How SMDC’s Jade Residences is Leading the Shift
The urban jungle has never been more fast-paced, and with it comes an increasing demand for homes that offer more than just convenience—they must provide respite. As stress levels rise and work-life boundaries blur, today’s homebuyers are no longer just looking for prime locations or modern amenities; they’re searching for wellness-focused living spaces that nurture both mind and body.
Enter Jade Residences by SMDC—a Makati development that seamlessly blends urban convenience with wellness-focused design. Designed for balance, this enclave offers a distinctive way of living in the city, integrating connectivity, mindfulness, and well-being — setting a new standard for Makati residences.
A city that moves fast, a home that keeps you centered
Makati is the beating heart of Philippine commerce, known for its relentless energy and around-the-clock momentum. But for many, this constant rush can be exhausting, leaving little room for rest and renewal.
SMDC introduces Jade Residences as a sanctuary for city dwellers seeking balance in Makati’s fast-paced landscape. Beyond its strategic location at Chino Roces Avenue, an emerging growth corridor connecting Makati to BGC and Pasay, Jade Residences takes urban living to a new level by dedicating an entire floor to well-being—a rare feature in the city’s high-rise residential scene.
Bringing balance back to city life
Unlike typical condos focused solely on leisure, Jade Residences is designed for restoration. It features an entire level dedicated to well-being, complete with a private spa, sauna, and Zen therapy area. The Therapy Walk, a tranquil pathway through lush greenery, encourages mindful movement—a rarity in high-density living. The Serenity Pool mirrors the sky, creating a meditative retreat, while the Rooftop Sky Retreat offers sunrise yoga and moonlit meditation. The Tea Lounge, inspired by unhurried living, invites residents to slow down and connect over curated tea selections. Even the Nature-Inspired Play Spaces provide a calming alternative to traditional playgrounds, with handcrafted wooden structures and water elements fostering both relaxation and creativity.
The shift towards wellness-focused homes
Wellness-centric homes reflect a fundamental shift in how people want to live. Studies show that individuals living in spaces designed for natural light, greenery, and relaxation experience lower stress levels, improved mental health, and greater overall well-being.
“Urban living should not come at the cost of well-being. At Jade Residences, we envisioned a home where residents can thrive in the city while still finding balance, renewal, and rest. More than just a residence, it’s a space designed for people to live intentionally, surrounded by wellness-focused amenities that nurture both the body and mind,” says Jessica Bianca Sy, Vice President and Head of Design, Innovation & Strategy at SMDC. “Makati has always been a city of ambition and progress, and Jade Residences is here to complement that—not by asking residents to keep up with the rush, but by giving them a home where they can set their own pace.”
As Makati continues to evolve, developments like Jade Residences are setting a new benchmark for the future of city living—one where modernity and mindfulness go hand in hand. Whether for end-use or investment, owning a home at Jade Residences means securing a place in a future where wellness is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
