SMDC, the residential arm of SM Prime, one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated property developers, continues to make its presence felt south of Metro Manila.
Tagaytay City has long been known for its cool climate, stunning vistas and serene lifestyle. But beyond its charm, Tagaytay is fast becoming a hotspot for investment and residential development, drawing both locals and tourists alike.
The allure of mountain living is undeniable as it offers a fresh escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. It’s no wonder that Tagaytay’s popularity is surging, with six million tourist arrivals in the third quarter of 2023 alone.
This growing appeal hasn’t gone unnoticed by the country’s top property developers. Many have launched both commercial and residential projects in Tagaytay City, particularly along the ridge. The area is highly sought after for its prime real estate, characterized by a cool climate year-round and breathtaking views of Taal Lake and the Taal Volcano.
SM Development Corp. (SMDC) is one of the key players that have established a significant presence in Tagaytay, allowing Filipinos to live out their dreams of owning a piece of this prime real estate destination. SMDC’s Wind Residences is strategically located to offer the city’s stunning views and provide easy access to major roads, food spots and activities for the nature-loving weekend retreaters.
Tagaytay’s economic growth is as impressive as its views. With a revenue of ₱793 million in 2023, Cavite is ranked among the top five provinces in the country in terms of economic dynamism, government efficiency, infrastructure, resilience and innovation. The most exciting aspect of this is the potential for wealth generation. SMDC’s Tagaytay properties not only offer residents a serene, highland lifestyle but also present exceptional investment opportunities. Unit owners at Wind Residences and its Cool Suites can expect their investments to appreciate significantly over time, with historical trends indicating that real estate values in the area often surpass growth rates in surrounding provinces.
