Signature Series by SM Residences, the premium primary residential brand of SM Prime Holdings (SM Prime), has unveiled its first “Life Space” at The Podium Mall in Mandaluyong City to bring its vision of elevated urban living closer to its target market.
Spanning roughly 300 square meters, the Signature Life Space was designed by Lor Calma & Partners, known for landmark projects such as The Mind Museum, the Freedom Memorial Museum in UP Diliman, and the redevelopment of the National Museum of the Philippines.
“We call it a “Life Space” because it’s designed to show people what thoughtful living feels like,” said Jessica Sy, Vice President and Head of Design, Innovation and Strategy at SM Prime. “The materials come together in a balanced way that inspires a more considered, more refined approach to everyday life.”
Walking into the gallery, wood, marble and metal elements in warm browns, cool grays and deep blacks ground the space, while ambient lighting and commissioned artworks by Reg Yuson and Lui Gonzales enhance the room’s visual identity
Across the space, a mix of inviting seating areas, quiet nooks, private conference rooms, and a bar create natural pockets for conversation and connection.
“From here, we plan to open another Life Space in Susana Heights, with a target launch by first quarter of next year. It will be a special one because visitors can experience the natural charm of the estate firsthand,” added Sy.
The relaunch of the Susana Heights estate is the first project in the Signature Series pipeline. Located in Muntinlupa City, the 284-hectare estate will be developed into a premium, sustainable community backed by a ₱25-billion initial investment. The estate development will be home to a network of residential clusters, lifestyle and civic spaces, and commercial hubs.
As an initial offering, Signature Series will be marketing the SM group’s treasury inventory in the existing Susana Heights Village. Build-ready residential lots ranging from 500 sqm to 900 sqm, complemented with improved and new amenities and infrastructure enhancements within the estate.
Soon following the reintroduction of Susana Heights Village, a new low-density luxury residential village will be launched inside the estate as a flagship project under the Signature Series brand.
Designed from the ground up, the new development will feature lots ranging from 700 to 1,100 sqm at 6.5 lots per hectare, complemented by a five-kilometer greenway loop, and country-club-inspired amenities.
