DMCI Homes: The Mid-Rise Residential Development Specialist

There is nothing average about the DMCI Homes' version of the medium-rise development which surpasses the ordinary concept of erstwhile projects found around the metro.  For DMCI Homes, the mid-rise development should have such attributes as low density, ample space, and generous provisions designed to suit the needs of its market.  

This formula has likewise ensconced DMCI Homes as a "mid-rise residential development specialist" - and it's no fluke with its impressive collection of properties that have emerged like hot commodities in the market.  Almost every time they launch a new mid-rise project, homebuyers and investors come in droves to check out the site and make a reservation and then a purchase - the whole development is sold out before they even know it.

Truth be told, the mid-rise development is one of the most successful endeavors of DMCI, bourne out of 50 years in the construction industry building landmarks and changing Metro Manila's skyline.  Only, this first-rate property has become accessible to the underserved market of young, mobile families with modest income - the segment of the population which deserves to belong in such a cozy, charming community. 

Mid-rise specialist

Alfredo Austria, DMCI Homes managing director, revealed that the company derives its expertise with the mid-rise development through its experience with developing residential projects since 1999.

"Over the years, we have sharpened our craft on building medium density projects. More than 6,400 units of mid-rise buildings have been offered to the public, 55% of which are already moved-in. Building mid-rise developments affords us to deliver units earlier than the normal developments. And since the bulk of our buyers are end-users, the demand for moving-in right away is addressed," he said. 

DMCI Homes' mid-rise residences feature buildings with single-loaded corridors that open to a garden or atriums that bring the greens inside. Interior corridors meanwhile allow the buildings to have balconies so residents can marvel onto relaxing views of the open space below and the cityscape. Exterior corridors on the other hand provide views of the amenities and landscaping outside the unit's doorstep.

All DMCI Homes mid-rise communities are strategically located in an accessible area, in close proximity to everything that a household would need - schools, hospitals, transport points, commercial areas, business districts, and other institutions.  The site plan cuts DMCI Homes communities above the rest.  

In terms of planning, DMCI Homes ensured that future residents will get to enjoy the luxury of space, through effective site development designs.  For instance, buildings are arranged with spaces in between to give ample areas for either greeneries or comfortable space.  The developer has also imposed a 60:40 ratio of infrastructure to open spaces, which allows open spaces for landscaping and common areas. 

All buildings are provided with access to the central core of amenities, which in turn, fosters community interaction.  Building features are standard for all developments, and if compared to other projects, could be touted as premier appointments.  

These include single-loaded corridors that open to a garden or atrium to give residents comfortable space.  Exterior corridors provide a view of the amenities or the neighboring community while interior corridors secure utmost privacy for residents and allows them to open to a refreshing garden.  Natural light and proper ventilation are likewise effectively provided across the buildings.

Among the most recent of DMCI Homes' mid-rise buildings, towers are consigned to no more than five floors.  (Other developers define mid-rise to as high as 10 towers - already a high-rise for DMCI Homes).  This provision allows for a low density of the building which contains only a limited number of housing units to accommodate residents.  It inspires privacy and exclusivity among dwellers.  Projects also have an average of 16 units per floor (eight on one side of the building another eight on the other side) which are separated by an atrium in an interior type corridor.

To support these building features, DMCI Homes equip the towers with good-speed elevators for the convenience of residents.   Basement parking is provided to give residents/unit owner's peace of mind in securing their vehicles.  For utilities, drying cages or utility areas are included with every unit purchase, as an extra area (aside from the balcony) in addition to the liveable area sold to the residents.

And to cap all these advantages, the price of DMCI Homes mid-rise developments are very competitive in the industry - affordable enough for a young family to live in comfort.  "An average monthly sales take-up for a mid-rise building is around 70 to 100 units. This figure definitely proves the market's acceptance and preference for mid-rise over other categories," Austria noted.
