MANILA, Philippines — As brighter prospects are seen for the Philippine economy’s recovery, now is the opportune time for entrepreneurs to ride along with the projected rebound and start their own businesses.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said the Philippine economy may grow by more than 6% this year, driven by the 12% expansion in the second quarter and a stronger-than-expected growth of 7.1% in the third quarter.

The Central Bank also projects that the economy will reach full recovery from the impact of the pandemic by the third quarter of next year or even earlier.

Entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) can take part in this projected recovery by starting their own businesses and contributing to the economy.

To support entrepreneurs and MSMEs in this endeavor, two-time Best Developer SMDC is bringing Gold Residential Offices (RESO) into the market, its second foray into the residential-office format. This latest development completes the pioneering township of SMDC, 2019 Best Township awardee Gold City, which also houses the multi-awarded Gold Residences, which took home five major awards at this year’s Property Awards.

Gold City is an 11.6-hectare masterplanned community across the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Parañaque City. Within it is Gold RESO, a residential-office development that provides the luxury and comforts of a premium condominium, at the same time, features and amenities suited for working professionals and entrepreneurs.

Whether one has dealings in Metro Manila, outside of it or even out of the country, Gold RESO makes the business journey seamless.

This development is not only across from the country’s top international airport but is also at a crossroads to major highways and arterial roads that connect to key places of interest such as central business districts, shopping centers, leisure centers, dining establishments and tourist destinations.

It is also near transport infrastructures such as the Mega Manila Subway and the NAIAX.

With the Gold RESO, SMDC has set the gold standard for working and living, by not only responding to the ever-changing needs of the market but also by elevating its offerings to a level of luxury designed for the modern urban dweller.

Very early on, award-giving bodies have been taking notice.

In 2019, Gold City won the Property Awards’ Best Township Development. At the recent PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, Gold Residences won five plums: Best Mixed Use Development, Best High End Condo Development (Metro Manila), Best Lifestyle Development, Best Landscape Architectural Design and Best Mid Rise Condo Development. It was highly commended in the Best Condo Interior Design and the Best Condo Interior Design categories.

SMDC made sure this pioneering township will offer only the best living and working experience for its future homeowners. It commissioned an impeccable lineup of award-winning designers aiming to create a masterfully crafted world-class project.

Architectural firm Asya Design, which has consistently been awarded as one of the Top Ten Architectural Firms in the Philippines and ranked 32 worldwide, designed the project’s modern and impressive façade.

Hong Kong-based Adrian L. Norman Limited, which specializes in landscape architecture and masterplanning, is responsible for urban design and landscape. The project features a streetscape that promotes walkability and subterranean parking that protects during changes in climate.

Interiors of Gold RESO were designed by Plus Architecture, a dynamic master planning, architecture, interior design and visualization firm dedicated to delivering inspiring, impactful projects across Australia, New Zealand and now the Philippines. The firm envisioned Gold RESO as the ticket to the world stage for entrepreneurs, to become “the jewel of the City of Gold.” From the lobby, one can instantly feel the luxury, opulence and importance that top-level executives deserve. Stone walls and floors anchor the integrity of the design and a standard of quality refined by the gold details, creating a sophisticated and prestigious tone, giving the budding entrepreneur that aura of success.

Contributing to the economy

As it continues to raise the bar with its offerings to the market, it is no surprise that SMDC won the Best Developer Award for two consecutive years at the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards.

What’s even more noteworthy is that its wins happened during the pandemic as it continued to launch projects amid these trying times with the aim of restoring the economic normalcy needed to provide jobs and keep the economy going.

Coupled with this goal, is the aspiration of the developer to help more Filipinos realize their dream of owning a home by offering urban dwellings where luxury marries affordability, giving them the kind of home that they deserve and need.

Indeed, SMDC is setting the gold standard in real estate development in the country. And Gold RESO is a testament to that.
