SM Blue is one of the newer SM Development initiatives, located along along Katipunan on one side and Aurora Boulevard on the other. It's a very clean, new building, with lots of units available for rent or sale. I've visited SM Blue a bunch of times to hang out with a friend or to kill time while waiting for a party. The corner unit was big enough for 1-2 people to share, and the wifi is pretty fast and consistent. It's a snug fit for those who aren't experienced in budget condos yet, though.
My main qualms with SM Blue though lie in its obstruction of the Katipunan view in that direction. It's the only large building for kilometers, and ruins the skyline. Also, being an environmental science major, I learned that SM Blue Residences lies literally ON the Marikina Valley Fault Line - not near it, or around it, but literally on the fault line that's bound to cause an earthquake within the next few decades. I hope some earthquake planning came into consideration in building it. read more
