How SM Prime designs for living well

As cities expand and life grows more complex, one developer stands apart—not for what it builds, but for the life it enables. Across moments of motion, stillness, and connection, SM Prime blends refinement with purpose, designing spaces that make everyday life better for millions of Filipinos.

Mall of Asia: Never ordinary

The SM Mall of Asia was meticulously planned and redeveloped to balance movement with memory. With 60 hectares of gross floor area, it stands as a destination for Filipinos seeking a break from the mundane and for tourists eager to experience the country’s unique mall culture.

At MOA, you can lose yourself—not in disorientation, but in discovery. In a dish you’ve never tasted, an event that stirs your passion, or an unexpected find like MOA Sky.

Spanning five hectares above the city, MOA Sky offers space to be active, or simply to be. 

Run laps, kick a ball, reflect in peace, or spend time with your kids and fur babies in tow. The view stretches wide, from sunsets over the bay to city lights coming to life. Up here, the pace is yours to set.

Highlands Residences: An elevated retreat

Highlands Residences offers contemporary living in the cool, scenic heights of Tagaytay Highlands. Rising 352 to 362 meters above sea level, this mid-rise enclave is designed for those who value both comfort and retreat. Modern design flows seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a residence that feels like an escape every day.

The 21,481-sqm property comprises five buildings with residences ranging from one-bedroom units (35 to 77 sqm), two-bedroom units (60 to 97 sqm), and three-bedroom layouts (92 to 93 sqm). 

Generous windows and private balconies open to panoramic views of Laguna de Bay and the surrounding mountains, filling interiors with natural light and fresh highland breezes. Landscaped gardens, open green spaces, and exclusive lifestyle amenities provide residents with a place to slow down, recharge, and reconnect.

Sail Residences: Elevated bayside living

Sail Residences brings the calm of the coast to the heart of the MOA Complex. Inspired by luxury cruise ships and seaside resorts, it fuses nautical design with sustainable elements. Soft-toned facades minimize heat absorption, while balconies invite natural light and fresh airflow. There is also a park made for unhurried walks.

Step inside the two-hectare community, and a sense of ease takes over. The spaces feel light, open, and airy. Poolside lounges reflect the colors of sand and sea, while bay views from the three-level viewing platforms offer a peaceful escape from the city below.

Lanson Place Mall of Asia: Warmth with refinement

True to its ethos of “Make Yourself at Home,” Lanson Place Mall of Asia blends Filipino elegance with modern comfort, creating a sense of belonging the moment you arrive.

Upon entering the Seaside foyer, guests are greeted by a striking sculpture by an internationally acclaimed Filipino artist—six luminous pieces inspired by ocean waves and bioluminescent sea life. On the third floor, a tranquil courtyard serves as a serene backdrop en route to the check-in counter, where warm, attentive staff set the tone for your stay.

Beyond its 247 hotel rooms and 142 serviced residences, Lanson Place Mall of Asia features a thoughtful selection of amenities, including a 24-hour co-working space, rooftop infinity pool, kids’ corner, laundromat, long-term storage, and a gym with fitness coaches available during set hours.

Mega Tower: Built for balance

Located along the busy stretch of EDSA, just steps away from two metro rail stations, Mega Tower stands as a landmark in step with the times. Recognized by the Council on Vertical Urbanism as the fifth tallest building in the Philippines, it features a distinctive S-shaped facade that seems to move with the city—a reminder that progress is always in motion.

A LEED Gold-certified development, Mega Tower is engineered to consume less energy and water while delivering a premium, integrated office experience. Floor-to-ceiling windows, 29 high-speed elevators, and advanced energy-efficient systems come together to create a bright and inviting workspace. Typical floor plates of about 2,200 square meters allow flexible layouts, framed by sweeping views of the metro skyline that inspire each day.

Inside, a hotel-inspired lobby sets a tone of quiet sophistication. An upscale café transitions into an evening bar, offering a refined space to unwind.

Conceived for progress and built around people, Mega Tower is where productivity, flexibility, and well-being come together in perfect balance.
