A new boutique residential project is set to reshape one of Baguio City’s most tightly held addresses, as Dacon Corp. launches One South Drive, with project management and marketing led by DMCI Homes, the property arm of DMCI Holdings, Inc..
Rising along South Drive, an established low-density enclave in Baguio City, the development enters a market long defined by limited inventory and strong end-user demand. The area is known for its tree-lined environment and proximity to major lifestyle and institutional landmarks, including Baguio Country Club, The Mansion, Camp John Hay, and Mines View Park, making it one of the city’s most consistently sought-after residential corridors.
One South Drive will feature two seven-storey mid-rise buildings with three basement levels, designed to maintain a low-density footprint. Unit sizes will range from 112.5 to 175 square meters, targeting families, second-home buyers, and investors seeking larger, longer-stay residences in the highlands.
The development integrates hillside-sensitive planning with landscaped gardens, walking paths, and shared community spaces designed to maximize open areas.
At the top, a roof deck Sky Garden and Sky Promenade will provide sweeping views of Baguio’s pine-covered slopes and urban landscape.
South Drive’s persistent supply constraints as a key driver of value stability, with demand anchored on its reputation as a premium residential enclave. Developers said the project’s scale and design were calibrated to complement, rather than disrupt, the district’s established character, reinforcing its appeal as a long-term investment address in the city’s high-value residential market.
