Quadruple A developer DMCI Homes is entering Cebu’s property market with an engineer's mindset, as it aims to offer residential spaces designed for quality, efficiency, and superior value. 

 

As the property arm of DMCI Holdings, Inc., a publicly listed conglomerate renowned in the field of engineering and construction, DMCI Homes harnesses its expertise to deliver superior value through innovative building techniques, precision engineering, and strategic resource management. 

 

With engineers leading the way, DMCI Homes sees homebuilding not just as real estate development, but as a professional responsibility to provide superior value to homebuyers.

“Our business is really to create value, to have the best quality, and the best price always. Our Chairman (Isidro A. Consunji) is an engineer, our founder (David M. Consunji) is an engineer, we have plenty of engineers, and I think that’s how engineers think. If you cannot provide better value, then maybe you're not being true to your profession,” said DMCI Homes President Alfredo R. Austria, also an engineer by profession. 

 

Distinct Approach 

 

Austria said Kalea Heights, DMCI Homes’ first project in Cebu City, is a prime example of this philosophy at work. 

 

Unlike most condominiums in Cebu that prioritize maximizing units over open spaces, Kalea Heights takes a different approach. The 4.6-hectare development dedicates 3.6 hectares to open spaces—the largest in any Cebu condominium project and within DMCI Homes’ portfolio.

By combining engineering precision with a value driven approach, DMCI Homes ensures that homeowners receive the best possible living experience, one that emphasizes space, comfort, sustainability, and long-term investment potential. 

 

With unit turnovers scheduled to begin in December 2029, Kalea Heights stands as a testament to DMCI Homes’ dedication to delivering superior value through engineering excellence, reshaping how condominium living should be in Cebu City. 

 

Kalea Heights is one of the developments of DMCI Homes, renowned for building quality resort-inspired communities in Mega Manila, Baguio City, Boracay, and Davao City. Each of its properties is built with world-standard craftsmanship borne from D.M. Consunji Inc.’s over 70 years of expertise in the construction and development industry.
