​THE Human Settlements Adjudication Commission (HSAC) has voided the zoning approval for a 15-story condominium project along Tinio Street in Addition Hills, Mandaluyong City. ​The Addition Hills North Homeowners’ Association Inc. (AHN HOA) shared the order to stop construction with The Manila Times on Thursday. ​In its decision, the Commission en banc set aside the Dec. 15, 2021 and Aug. 17, 2022 resolutions of the Mandaluyong Local Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals (LZBAA). Those resolutions had granted a variance and exception to Wee Community Developers Inc. (WCDI) for the project, known as “WeeComm Centre,” at 54 Tinio St. ​The HSAC ruled that the property is located within a Medium Density Residential Zone (R-2), where the maximum allowable height is four stories or 12 meters under the city’s zoning ordinance. The commission stated that even applying the 50-percent development ceiling, the building could only reach six stories or 18 meters, making the 15-story plan a “blatant” violation of restrictions.​ The commission found that WCDI failed to submit mandatory written affidavits of non-objection from adjacent property owners. During a clarificatory hearing on Oct. 16, 2025, WCDI counsel acknowledged that several names on a submitted consent list were employees of joint venture partner Profriends living in a company-owned townhouse at 56 Tinio St., adjacent to the project site. ​The ruling also flagged a lack of due process, noting that no proper public hearing was conducted despite numerous objections from residents. While the developer claimed an online hearing was held, it failed to produce minutes of the proceeding when ordered by the commission. ​Further inconsistencies were found in the project’s technical documents. The HSAC noted that a soil investigation report cited a five-level basement for a project actually proposing six levels, and that both the soil and traffic reports were submitted unsigned by licensed professionals. ​The HSAC permanently enjoined WCDI and its assigns from continuing construction and ordered the company to pay attorney’s fees and costs of the suit to the homeowners’ association. ​The case stems from WCDI’s 2021 joint venture with Profriends to develop the Tinio Street site. The project faced a closure order in June 2022 for operating a showroom without a license from the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development.
