SM Mezza Residences

[laklak]

Have any of you guys passed by the ongoing construction of the Mezza Residences? I think this is a 4 building 38 story mixed development eh. Anyway, the reason I started this thread is to rant about the SM's poor construction site management (specifically pertaining to cleanliness). Aurora blvd, (portion in front of Mezza) is constantly littered with sludge, mud, cement, sand which would eventually clog up the already clogged up drainage system. The same could be said with the side along Araneta ave. They should impose a fine on SM for this. They also have a habit of having several truck cement mixers lined up along aurora blvd during day time.

Since SM is aiming to be like Ayala, they should try to improve their standards a bit. WHen trinoma was being constructed, everything was orderly and they had competent construction managers overseeing every detail in their site.

I'll try to take a picture when i go out this afternoon so that you could see what I mean.

i happen to passby the area nga minsan, parang may ashfall from pinatubo sa pagpasok ng araneta ave. hindi rin kasi mahigpit ang LGU ng QC sa ganitong bagay.

may mall din ba dyan

[Bogeyman]

Mezza Residences is just across SM City Sta. Mesa and the Central Colleges of the Philippines campus, on the other side of Aurora Blvd.

Minsan napapadaan din kami dyan on our way to Divisoria. From the looks of it, mukhang matagal-tagal pa bago magawa yan.

[laklak]

yes, hypermart yung baba

[Lucius]

Kadiri to eh, minsan parang may sandstorm. Kawawa ung mga nasa jeep hahaha

[falken]

It's a mess there, I think the drainage there's already clogged. That corner gets flooded even after only a bit of rain.

hayy araw araw ako napapadaan dito sobrang walang kwenta yang SMDC na

yan, ang dumi dumi ng kalsada tas yung mga trucks nila nagoobstruct sa traffic!

pero may benefit din yung pagiging maalikabok ng area na yan kasi dati

ginagawang tambayan ng mga mokong na MMDA yang lugar na yan eh (yung

mga hindi nag-aayos ng traffic, nag-aabang lang ng makokotong-an) at least

ngayon mamamatay na sila sa alikabok sakaling gusto pa nilang mangotong.

[Horsepower]

Baka daw dagdag gastos pa pag kinontain yung mga alikabok at dumi kaya pinapabayaan na lang.

Medyo baboy nga sila trumabaho. Maraming barko pa ng bigas ang kakainin ng SM bago nila mapantayan ang standards ng Ayala. Kaya hindi matanggal ang "bakya" stigma sa SM e. Yung Ayala, effortlessly upscale.

He is also expanding and renovating SM North Edsa by building a new annex and doing an all out facelift. This is in response to TriNoMa.

He gets financing from various institutional lenders all over the world to finance his projects. He then primarily uses his mall's rent income to pay them off at a later time.

BDO....DBP....

[bosstl]

i live just a block away, and i always take the road beside it everytime.

madumi nga sila magtrabaho, laging baha yung kanto and hirap tumawid. puros putik and cement yung kalye (wawa oto). pero isa sa nakakabanas talaga, ilang beses na sumasabit yung mga truck nila sa linya ng cable/telephone kaya ilang beses na rin kami nawawalan ng service...


pero ang pinakakinaasaran ko sa area na yan ay yung mga pesky jeepneys and pedicabs na ginawang terminal yung kalsada dyan. grrr... e mas traffic pa dumaan diyan sa street na yan kumpara sa maghintay sa stoplight sa araneta eh.

He owns BDO, Equitable-PCI, China Bank. He also has several publicly listed companies. He also gets money from institutional lenders from all over the world as previously mentioned. He is using other peoples money.

Even if his provincial malls does not make money, its still better for him to keep on building. He earns from the real estate value and it keeps his tax payments down. As long as he is building, he has a lot of expenses which he can use to lower his income tax and vat payments.

last weekend, i saw SM tagaytay constuction going on near the casino.
hanggang 2nd floor na ang nagagawa, pero walang gaanong alikabok.
probably dahil very open ang area?

hahaha... this is so true. anyway, I had a chance to talk to some of the engineers of SM (the ones involved in non-mall related constructions), all I can say is they seem to be arrogant, they act as if they are gods. I was really surprised, completely opposite to the engineers and staff involved in the Trinoma who were all accomodating.

Nakalimutan nyo yata na naging major shareholder ang Marcos family sa SM nung 80's at hanggang nagyon mayroon parin(ganoon din sa Robinsons).. At least mas ok to kaysa sa Puregold supermarket na nagsulputan(pera na ninakaw ni GMA daw naman dito ang ginagamit)..

Nakita ko na yung Mezza at kung mayroon man baha dyan eh for sure hindi na kasalanan ng SM yan..
