DMCI Homes is strengthening its presence in the premium real estate market with the topping-off of Fortis Residences, the company’s second upscale development under the DMCI Homes Exclusive brand.
Located along Chino Roces Avenue in Makati City, the 37-storey condominium marks a significant milestone for the company as it completes its structural phase. The ceremony, held on October 28, 2025, was led by DMCI Holdings Chairman Isidro A. Consunji, together with DMCI Homes executives.
Designed as a modern landmark of sophistication and success, Fortis Residences embodies DMCI Homes’ vision of offering well-crafted, high-quality homes for a more discerning market.
Upgraded features for discerning buyers
DMCI Homes vice president for project development Dennis Yap said that since its launch in 2022, shortly after the pandemic, Fortis Residences has achieved 14 percent sales take-up.
“We were able to sell around 14 percent of Fortis Residences. The profile we’re targeting is a more discerning market since the finishes here are different from typical DMCI Homes projects. That’s why we’re branding it under DMCI Homes Exclusive,” Yap said.
He noted that the 37-storey development has 576 units, each designed with upgraded features such as air-conditioning, digital door locks, water heaters, and centralized multi-point systems—amenities that elevate the living experience for residents.
Yap also revealed that the average selling price is around ₱250,000 per square meter, which is slightly lower than the market, given the level of inclusions.
The total project cost, which covers both the residential tower and the adjacent office development One Fortis Plaza, is approximately ₱10 billion.
The residential building is set for completion by December 2027, while the office building is scheduled for April 2028.
Best value for money
DMCI Homes President Alfredo Austria said the company decided to pursue Fortis Residences after recognizing strong potential in the upscale market segment.
“While we were conceptualizing the project, we felt that there was a segment with high potential—the upscale market. Even in this segment, we believe we can still offer the best value and quality, given our strengths in design, engineering, and construction,” Austria said.
He added that the upscale buyers of Fortis Residences include professionals, investors, and families who value modern design and convenience. “Some are buying as second homes, while others are purchasing for leasing or investment,” Austria shared.
Meanwhile sales take-up is expected to improve further once key amenities such as the lobby, roof deck, and Sky Deck Pool are completed and presented to potential buyers.
Despite shifting market trends, DMCI chairman Isidro Consunji said the company’s real estate business remains commitment to offering “best value for money.”
“Our concept is always best value for money. At any price point, we believe we are the best in class and the best value for money,” he said.
Following the success of Oak Harbor Residences in Parañaque—the first project under DMCI Homes Exclusive—Fortis Residences reinforces the company’s direction toward developing premium communities that combine luxury, functionality, and enduring value.
DMCI Homes also revealed plans for another DMCI Homes Exclusive development—South Drive Residences in Baguio City, slated for launch next year.
With Fortis Residences now topped off, DMCI Homes continues to prove that its legacy of engineering excellence and innovation extends seamlessly into the country’s growing upscale residential market.
