Transit-oriented developments seen to benefit from government’s infrastructure push

Metro Manila’s expanding transport network is set to boost property values and enhance urban living, with strategically located transit-oriented developments (TODs) among the key beneficiaries. 

According to property research firms, the Philippine government’s ambitious infrastructure program—including the Metro Manila Subway Project, MRT-4, MRT-7, the Malolos-Clark Railway, and the LRT-1 Cavite Extension—will significantly impact the real estate market. 

These projects are expected to make daily commutes more convenient while driving up demand for properties near major transport hubs. 

Colliers Philippines in a news report said that residential developments with seamless access to these infrastructure projects tend to appreciate in value at a faster rate, with home prices in transit-connected areas rising by 3.6% to 7.2% annually from 2016 to 2023. 

Transit-Oriented Living with DMCI Homes 

Quadruple A developer DMCI Homes has long embraced transit-oriented development (TOD), ensuring that its projects provide residents with easy access to key transportation networks. Among these developments are The Calinea Tower, The Erin Heights, The Oriana, Infina Towers, The Valeron Tower, and The Crestmont. 

Quezon City projects like The Erin Heights, The Crestmont, Infina Towers, and The Oriana are strategically located near the upcoming Metro Manila Subway Project, which will run from Valenzuela to Taguig, with an extension to NAIA Terminal 3. Key stations such as Quezon Avenue, Anonas, and Ortigas will provide residents with faster access to major business districts. 

Infina Towers, now ready for occupancy, and the pre-selling development The Oriana—both along Aurora Blvd., Quezon City—also offer convenient access to the LRT-2 Recto Avenue-Masinag, Antipolo line. These condominiums are near the existing Anonas and Katipunan stations, as well as the proposed Anonas station of the upcoming Metro Manila Subway Project. 

The MRT-4, which will run from Ortigas in Quezon City to Taytay, Rizal, on the other hand, will have a Tiendesitas Station just a short walk from The Valeron Tower, providing future residents with a convenient commuting option to Pasig, Mandaluyong, Cainta, and Taytay. 

The Valeron Tower will also benefit from being near several Metro Manila Subway Project stations, including Ortigas, Shaw, Kalayaan Avenue, BGC, and Lawton, ensuring seamless connectivity across Metro Manila. 

For those in northern Metro Manila, the MRT-7 will soon connect North Avenue in Quezon City to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, decongesting Commonwealth Avenue and providing an efficient transit alternative for commuters. The Erin Heights, located along Commonwealth Avenue corner Tandang Sora Avenue, is just steps away from the Tandang Sora Station of MRT-7, offering residents unparalleled accessibility. 

Meanwhile, the Malolos-Clark Railway of the North-South Commuter Railway will link Clark International Airport to Calamba, Laguna, with a Caloocan Station benefiting The Calinea Tower. Also located near LRT-1’s Monumento and SM Grand Central stations, The Calinea Tower is also poised to benefit from the railway’s extension up to Bacoor, Cavite. 

Nearby Communities Also Set to Benefit 

The LRT-1 Cavite Extension is set to enhance connectivity not just for commuters but also for nearby communities. With Dr. A. Santos Station already operational, developments like The Atherton, Calathea Place, and Sonora Garden Residences are seeing improved accessibility.  

The first phase, now operational, includes Dr. A. Santos Station in Parañaque, making travel more convenient for residents of these developments. 

Meanwhile, Sonora Garden Residences in Las Piñas—a joint venture of DMCI Homes and Robinsons Land Corporation—will benefit even more once the Zapote Station of Phase 2 opens, further improving mobility and adding long-term value to the development. 

A Lifestyle of Convenience and Long-Term Value 

Beyond accessibility, these projects align with DMCI Homes’ commitment to building thoughtfully planned communities that enhance urban living. 

With resort-style amenities, spacious designs, and strategic locations, these developments offer homebuyers and investors a lifestyle of convenience and long-term value. 

As Metro Manila’s transport network continues to expand, DMCI Homes remains at the forefront of transit-oriented developments, ensuring that its communities not only offer seamless mobility but also provide promising investment opportunities for years to come.
