Upkeep and response — belongs to whoever runs the building now. From 9 of 9 rated buildings here and 62 in the market.
The market here is Philippines: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because the review platforms residents use, and the service norms they judge against, move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a price band. Read structure and living together. A developer above the market on structure and below it on living builds well and runs buildings badly, which is a fixable problem and a different one from building badly. Higher ratings are better; differences use the displayed scores rounded to one decimal. Rated buildings only, on both sides, and a structure or living score with no stated basis — no review count and no notes or links — is left out of both.

Risks & source coverage

  • DELIVERY DELAY Reported January 27, 2026; the buyer described the original May 2023 commitment and subsequent postponements through October 2026. A buyer reported that SMDC Style’s estimated May 2023 turnover was repeatedly postponed to 2024, 2025, January 2026 and then October 2026; the report presents the account as a buyer allegation and does not establish whether the October 2026 commitment was ultimately met by the research date.
  • DELIVERY DELAY Published January 27, 2026; reported commitments May 2023, January 2026 and October 2026 SMDC’s Style Residences in Iloilo was reported by a buyer as repeatedly missing revised turnover dates: an estimated May 2023 handover was moved through 2023–2025, then from January 2026 to October 2026; this is a contemporaneous complaint rather than an independent regulator or court finding, and the project’s status on October 12, 2026 is not independently confirmed.
  • DELIVERY DELAY Published February 28, 2019; alleged non-delivery reported as of February 2019 A buyer reported that SMDC Shore Residences Tower 1 in the Mall of Asia complex missed its contractual third-quarter-2018 turnover and remained unavailable in February 2019 despite the buyer having begun bank-loan payments; this is old, user-generated evidence and no current status or later resolution was established in the retrieved material.

Start to completion, over 5 delivered here and 21 in the market.
The market here is Philippines: every other developer whose head office is in the same country, because planning regimes and reporting norms move together within one. It is not a city, a sector or a size band. Read the two delay figures together. A median close to the market with a much better average means no single disaster; the reverse means one project is carrying the record. Time to deliver runs from the earliest start we hold to the completion itself — a construction start where a source gave one, otherwise a sales launch, otherwise the launch year read as its January. A handover the sources place only inside a year is read as that December, so a duration is the widest the record allows rather than the flattering end of it. Only delivered projects dated at both ends count, so it is taken over fewer projects than the delay figures, and a long build is not a fault: a tower is not a villa run. Sourced figures only, both sides, and values taken from documents held on file are excluded here — a developer who shares their records should not score better than one who does not.

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures. 1 dated statement is held back: a broker listing with no date on it, or a page with no year, cannot fix a date. 3 turned out to be about something else — a phase, a neighbour, the wider masterplan — and are marked off-subject.

Combined from 13 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8.6.

The largest qualifying review base is the Google/Maps Building 4 rating of 4.4/5 from 94 reviews, which converts to 8.2 under the requested curve. The evidence adds consistent praise for location, security, staff and amenities, while older construction-quality concerns and a small number of maintenance/access complaints temper the result; guest-platform ratings are higher but describe short stays.

+ Landscaped, spacious development+ Pools and recreation areas+ Powerful air-conditioning in reviewed unit+ Soundproofing listed as an accommodation feature
− Noise transfer / weak soundproofing− Non-sturdy doors and cabinets reported− Intercom/doorbell absent in older review− Elevator reported not working once− Overhead water tank rarely cleaned
+ Convenient SM Sucat proximity+ Strict/security presence+ Polite and helpful staff+ Pools and family amenities+ Peaceful/open grounds
− Parking limitations and fees− Tenant escort requirement for guests− Non-free shuttle noted− Peak-hour crowding reported− Occasional maintenance delays reported

Structural evidence is mixed and mostly unit-level or older: one review described construction quality as “so-so,” said doors and cabinets were “not sturdy,” and reported that sounds carried between units. A later guest review said “Elevator not working,” while another review alleged the “Overhead water tank rarely cleaned”; these are reported incidents, not evidence of a confirmed systemic failure.

Day-to-day feedback is generally favorable: reviewers describe the building as “safe secure” with “very polite” staff, and repeatedly praise the location, pools, grounds and nearby SM Sucat. The main friction points are parking cost/availability and strict guest access; one review also described occasional maintenance delays and noise disturbances, while the older review found the security arrangement potentially bypassable through a rear entrance.

Combined from 6 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.6.

Google’s building listing supplies the largest review base, 4.4/5 from 115 reviews, which converts to 8.2/10 under the specified curve. The written feedback is mixed: location, security and air conditioning are praised, while outages, limited amenities, lobby service and a current resident repair-assessment dispute temper the result. The structural score remains null because no published structural rating was found.

+ Acceptable build quality reported+ Good air conditioning reported
− 3–8 hour power outages reported− Internet outages reported− Weak water pressure reported− Exterior-wall rectification dispute− Roof re-waterproofing assessment dispute
+ Convenient SM Bicutan location+ 24-hour security+ Friendly/helpful individual host reported+ Good air conditioning+ Pools available
− Hostile lobby service reported− Frequent pool closures− Paid pool access− No gym reported− Long power/internet outages

One Google review described the rooms as having “okay size and build quality” and “good aircon,” but also reported weak water pressure and power/internet outages lasting 3–8 hours. A September–October 2026 resident petition alleges a ₱31.5M assessment for exterior-wall redecorating and roof re-waterproofing, with comments describing the original decoration as poorly done; this is a resident-reported dispute, not an independently verified engineering finding.

Published guest feedback consistently values the location and security: one reviewer called it “walking distance to SM Bicutan” and “very secure,” while another praised a host who was “very approachable and accommodating.” The main operational criticism was that “lobby staff are hostile and useless,” alongside minimal amenities, paid and sometimes closed pools, and outages lasting several hours.

Combined from 10 published figures on 2 platforms, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 8.3.

Google’s 4.2/5 from 88 reviews is the largest review base and converts to 7.6/10 under the specified curve. Smaller guest platforms are more positive, while the reported recurring complaints about elevators, noise and crowded amenities warrant only a limited commentary adjustment; no structure score is assigned because the evidence does not publish a structure-specific aggregate.

− Elevator breakdowns or delays
+ Convenient access to SM Novaliches+ Clean facilities and units+ Friendly staff and guards+ Walkway and community amenities+ Pool and family facilities
− Noise from children and nearby activity− Crowded pool− Elevator waiting or breakdowns− Pool-access ticket friction− Strict access arrangements

The published review material contains one recurring systems complaint: “The lifts regularly break down,” with another staycation account describing the elevator as “hit or miss” and sometimes involving long waits. No published review evidence located here establishes broader problems with the framework, plumbing, HVAC, electrical infrastructure or waterproofing, so those areas are left unevaluated.

Daily-life feedback is mixed. Positive reviews call the location accessible, the facilities clean and the staff very nice, while negative feedback says children can be noisy “all day and into the night,” the pool is “dirty and crowded with kids,” and access to the pool tickets was troublesome. These are resident and short-stay observations, not a current engineering or management audit.

Green 2 ResidencesDasmariñas3,254 units
7.8/ 10
6.8/ 10
7.3/ 10

Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest applicable review base found for the building, 4.1/5 from 64 reviews, which converts to 7.3/10 under the specified curve. The displayed written feedback supports both strong amenities/cleanliness and operational weaknesses, especially elevator availability and some service/upkeep complaints; these offset rather than justify a large additional movement. The structure figure is lower because the available physical-condition evidence is concentrated in repeated elevator and equipment complaints rather than a dedicated structural rating.

+ Pool reported well maintained+ Gym reported well kept+ Fire detection and sprinkler systems documented+ Standby generator for common areas documented+ Sewage treatment plant and centralized cistern documented
− Frequent elevator outages− Elevator queues and hot cars reported− Broken gym treadmills reported− Trash-room pest and waste complaints
+ Clean and safe reported+ Well-maintained pool+ Well-kept gym+ Study room and pool appreciated+ Convenient student-oriented location
− Elevator queues affect daily use− Gym hours criticized− Turnover-update delay− Trash and cockroach complaint− Staff/security attitude complaint

The published resident/occupant feedback identifies elevator reliability as the clearest physical-systems issue: one reviewer said that only “two or three” of five elevators were usually working and another said half were “always under maintenance.” The same review reported hot elevator cars, broken gym treadmills and cockroaches around a full trash room; these observations sit alongside project documentation listing passenger/service elevators, a sewage-treatment plant, cistern, fire systems and generator provisions, which describes installed facilities but does not prove current operating condition.

Daily-life reviews are mixed. Positive comments call the property “very clean and safe,” praise the pool and gym, and say “management is always available,” but negative reviews describe five-to-seven-minute elevator waits, a gym that opens at 11 a.m., full trash cans and rude or impatient staff; these are user reports from different dates, not a current management statement.

Glam ResidencesQuezon City

—/ 10
7.6/ 10

The building-specific listing publishes 4.2/5 from 350 reviews, which is the only qualifying aggregate rating located and therefore sets the anchor at 7.6/10 under the requested conversion curve. The written material includes both praise for convenience, staff, cleanliness and the pool and isolated complaints about maintenance and follow-through, but not enough repeated evidence to apply a commentary deduction.

+ Clean pool+ Buildings described as well maintained
− Building maintenance complaint
+ Convenient on-site commercial area+ Nearby restaurants and amenities+ Helpful staff+ Clean pool+ Quiet, peaceful environment
− Promises allegedly not followed through− Maintenance concerns

The published review material contains one physical-condition complaint: “The only downside is that the building is not neatly maintained.” A separate review said the buildings were “very clean and well maintained,” so the limited physical evidence is mixed; no published review evidence located here addresses plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, leaks, waterproofing, lifts, or structural integrity directly.

Reviewers praised the on-site commercial area, nearby restaurants, helpful staff and pool; one described it as a “quiet, peaceful environment.” Negative operational feedback included “Never follow through with promises,” while another reviewer said the building was “not neatly maintained.”

Combined from 7 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.6.

Google Reviews/Maps has the largest applicable review base and sets the level at 4.2/5, converted to 7.6/10 under the specified curve. The guest platforms are materially more positive but are short-stay evidence, while the directly read reviews add recurring moderate complaints about noise, construction, security procedures and pool condition; after limited commentary adjustment, the overall resident-experience score is 7.3/10. No defensible structure score is assigned because the published material does not rate the building's engineering systems.

− Construction still reported in units/floors− Thin walls and audible neighboring rooms
+ Convenient Mall of Asia location+ Near airport and nearby destinations+ Clean and well-furnished units+ Polite and attentive reception/guards+ Pools, gyms and family amenities praised in guest material
− Guest-registration friction− Intrusive security checks− Pool cleanliness/condition complaints− High parking charges− Rush-hour traffic and crowded amenities

The published feedback contains no engineering assessment of the frame, plumbing, HVAC or electrical systems. It does include physical-condition complaints: one guest reported construction in “most of the units in our floor,” while another said the walls were so thin that they could hear everything next door; these are reported user experiences, not proof of a building-wide structural defect.

Daily-life feedback is mixed. Guests praised the location, furnishings, views and amenities, including one review saying the property was “very close to Mall of Asia,” but others described guards repeatedly stopping them, “many weird rules” for visitors, and a pool that was “filthy”; the Google aggregate is 4.2/5 from 169 reviews as published on the place page. These observations combine resident-oriented property evidence with short-stay reviews, so they should not be read as a pure long-term-resident survey.

Fame Residences Tower 4Mandaluyong
7.2/ 10
6.8/ 10
7.2/ 10

The largest applicable published aggregate is Synara’s 4.1/5 from 216 reviews for the Fame Residences cluster, converted to 7.3/10. The four Tower 4-specific reviews are uniformly positive, but broader cluster evidence reports elevator outages, long waits and management delays; because those problems are not proven Tower 4-only, they support only a modest adjustment rather than a full tower-level penalty.

+ Well-maintained building (one Tower 4 review)+ Modern design+ Elevator provision reported as four per tower
− Elevator outages and long waits
+ MRT and shopping access+ World-class amenities+ Excellent security+ Family-friendly pool and playground+ Responsive management (one review)
− Management complaint delays− Cockroach reports− Dirty or closed pools− Long elevator waits

The Tower 4-specific page describes a “well-maintained building,” while the broader Fame Residences review material reports that “1 or 2 elevators are not working out of 4” and, elsewhere, waits of up to 45 minutes. Those lift complaints are cluster-level evidence and cannot be confirmed as Tower 4-only; no published Tower 4-specific plumbing, HVAC, electrical or waterproofing review was located.

The four Tower 4 reviews praise the location, amenities, security and community; one says the property is “well-maintained” with “responsive management.” Broader cluster reviews are more cautionary, describing management as stalling complaints, elevator waits, and cockroaches or dirty/closed pools, so the current day-to-day picture is mixed and the negative reports are not all tower-specific.

Agoda 9.3/10, 8.7/10, 8/10, 8/10 · 135 reviews · agoda.com
Combined from 4 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.9.

Agoda’s building-specific guest aggregate of 8.3/10 from 135 reviews sets the level; under the supplied guest conversion curve this is approximately 6.6/10 before commentary. The score is modestly lifted by repeated praise for staff responsiveness, complaint handling and upkeep, while the negative room and amenity reports prevent a stronger living assessment; there is no reliable building-wide evidence of structural failure.

+ Well-maintained reception area+ Clean rooms reported+ Modern interiors+ Kitchen appliances and washing machine
− Weak air conditioning reported− Weak shower spray reported− Mothball odor reported
+ Responsive hosts+ Accommodating staff+ Smooth WhatsApp communication+ Reportedly effective complaint response+ Security praised by a guest
− Pool-use charge disputed by a guest− Parking in another building− Small-space complaints

Guest feedback is generally positive about the physical accommodation: one verified Agoda review called the property “beautifully designed and consistently upkept,” while another reported a “well-maintained reception area.” A Rent By Owner review nevertheless described a “small and weak” air conditioner, weak shower spray and a strong mothball smell; these are individual guest reports rather than evidence of a building-wide structural defect.

Short-stay reviews describe staff and host interaction positively: guests said communication was “smooth by WhatsApp,” staff were “Friendly,” and one reviewer said the owner was “very responsive.” The main operational criticisms were that parking was in another building and that one guest found the pool charge and listing description mismatched; Agoda’s verified-review summary also records “excellent security measures” and a well-maintained reception area.

5.9/ 10

Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest published review base at 25 reviews and sets the level: 3.7/5 converts to 6.1 on the specified curve. The reported recurring management complaints outweigh the smaller body of recurring praise slightly, producing 5.9 overall and for living quality; no sufficiently developed structural rating or evidence supports a separate structure score.

+ Nice elevators+ No bugs reported+ Clean and well-maintained unit reported
+ Good amenities+ Pleasant lobby ambience+ Friendly staff+ Good views+ Convenient location
− Delayed turnover− Customer-service complaints− Weak follow-through on concerns− Short-stay amenity restrictions− High HOA fees reported

The available physical-condition feedback is limited and generally favorable: one reviewer wrote “nice elevators ... no bugs,” while another described the condo as “clean, well-maintained.” No published review located in this research reported flooding, leaks, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, façade or other serious building-system failure.

Daily-life feedback is mixed: reviewers praised the “fantastic” lobby, pool, gym, views and “incredibly nice” staff, while owner reviews complained of “super delayed turnover,” repeated follow-ups and “lack of customer service.” A separate resident review called the location convenient and amenities good but flagged high HOA fees; the short-stay feedback also mentions paying to use the pool.

Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 0 of 9 projects carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 0 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

DELIVERY DELAY Reported January 27, 2026; the buyer described the original May 2023 commitment and subsequent postponements through October 2026.
A buyer reported that SMDC Style’s estimated May 2023 turnover was repeatedly postponed to 2024, 2025, January 2026 and then October 2026; the report presents the account as a buyer allegation and does not establish whether the October 2026 commitment was ultimately met by the research date.
DELIVERY DELAY Published January 27, 2026; reported commitments May 2023, January 2026 and October 2026
SMDC’s Style Residences in Iloilo was reported by a buyer as repeatedly missing revised turnover dates: an estimated May 2023 handover was moved through 2023–2025, then from January 2026 to October 2026; this is a contemporaneous complaint rather than an independent regulator or court finding, and the project’s status on October 12, 2026 is not independently confirmed.
DELIVERY DELAY Published February 28, 2019; alleged non-delivery reported as of February 2019
A buyer reported that SMDC Shore Residences Tower 1 in the Mall of Asia complex missed its contractual third-quarter-2018 turnover and remained unavailable in February 2019 despite the buyer having begun bank-loan payments; this is old, user-generated evidence and no current status or later resolution was established in the retrieved material.
