Five reasons to try rent-to-own at Alder Residences

Alder Residences, a new ready-for-occupancy condominium of DMCI Homes in Acacia Estates, Taguig City, has been welcoming move-ins since June 2024.  

With two of its buildings now ready for occupancy, including the Andea and Manzuria buildings, this resort-inspired community offers a fresh opportunity for families and professionals seeking a home near Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), McKinley Hill, BGC, and Makati City.  

But what if you're unsure whether condo living is the right fit for you? Through DMCI Homes' HomeReady™ program, you can try out condominium living by leasing a unit at Alder Residences with the option to purchase it later. 

HomeReady™ is a rent-to-own option with no spot down payment to move in available in Alder Residences and select DMCI Homes’ RFO condominiums in Metro Manila and Davao City. 

HomeReady™ allows potential buyers to experience the community and lifestyle first before making a long-term commitment. 

Here are four reasons to convince you to avail of a rent-to-own option at Alder Residences under DMCI Homes’ HomeReady™ program: 

The resort-inspired amenities make it a relaxing place to live in. Meanwhile, spacious unit cuts and breezy hallways, made possible by Lumiventt® Design Technology, make condo living comfortable and cozy.  

Nestled within the 2.9-hectare Alder Residences, part of the expansive Acacia Estates in Taguig, this residence is a true retreat in the city. 

The Andea Building features two-bedroom units that are generously sized, ranging from 64.5 to 71.5 square meters, which makes them perfect for a growing family. Upon moving in, commercial-grade fiber internet is already provided within units and select common areas while amenities like a coworking space, a fitness gym, swimming pools, entertainment room, roof deck, and lounge areas are available for residents’ use.  

Alder Residences is part of the Acacia Estates township of DMCI Homes, which is just a few minutes’ drive from commercial centers within Taguig. It is a 15-minute drive to McKinley Hill, about 20 minutes away from Bonifacio Global City (BGC), and also close to Makati, the country’s premier business district. This makes it a practical option for professionals who want easy access to their workplaces while enjoying more value for their investment. 

Acacia Estates offers a serene and exclusive neighborhood near these bustling business hubs yet provides a relaxing environment so residents can enjoy peace and quiet. Designed with family-friendly living in mind, the township features themed subdivisions and condominiums built with a sense of community. 

Traveling in and out of Alder Residences is also a breeze, with easy road access to malls, restaurants, hospitals, and even to the NAIA, all of which are less than 30 minutes away from the property. 

The HomeReady™ program offers a rental agreement that can easily be converted into a rent-to-own contract once a resident decides that the property and unit is the one for them. It’s a budget-friendly option that makes the most out of your monthly rental fees.  

Under DMCI Homes’ HomeReady™ program, tenants initially sign a lease contract and will pay a monthly fee for it. This gives more than enough time for the renters to experience life at Alder Residences and see how it complements their day-to-day activities. They can easily determine how convenient it is to travel from the property to offices and schools, and if the condominium amenities suit their lifestyle – all without signing a long-term mortgage.  

At the end of the lease, tenants are offered the chance to buy the unit at Alder Residences where they are currently staying. If they decide to buy the property, they won’t have to shell out a big amount as the down payment.  

Here’s the best part: at least 60% of the rental fees previously paid will now be credited as part of the down payment. This eases the financial burden borne by the new unit owners, considering that they will only have to shell out a smaller amount to secure the property. The balance may then be funded by a bank loan or through in-house financing, leaving them with less worries.  

Under the HomeReady™ program, the leased unit also comes with a lock-in price, which means that the purchase price will be based on the unit price at the start of the lease agreement. This shields clients from unit price increases should they decide to buy the unit later on.   

This rent-to-own scheme is also very convenient as tenants no longer have to move their stuff out of one unit and move into another: they stay put where they already feel at home.  No rent is wasted, and they are more confident in their property investment.
