The Princeton Residences is the latest residential project of SM Development Corporation (SMDC). This 42 storey condominium will soon rise in New Manila, Quezon City along Aurora Boulevard besides LRT 2 Gilmore Station.

SM Development Corporation, the developer of Princeton Residences, is the real estate development arm of SM Prime Holdings Corporation, the same company that built and manages the various SM Malls. Base on the information that I obtained from flyers and websites, it will be one of the rare instances wherein SMDC will be building a residential condominium that is not nearby an SM Mall, unlike their previous projects such as Grass Residences, Fields Residences and Sea Residences.

Despite not having a nearby SM Mall, Princeton Residences has a few notable landmarks nearby such as St. Paul College, Gilmore IT Center, Broadway Centrum and German Cultural Center. However, its proximity with LRT 2 Gilmore station will provide its unit owners with easy access to various establishments in Metro Manila such as Divisoria, Araneta Center and up to Ateneo de Manila University.

All units in Princeton Residences will be fully furnished. Some of the appliances included in each unit are air conditioning system, range hood, LCD TV, queen size bed, and toilet & bath fixtures.  Unit types include studio type, 1 BR and 2 BR. Some of the amenities are swimming pools, pool cabana and lounge area. Some of the building features include automatic fire detection and alarm systems, standby generator sets, and four elevators.

The Sea Residences is a residential condominium that will soon rise near SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. The site is located along Diokno Boulevard in SM Business Park and basically separated to SM Mall of Asia only by SM Corporate Headquarters buildings E and F.

This 15-storey, six-tower condominium is a project of SM Development Corporation (SMDC). SMDC is a subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings, the company that brought us the well-known SM Malls,  supermarkets such as Save More, and high-end establishments like The Podium. It is the company behind other residential developments like Field Residences in Sucat,  Paranaque (near SM Sucat) and Grass Residences in North EDSA, Quezon City (near SM City North EDSA).

Sea Residences is very close to SM Mall of Asia (a usual trend in residential developments of SMDC being close to an SM Mall) but there's more to it. It's because SM Mall of Asia is not just a mall. It's an integrated land development that also includes One E-Com Center, an IT and BPO (business process outsourcing) hub and San Miguel by the Bay, a strip of nightlife establishments with bars and live bands.

Sea Residences is also close to Manila Doctors' College, a school offering health-related courses located along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue. Also in Macapagal Avenue is a cluster of restaurants with wet market where you can buy meat, fish, vegetables and other ingredients and have the staff of the restaurant of your choice cook it for you. Moreover, Sea Residences is located at a walking distance away from the Shrine of Jesus Church.

Amenities in Sea Residences include club house, function rooms, swimming pools, spa, mini theater, playground, tropical garden and jogging trail. The buildings have entrance lobby, four passenger elevators, standby generator for common areas, and automatic fire alarm and sprinkler system. Available unit types are 1BR and 2 BR. It's currently under construction with turn-over on year 2012.
