Kalea Heights: Celebrating the Cebuano Way of Living

In Cebu, life has always been about balance. People work hard, enjoy the fruits of that labor and share precious moments with family and friends. 

This way of living, as observed in the study “Sugboanong Taras: A Glimpse of Cebuano Personality” published in the Philippine Journal of Psychology (2016), reflects the Cebuano character of being both industrious and joyful. 

Whether it’s a weekend by the beach, an afternoon drive to the mountains, or a simple dinner of lechon and sutukil at home, Cebuanos know how to celebrate life. 

They live well by balancing hard work with moments of joy and staying close to family, community, and nature. 

This vibrant, close-knit, and proudly cultural way of living is exactly what Quadruple A developer DMCI Homes honors with Kalea Heights, its flagship residential project in Cebu City. 

Rising soon along Good Shepherd Road in Barangay Guadalupe, Kalea Heights offers a home that captures the warmth of island living while providing the comforts, conveniences, and prestige of a world-class resort. 

A sanctuary that matches Cebu’s pace 

Life in Cebu is dynamic, fast-moving on the weekdays yet laidback on the weekends. Kalea Heights mirrors this balance. Out of its expansive 4.6-hectare land, 3.6 hectares are devoted to open spaces, the largest allocation for any condominium development in the city. Here, you can retreat into your own quiet sanctuary while still being connected to the buzz of the Queen City of the South.

From the quiet charm of Guadalupe’s neighborhoods to the lively dining and shopping scenes of Escario and Mango Avenue, and the bustling business districts of Cebu Business Park and IT Park, everything is just a few minutes away. 

The community is thoughtfully divided into four districts: Dawn, Dusk, Summit, and Azure—each name echoing the natural beauty that surrounds Kalea Heights’ views from the Sky Park. Dawn reflects the serene glow of sunrise, Dusk captures the warmth of sunsets, Summit celebrates the majesty of the mountains, while Azure mirrors the calmness of the sea. 

Sky Bridges connect these districts to Sky Parks on the roof decks, where residents are welcomed by fresh breezes, lush greenery and sweeping views of the mountains, sea and city skyline. Designed as peaceful sanctuaries above the city, these roof deck parks offer residents a daily escape into nature, whether it’s watching a sunrise, savoring a mountain view, or marveling at the horizon at sunset. 

A community that celebrates everyday living 

For Cebuanos who treasure both work and play, Kalea Heights makes everyday life rewarding.

Swimming pools for family fun, jogging and biking trails for fitness lovers, a pet park for fur parents, an amphitheater for gatherings, indoor and outdoor multi-purpose courts, and lots of open lounges for bonding with friends and neighbors. 

Every space is designed to bring people together the Cebuano way. 

Designed with Cebuanos’ comfort in mind 

Designed for Cebu’s tropical climate, Kalea Heights features DMCI Homes’ proprietary Lumiventt® Design Technology, which maximizes natural light and airflow throughout the buildings. This makes the units cooler, brighter, and more energy-efficient, offering residents a home that is both comfortable and sustainable. 

Beyond comfort, Kalea Heights also makes everyday life more connected. With Community Internet available in each unit and in designated common areas such as lounges, Cebuanos can work, study, or keep in touch with family abroad seamlessly. 

Mobility is also taken care of. Through DMCI Homes’ award-winning RideShare Carpool Program, residents enjoy a safe and convenient way to move around Cebu’s busy roads.
