The SMDC president also lauded the local government unit's performance in handling and developing the city.

"Makati's progress has always been a tradition of the premier city in the Philippines," he said.

Jade Residences is vital in Makati City — close to malls, parks, restaurants, universities, and even key transport hubs. Chino Roces Avenue has been part of the commerce in the Makati CBD.

In an interview with the DAILY TRIBUNE, SMDC vice president for Project Development Sandro Javier mentioned that Jade Residences has what it takes to stand against other condominiums.

"We elevate the lifestyle of Filipinos. We have complete, nice amenities, and the design — modern design," he said.

As the country's economy continues to prosper, the SMDC vows to continue its projects in the business district to bring the people's urban living experience to the next level.
