DMCI Homes' leisure brand launches eco-agri condotel near Baguio City

DMCI Homes Leisure Residences, the leisure brand of Quadruple A developer DMCI Homes, is expanding its footprint in northern Luzon following the success of its Solmera Coast property in San Juan, Batangas.

The company has recently launched Moncello Crest, a new residential resort project located in the municipality of Tuba in Benguet.

Moncello Crest is strategically situated just a few minutes' drive from Baguio City, offering residents and investors the cool, refreshing climate of the upland region. 

This new development promises to be a haven for those seeking both a vacation home and a lucrative investment opportunity.

A home away from home

Moncello Crest weds sophistication and comfort in its layout and design. Its name draws from montel, an Italian word for mountain, and the Spanish word ariceli referring to an “altar in the sky.”

Moncello Crest features magnificent views of Benguet’s mountains and a beautiful sunset that’s bound to calm the mind and heart. Stunning flora and fauna surround the property to make it a serene sanctuary. 

Moncello Crest is designed as a mountain resort, complete with amenities like a heated outdoor jacuzzi and fire pits for guests to keep warm amid Benguet’s chill. The complex will host an all-day dining restaurant, café, a game room, a spa, gym, multi-purpose athletics play area, and daycare center, as well as a convention center to host large events. 

A spacious roof deck offers a place for visitors to unwind while admiring the stunning Benguet horizon. 

Inside, Moncello Crest will feature Filipino décor and structures for a culturally immersive experience, with concept design provided by Aedas, a globally renowned architecture firm.

Promising investment

Prospective property buyers will find Moncello Crest worthy of their investment. The condotel provides a good opportunity for individuals to secure a vacation home that doubles as a source of income. 

Under Moncello Crest’s individual rental pool program, property owners can leave their units under the management of a hotel operator to earn rental profits. The units will continue to be owned by its buyers, who in turn get 30% of rental revenues. Assuming a 35% occupancy rate for the property, unit owners at Moncello Crest may earn about P16,300 monthly from a 35-square meter (sq.m.) studio unit and about P42,700 for two-bedroom units according to projections. 

Property owners have the option to avail of the condotel rooms themselves under Leisure Plus, which is DMCI Homes Leisure Residences’ program for complimentary room nights. Unit owners are entitled to stay at Moncello Crest for at least 30 nights a year, depending on the size of their investment and their choice of room. They can also use their complimentary stays at Solmera Coast in San Juan, Batangas as well as in other DMCI Homes Leisure properties in the future. 

Investing at Moncello Crest gives owners the best of both worlds as they can earn from the property on most days and use the units for the occasional breather. Rooms at Moncello Crest will feature uniform furniture and fixtures to offer a relaxing hotel-like experience to visitors with cozy sofa beds and beds, balcony furniture, tables and lamps, and the like.
