DMCI Project Developers, Inc. (DMCI Homes) has earmarked P16 billion for development expenditure and land acquisition this year, slightly lower than its P17.9 billion capital expenditure (capex) in 2025, as it plans to launch four residential projects in Baguio, Laguna, Quezon City and Taguig.
DMCI Homes President Alfredo R. “With interest rates expected to decline, we expect a healthy environment for home buyers and a gradual improvement in the housing market,” Austria said during a briefing on Friday.
“We will continue to offer value for money homes with practical financing options, while launching new projects at a pace that reflects both opportunity and prudence,” he said.
Most of the expenditure will be spent on 13 ongoing developments and upcoming project launches, with the remaining amount allocated for land acquisition and equipment.
For 2026, DMCI Homes is planning a mix of premium, leisure and mid-market developments, including projects in Central Baguio City and Calamba, Laguna, as well as new residential condominium projects in Quezon City and Taguig.
In earlier statements, the company said One South Drive, a luxury mid-rise development in central Baguio City, will be located in the premium segment.
The project is located on land owned by Kansunji-led private holding firm Dacon Corp.
“It's a property right next to the golf course at the country club. So, it's a very prime location, we think it will be a high-end market,” Mr Austria said.
Meanwhile, Moriyama Nature Park in Calamba, Laguna is a Japanese onsenDriven development designed as a condotel project to meet the growing domestic tourism demand.
“It is a condotel, so the number of guests is high,” Mr. Austria said, adding that the first phase of the project will have about 300 units.
The planned developments in Quezon City and Taguig will both be residential condominium projects, he said.
Asked about projected sales, Mr. Austria said: “The expected revenue for the four projects is about P16 billion – that's the revenue. But of course, it also depends on the pace of the project. Some of them are coming at the end of the year. So, you won't realize the revenue immediately.”
Separately, DMCI Homes said the total property value of units under its rent-to-own program reached a record P14.5 billion in 2025, almost double the P7.3 billion recorded in 2024. – Alexandria Grace C. Magno
