North Belton Communities in Q.C. to have its own SM

An SM mall will soon rise within North Belton Communities (NBC), a vast mixed-use township in Quezon City being developed by Belton Communities, Inc. (BCI), a subsidiary of Lucio Tan’s Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. (EPPI) catering to the middle-income segment. Three hectares in NBC’s 13.8-hectare property located along Quirino Highway, Quezon City have been dedicated as the area where the mall will be constructed. According to BCI Asst. Vice President and Project Director Jay Atencio, “Our partnership with SM in North Belton Communities is intended to give our homebuyers the best value for their purchased property. Adding to that, of course, is the convenience the mall would provide to the communities within the township.” North Belton Communities has three exclusive residential enclaves, namely, The Manors, West Wing Residences and West Wing Villas that would eventually be home to 1,600 families. “Very soon, residents can simply walk to shop, dine, or simply unwind at their neighborhood SM mall,” said Atencio. www.beltoncommunities.com

The arrangement between NBC and SM marks the second tie-up between EPPI and the SM Group. The first partnership was in 2009, when EPPI and SM’s Super Shopping Market, Inc., sealed an agreement in relation to Eton’s two-level commercial center, Centris Station, in Quezon City, where SM Hypermarket is the anchor tenant. North Belton Communities’ partnership with SM is true to BCI’s mission of offering Filipino homebuyers security, comfort, and value-for-money in integrated communities that provide everything they need. Apart from having its own SM, North Belton Communities also boasts of being near favorite Q.C. malls. It is right across SM Hypermarket Novaliches and 10 minutes away from SM City North and Trinoma. North Belton Communities is readily accessible as well through main thoroughfares such as EDSA, Quirino Highway, Mindanao Avenue, Tandang Sora and the newly opened expressway connecting Mindanao Avenue to North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). Schools such as UP Diliman, Miriam College, Ateneo de Manila University and St. James College are also nearby.
