prime. Even more, it promises a home-beside-a-mall lifestyle for you, with a future SM Mall right next to it.
With the development seamlessly integrating itself in the up-and-up Iloilo City, Glade Residences is bound to take the Ilonggo way of life to the next level.
The perfect gated garden community for everyone
A recent Santos Knight Frank study said that proximity to green spaces, good air quality, and good views are among the residential property considerations that have grown important for today’s homebuyers. With sustainability at the core of each and every development, SMDC exemplifies a true trailblazer with spaces that addresses these needs.
