Imagine waking up in a stylish, modern condo unit bathed in morning light, sipping your coffee while watching the cityscape glow with life. That’s everyday living at Light 2 Residences, the newest addition to SMDC’s thriving “Light” series. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable home or a high-yield investment, Light 2 promises lifestyle, location, and long-term value—with great promise for Airbnb-style passive income in one of Metro Manila’s most accessible neighborhoods.
Light 2 Residences — sleek amenity and lifestyle in the heart of EDSA–Boni, Mandaluyong.
📍 Location: The Heart of It All
Nestled along EDSA, within Mandaluyong City, Light 2 Residences offers one of the most accessible addresses in the metro:
- Steps away from MRT Edsa-Boni Station — perfect for quick rides to Makati, Ortigas, or further north.
- Access to major bus routes along EDSA — seamless travel across Metro Manila.
- Near key business districts (Makati CBD, Ortigas, Bonifacio Global City) — ideal for professionals.
- Close to hospitals, schools, shopping malls (SM Megamall, Shangri-La Plaza, The Podium), and eateries — everything is within reach.
For Airbnb guests, this accessibility is a major draw—ease of commuting, location convenience, and proximity to buzzing destinations are high-demand features for staycationers and travelers.
✨ Lifestyle and Comfort: Designed for Living
Light 2 Residences balances modern aesthetics and practical comfort. The building delivers a contemporary look, stylishly designed lobby, and units that give a sense of calm and brightness. For end-users, the living experience is serene yet vibrant; for investors, the polished look is perfect for listing appealing Airbnb stays.
Imagine couples booking a stylish stay in Mandaluyong, craving centrality without the Makati price tag; imagine professionals renting a cozy unit for business trips. Light 2 offers just that.
🏊 Amenities That Delight Guests & Owners
- Sky Lounge / Viewing Deck — unwind with panoramic city views, perfect for photos or intimate gatherings.
- Adult and Kiddie Pool — relax or let the kids splash in a safe, resort-like setting.
- Function Room — host events, meetings, or virtual-meeting-friendly working lounges.
- Fitness Gym — maintain wellness without leaving the property.
- Landscaped Gardens / Open Spaces — breathe fresh air and enjoy a touch of green in the city.
- 24/7 Security / CCTV — peace of mind for owner-occupied or guest-use units.
- Elevators — efficient vertical movement, especially important for guest turnover.
- Retail / Convenience Stores (if available on ground floor) — quick snacks or daily essentials without stepping outside.
These amenities aren’t just “nice-to-haves”—for Airbnb investors, amenities like a pool, gym, and sky lounge translate into better reviews, higher nightly rates, and repeat bookings. Guests value comfort and extra perks; Light 2 delivers them.
💼 Investment & Airbnb Potential
The Airbnb and staycation market in Mandaluyong and nearby business districts remains robust. With limited true “hotel-style” options at reasonable rates, many travelers look to serviced, stylish condominiums for their stays.
Why Light 2 Residences works for Airbnb investors:
- High demand corridor — near Makati, Ortigas — catching both business travelers and staycation-seeking locals.
- Competitive night-rate potential — offering better value than hotels, with similar premium amenities.
- Low vacancy risk — location plus amenities draw consistent interest from short-stay guests and long-term tenants alike.
- Hands-off management — condo-hotel-like experience possible through property management or co-hosting platforms.
- Capital appreciation — SMDC’s properties along EDSA historically hold and grow in value over time.
💡 Airbnb Income Snapshot
As of 2025, Airbnb stays in Mandaluyong typically range from ₱1,200 to ₱2,000 per night. Even with just half a month’s occupancy, a unit at Light 2 Residences can generate a steady side income—making it a lifestyle perk for some, and a serious investment strategy for others.
Disclaimer: Rates are indicative as of 2025 and may change depending on season, demand, and unit features.
💰 Sample ROI: Why Light 2 Residences Works for Investors
Let’s say you buy a 1-Bedroom Unit (27 sqm) at Light 2 Residences for ₱6,000,000 (inclusive of taxes and fees, indicative as of 2025).
Option 1: Yearly Leasing
- Monthly Rent: ₱18,000
- Annual Gross Income: ₱216,000
- Less Dues & Misc. (₱4,000/month): ₱48,000
- Net Annual Income: ₱168,000
- Yield: ~2.8% per year (steady, stable income)
Option 2: Airbnb / Short-Term Rentals
- Average Nightly Rate: ₱1,600
- Average Occupancy: 60% (18 nights/month)
- Monthly Gross: ₱28,800
- Annual Gross: ₱345,600
- Less Dues, Cleaning, Misc. (₱7,000/month): ₱84,000
- Net Annual Income: ₱261,600
- Yield: ~4.3% per year (higher upside with Airbnb)
Bottom Line: Even with conservative assumptions, Light 2 Residences can deliver 2.8%–4.3% annual returns through rental income alone—on top of the expected capital appreciation as EDSA developments continue to rise. For investors, it’s a balance of cash flow today and property value growth tomorrow.

- Convenient — malls, schools, hospitals, and eateries nearby.
- Stylish but practical — clean lines, open-plan living, space to breathe without the spoiling cost of high-end neighborhoods.

✨ In Your Imagination…
Picture yourself arriving after a busy day—cars zipping along EDSA, the city lights twinkling. You step into a tranquil lobby, take the elevator up to your unit, and unwind in a sleek, sunlit living room.
