Save half of the usual commuting time going to work or walk leisurely to your office.  Play around with your kids in the pool. Jog alone or run around the paths with your pet. Sweat it out in the gym or relish a deep slumber in your unit after a fun-filled night with friends.

These are some of the comforts offered by condo living that have captivated the southern part of the Philippine archipelago.

Whether for young professionals, a start-up family or retirees, condominiums are increasingly becoming a housing option of choice in the flourishing City of Davao, further fueling the property boom in the area.

It is a trend that is seen to persist in the coming years as more residents are embracing vertical living as reflected by the occupants of DMCI Homes’ development along Ecoland Drive corner Peacock Street in Davao City—Verdon Parc.

The three-hectare development has posted robust sales with most of its eager buyers coming from Davao del Sur and neighboring provinces of North and South Cotabato.

After all, who wouldn’t want to live in a serviced resort-like community that is accessible to practically everything in Davao City?

DMCI Homes has completed its Asteria Residences development in Dr. A. Santos Avenue (formerly Sucat Road) in Parañaque City, with the early turnover of its final building, Cercis, late June this year.

The turnover of Cercis building which is originally set for occupancy in November 2018 concludes the construction of the seven-midrise building condominium project that was launched in 2014.

Like Cercis, the first six buildings of the 2.7-hectare development namely Vinca, Nerine, Mimosa, Lucerne, Begonia, and Heather were also successively turned over earlier than committed schedule, further bolstering the reputation of DMCI Homes as a developer that delivers projects on or ahead of time.

With its strategic location near the San Antonio Valley II Subdivision, the neo-Asian minimalist themed-development was an easy sell to the upgrading market in the highly residential area as well as families based in the provinces of Laguna and Cavite looking for a half-way home near business centers in Metro Manila.

DMCI Homes, the country’s first Quadruple A developer, is set to top off the second building of Sheridan Towers development in Pasig this July, putting it on course for turnover in May 2020.

As of June, the 43-residential level North Tower is already 46 percent complete and is poised to reach its full height this July.

The South Tower of the two-tower development in Sheridan Street, Pasig City was turned over earlier in September 2017, over a year ahead of its committed ready for occupancy (RFO) date of November 2018.

Located near the boundary of Pasig and Mandaluyong City, Sheridan Towers offers a sanctuary in the middle of the urban jungle with its genuine resort and country-club feel.

Both towers are already sold out amidst big demand for residential condo units in the area especially from young professionals and startup families working in Makati, Mandaluyong, Ortigas, and BGC.
