SMDC’s Shore Residences: A Confluence Between the Paradise of your Dreams and the most Lucrative Property in your Portfolio

Picture a coastal-inspired home that’s more akin to a five-star vacation resort than your regular concrete structure — a home where you are welcomed everyday with a grand lobby, lush greeneries, and multiple turquoise-watered swimming pools; a home where your sights are filled with the blues of a majestic bay, your ears with the sounds of calm waves, and your heart with anticipation for a vibrant food, commerce, and entertainment hub. 

Whatever scene you imagined is just a small taste of what life is like at the Shore Residences Complex, a master-planned mega district by SM Development Corporation (SMDC) composed of three residential developments.

Shore Residences combines resort-style living with all the conveniences and luxuries an address within the Mall of Asia (MOA) complex could offer. Dive a little deeper and find out why a lifestyle upgrade or an investment in this prime location is an opportunity you just cannot miss.

Welcome to paradise

A life in Shore Residences is a high life, primarily because it’s a life of endless summers. The grand lobby, for instance, embodies a tropical design that almost literally transports you to the seaside.

The vast entrance hall is defined by seashell white marble flooring, whimsical curves and textures, and accents of colors of the ocean. With cabana-like sofas, premium woven furniture, and coastal embellishments, one may easily mistake Shore Residences’ lobby as the lobby of a five-star resort.

Wrapping up your everyday vacations, of course, are the hotel-like services in the complex. Like any other SMDC development, Shore Residences boasts of hotel-like services, geared towards curating an affluent lifestyle for residents. The cordial welcome of the doorman, the tireless hospitality of the front desk staff, and the well-appointed interiors at Shore Residences all come together to ensure you come home to a paradise you can call your own.

Where luxury lives

Luxury lives in every corner at Shore Residences with a plethora of in-water and out-of-water activities offered in the complex.

From charming, wharf-inspired decks, to riverfront lounge pools, to palm tree courtyards and beach entry pools that come with a feature island— Shore Residences is the pinnacle of “resort-inspired” SMDC developments. Residents of all ages can enjoy the several aquatic activities in the complex that not only serve as bonding opportunities for the family, but are also scientifically-proven as beneficial to one’s mental health.

If you don’t fancy water-based drills, there are plenty of scenic areas for you to get your endorphins fix around the mega district. Beautifully-landscaped gardens abound the complex that give you vast, open spaces to walk, run, or meditate. Shore Residences also has fully-equipped indoor gyms, jogging trails, and a basketball court where you could tick off your fitness goals one by one.

When it comes to social activities, on the other hand, you and your loved ones could gather and celebrate the most momentous occasions in the opulent function rooms in the development, with panoramic views of the resort-inspired amenities as your backdrop.

 

An idyllic time for maximum returns

As the country recovers from the global health crisis, several real estate experts see encouraging forecasts in the residential property sector. This shared sentiment is a clear sign that there might not be a better time to enter the market than today.

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) Philippines, for one, sees increasing demand from professionals looking for homes closer to places of work. This bodes well for investors of Shore Residences, should they capitalize on the steady rental market that many business hubs in the MOA Complex help provide. 

Santos Knight Frank, on the other hand, see new infrastructure developments as the key to success when it comes to auspicious returns in real estate investment. 

A testament to this is a research that discusses how from the period of 2008 to 2019, developments surrounding the MOA Complex have increased in value four times in just ten years’ time. Imagine what a decade holds for you if you invest in Shore Residences now?

Whether you’re trying to find a home where your kids can grow with life’s best comforts, or you’re in need of a vacation space that’s not too far from the hustle and bustle of the city, or you’re looking for a sound investment opportunity that will yield returns for years to come, there’s a little bit of something for everyone in Shore Residences.
