MANILA, Philippines — DMCI Homes, the property development arm of the Consunji family’s DMCI Holdings, is looking forward to a promising year, with the company ramping up its expansion with a P16-billion capital expenditure (capex) program.

DMCI Homes president Alfredo Austria said the company expects 2026 to be better year for the company.

“With interest rates expected to ease, we anticipate a healthier environment for home buyers and a gradual recovery in the housing market,” Austria said.

“We will continue offering value-for-money homes with practical financing options, while rolling out new projects at a pace that reflects both opportunity and prudence,” he said.

Bulk of the company’s P16-billion capital spending for 2026 will continue to fund the construction of 13 ongoing developments and preparations for the upcoming launches, with the balance allotted to land acquisition and equipment purchase.

DMCI Homes has four residential developments in the pipeline for the year.

Subject to market conditions, the company is preparing a mix of premium, leisure and mid-market projects, including One South Drive in Baguio City, Moriyama Nature Park in Laguna and upcoming projects in Quezon City and Taguig City.

One South Drive, a luxury condominium development located in a prime location, is expected to be launched within the first quarter. It will feature around 150 units.

“Because of the upscale location, it is really targeted for the high-end market,” Austria said.

Moriyama Nature Park, for its part, is a Japanese-inspired leisure community. The first phase features a condotel project will have around 300 units.

Both upcoming projects in Quezon City and Taguig City, meanwhile, are planned as residential condominium developments.

“For the past several years, there has been a slowdown in the residential segment. I think during the past several years, those who were looking for condos delayed their decision to purchase because of the reported oversupply, because of expectations that prices will drop and because of uncertainty of their income source,” Austria said.

“But I think they cannot delay forever. If you really need a home, at some point, you will just have to make a decision that now is the time to buy,” he said.

Rent-to-own units under the company’s rent-to-own program reached a record  P14.5 billion in total property value in 2025, nearly double the P7.3 billion posted in the previous year.

“2025 was a record breaking year in terms of the number of units turned over. We were able to turn over 5,445 units,” Austria said.

DMCI Homes is one of the leading mid-segment developers in the Philippines, offering best-in-class amenities and value-for-money properties in Metro Manila and other key urban areas.

The company has also started to expand its portfolio into leisure and the high-end market.
