DMCI PROJECT Developers, Inc. (DMCI Homes) has earmarked P16 billion this 12 months for development spending and land acquisition, barely lower than its P17.9-billion capital expenditure (capex) in 2025, because it plans to roll out 4 residential projects in Baguio, Laguna, Quezon City, and Taguig.
“With rates of interest expected to ease, we anticipate a healthier environment for homebuyers and a gradual recovery within the housing market,” DMCI Homes President Alfredo R. Austria said during a briefing on Friday.
“We’ll proceed offering value-for-money homes with practical financing options, while rolling out latest projects at a pace that reflects each opportunity and prudence,” he added.
Many of the spending will go toward 13 ongoing developments and upcoming project launches, with the balance allotted for land acquisition and equipment.
For 2026, DMCI Homes is lining up a mixture of premium, leisure, and mid-market developments, including projects in central Baguio City and Calamba, Laguna, in addition to latest residential condominium projects in Quezon City and Taguig.
In earlier statements, the corporate said One South Drive, a luxury medium-rise development in central Baguio City, might be positioned within the premium segment.
The project is situated on land owned by Consunji-led private holding firm Dacon Corp.
“It’s a property right beside the golf course of the country club. So, it’s a really prime location, we expect it can be a high-end market,” Mr. Austria said.
Meanwhile, the Moriyama Nature Park in Calamba, Laguna is a Japanese onsen-inspired development designed as a condotel project to tap rising domestic tourism demand.
“It’s a condotel, so the variety of guests is high,” Mr. Austria said, adding that the primary phase of the project could have about 300 units.
The planned developments in Quezon City and Taguig will each be residential condominium projects, he said.
Asked about projected sales, Mr. Austria said: “The expected revenue for the 4 projects is about P16 billion — that’s the revenue. But after all, it also depends upon the pace of the project. A few of them are coming toward the tip of the 12 months. So, you won’t realize the revenue straight away.”
Individually, DMCI Homes said the full property value of units under its rent-to-own program reached a record P14.5 billion in 2025, nearly double the P7.3 billion recorded in 2024. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno
