DMCI Homes is positioning itself for a stronger 2026, rolling out four residential developments backed by a P16-billion capital expenditure program, as expectations of lower interest rates lift sentiment in the housing market.
“With interest rates expected to ease, we anticipate a healthier environment for homebuyers and a gradual recovery in the housing market,” said Alfredo R. Austria, president of DMCI Homes. He said the company will continue to focus on value-for-money offerings supported by flexible financing, while pacing new launches with what he described as “both opportunity and prudence.”
Subject to market conditions, DMCI Homes is preparing a diversified project lineup spanning the premium, leisure, and mid-market segments. Among the developments in the pipeline are One South Drive, a luxury residential project in central Baguio City, and Moriyama Nature Park, a Japanese-inspired leisure community in Calamba, Laguna. Additional projects are also planned in Quezon City and Taguig City, underscoring the company’s continued focus on urban growth corridors.
The bulk of the 2026 capital spending will be allocated to the construction of 13 ongoing developments and pre-development work for upcoming launches. The remaining budget will go to land acquisition and equipment purchases, signaling sustained expansion even as the company remains cautious on timing and scale.
DMCI Homes’ outlook is also supported by strong traction in its rent-to-own program, which reached a record P14.5 billion in total property value in 2025, nearly doubling the P7.3 billion recorded in 2024. The program has become a key sales driver, particularly for buyers navigating higher borrowing costs and tighter credit conditions.
DMCI Homes’ strategy reflects a broader industry shift toward measured growth, as developers balance recovery prospects with lingering risks from affordability constraints and uneven demand.
A wholly owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, Inc., DMCI Homes is one of the country’s leading mid-market residential developers. In recent years, it has expanded beyond its core segment, steadily building a presence in both the leisure and high-end residential markets.
