And how SMDC’s residential life is within the most integrated global hub of Metro Manila
The next generation of big cities will not happen by chance. They will be intentionally established – plan as integrated ecosystems in which life, work, leisure and business are seamlessly connected. In the Philippines, few developments reflect this shift, rather than the Mall of Asia (MOA) complex in Pasay City.
In a single area, MOA brings together a rare fusion: Asia’s sprawling SM shopping center, landmark MOA arena, five-star Conrad Manila, E-COM office clusters and an increasing network of residential and hotel developments. Soon, the addition of SMX International Trade and Exhibition Center (SMXCITE) will further expand the role of MOA. Designed to accommodate up to 18,000 guests, Smxcite will make SMX's exhibition footprint and MOA location a hub for global trade fairs, conferences and commercial events, comparable to Southeast Asia's leading convention centers.
SMDC's Ice Tower Residential-Office is a strategy rise next to Smxcite. Its location is no coincidence. For ice tower owners, proximity to the country’s largest event center means entering the year-round business, entrepreneur and international representatives. The units here will have built-in advantages of higher rental needs, business flexibility and strong resale potential – other addresses that even Metro Manila cannot replicate.
This ripple effect also extends to other SMDC developments in the complex, such as Sail Residences, which offer waterfront style living near commercials; and Shore 3 Residences, a spacious enclave with resort-style facilities that are at the heart of corporate and leisure corridors.
In a market where this location alone is not enough, MOA can truly understand what the city needs to do tomorrow: places close to the industry, easy access to commercial and leisure hubs, and living in communities designed for long-term growth and connection. Within this complex the means of having an apartment living in a region built for real growth – business opportunities, tourism and daily life are all integrated.
The future of urban value is not determined by geography alone, but by ecosystems – MOA proves how to build the future.
