Five ways DMCI Homes is truly 'redefining' condo living

In an industry filled with overused marketing clichés like "redefining condo living," Quadruple A developer DMCI Homes stands out as a true innovator with its distinctive, industry-first services and initiatives.

For one, DMCI Homes as early as in the late 2000s, had started implementing a design technology for high-rise condos that allows sunlight and cross ventilation inside residential units. This design innovation called Lumiventt® Design Technology – from the words “lumen” meaning light and “ventus” meaning wind -ensures fresh air and light to circulate freely and reduce the build-up of moisture and harmful elements for the long-term health of residents. It also helps lessen consumption of electricity too.

Drawing on its rich construction heritage, engineering expertise, and culture of innovation, DMCI Homes always strives to enhance the quality of life of its residents.

Through the collaboration of employee councils and committees, DMCI Homes continuously creates solutions to improve the customer experience, from buying to moving into their units, and enhancing their living experience in condo communities.

Members of these councils and committees come from different departments to ensure a multi-disciplinary approach to creating programs that benefit customers.

DMCI Homes ensures that its residents enjoy the best possible living experience by consistently refining the aesthetics, quality, cost-efficiency, and functionality of its offerings.

With a steadfast commitment to building vibrant and flourishing condominium communities, DMCI Homes is making the condo lifestyle even more comfortable and enjoyable.

Here are five DMCI Homes services that are truly redefining condo living.

The RideShare service maintains multiple active routes within key areas in Metro Manila, connecting DMCI Homes condos to key hotspots such as educational institutions, central business districts, and office locations.

5.  Full Water Recycling Facility

As part of its unwavering commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, DMCI Homes takes pride in being the country's first developer to invest in modern wastewater management solutions in its condo projects.

While some DMCI Homes condos are already using wastewater from rainwater harvesting and sewage treatment facilities to irrigate gardens, the company is taking its sustainability initiatives further by building projects with full water recycling and treatment capabilities like The Erin Heights in Quezon City.

With the help of in-house experts and professional wastewater management contractors, each condo with this facility is projected to save 180 million liters of Class A, Environmental Management Bureau-certified treated water yearly, which is suitable for general use and maintenance of amenities.

With these innovative services, DMCI Homes is transforming the condo living experience.

Through its unwavering dedication to excellence, sustainability, and fostering community spirit, DMCI Homes is charting a course toward a new era of modern living, like what it has been doing for the past two and a half decades.
