Although primarily established to manage its parent company’s landholdings, SMPI diversified into commercial property development in response to market opportunities. Its portfolio of projects include mixed-use developments with economic to middle-income housing as its main thrust, with property leasing, the management of strategic real estate ventures and corporate real estate services as other major projects and services.

One of SMPI’s first vertical projects is San Miguel Corporation’s current corporate headquarters, the San Miguel Head Office Complex. Considered a landmark in Metro Manila, this iconic building has served as a catalyst in transforming the area into what is now known as the Ortigas Business Center.

Another SMPI project is the San Miguel Properties Centre in Ortigas Center, a 24-storey office building which houses other SMC subsidiaries and multinational companies in the information technology, banking and support services industries. Other vertical projects include the 808 Building, El Magnifico and EDSA 3 building, all of which are located in the Ortigas area.

SMPI was instrumental in developing San Miguel Village, one of the first exclusive private residential enclaves in Makati, Metro Manila. Indeed, San Miguel’s pioneering presence was the seed that encouraged growth in "greenfield areas" like Santa Rosa, Laguna; San Fernando, Pampanga; Mandaue, Cebu and Darong, Davao del Sur. Among SMPI’s completed projects are The Legacy in Las Piñas, Villa de Calamba in Laguna, and Primavera Hills/Buenavista Homes in Cebu.

SMPI’s current residential projects include Maravilla and Bel Aldea both located at General Trias, Cavite and Wedge Woods located in Sta. Rosa.

Strong demand for SMPI’s various existing projects led the Company to a wider property portfolio consisting of residential projects, office building, as well as strategic land banking in various growth centers across the archipelago
Recently, SMPI signed a joint venture agreement with the Government Security and Insurance System (GSIS) for the development of the latter’s 1,766 sqm property for a high-end service apartment, adjacent to Greenbelt, Makati, a popular upscale mall in the heart of Makati, Manila’s financial district.   The Company also signed an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of a 28-hectare property in the island of Boracay, Aklan, a premiere tourist destination in the Philippines. The Boracay property is earmarked for a leisure-resort development. 

In support of SMPI’s real estate operations, SMPI signed a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 30% of Bank of Commerce that will provide customers with easy access to mortgage financing.

With the company’s extensive experience in managing the IT infrastructure and systems of one of the Philippines’ leading business conglomerates, SMITS combines industry best practices and business-specific customizations to enable clients to improve business performance. SMITS has one of the largest and most experienced pools of SAP consultants in the Philippines and has had extensive experience in providing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions to its clients.
With exceptional functional and technical expertise coupled with extensive industry knowledge and a strong vision for growth, SMITS is the ideal choice for IT consulting to drive business growth and transformation.

History

During the early days of technology adoption, subsidiaries of the San Miguel Group formed their own IT departments and employed their own IT personnel. These small groups of IT individuals mainly provided technical and infrastructure support to their individual companies. In 1994, SMC senior management made the important decision to invest in technology if San Miguel is to become a world-class company. It decided to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning system and use it as the backbone for its operations. A year later, a select team of IT specialists and business process experts from the Beer Division and SAP consultants from Germany successfully completed the first ever implementation of SAP-ERP in the Philippines. Subsequent rollouts were done in the SMC breweries, the various business units of the San Miguel food group, the entire packaging group, and even some of SMC’s international operations.

In 1999, to optimize and capitalize on synergies in IT human resources, SMITS, Inc. was spun off as a separate IT company. Its main thrust was to provide cost-effective services and support to San Miguel’s increasing requirements for IT-based business solutions. And the rest as they say is history.
