When one dreams of this and paints the picture of the ideal city, Makati always comes to mind. It is the Philippines’ financial center and home of Ayala Avenue, the country’s very own Wall Street. Not only is it a nest of thriving businesses, it is also a mel
ting pot of like-minded individuals from across the globe. It has over 83,000 business establishments and the highest concentration of local and multinational corporate headquarters as well as the head offices for top Philippine banks. Makati is also where lifestyle hubs thrive. Big brands, local boutiques, fine dining restaurants, hole-in-the-wall diners, and small food carts all pride themselves on serving and satisfying the taste of the pickiest urban dwellers. As the perks of living in Makati outdo the cons a hundredfold, there are only a few green spaces and developable land in Makati. It also comes as no surprise that property prices in the area have soared 132 percent from 2010 to 2018. In the nick of time, SM Development Corp. (SMDC) elevates the Makati skyline with an integrated and sustainable community, the core of SMDC’s business ethos. It transforms Makati, a concrete jungle, with an eco-friendly condominium that fulfills the modern-day yearning for a healthy and balanced lifestyle. NEWLY-MINTED IN MAKATI
SMDC ups the ante along Chino Roces Avenue with Mint Residences, poised to be an eco-friendly habitat. The combined expertise of architectural firm ASYA Design, interior design firm MConcept and landscape architecture company Belt-Collins ensures that Mint Residences becomes a slice of tranquility and respite amid the urban jungle. True to its name, it draws inspiration from mint and Japanese modern minimalist yet timeless design. The façade mimics a mint leaf, with its stalk sprouting from the two central columns at the ground floor, and rises to the pinnacle of the tower with its veins branching out symmetrically on either side. At the drop-off point, a water feature and art installation easily grab one’s attention.
