DMCI Homes, the residential arm of engineering conglomerate DMCI Holdings Inc., is embarking on a massive upscaling of its 130-hectare Acacia Estates in Taguig City, beginning with a ₱4.5 billion redevelopment of its commercial core.
In a briefing, Alfredo Austria, DMCI Homes president, said the initiative aims to double the township’s residential capacity to 20,000 units over the coming years while maintaining the low-density, suburban atmosphere that has defined the estate for nearly two decades.
“Acacia Estates has been one of Metro Manila’s best-kept secrets for almost 20 years now. This upscaling initiative is designed to sustain the township’s growth, improve connectivity, expand amenities, and enhance the overall living experience while preserving the suburban character that residents value,” Austria said.
Slated to be in full swing by 2028, the infrastructure and amenity upscaling initiatives alongside expansion plans for Acacia Estates are aimed at enhancing long-term livability and supporting the township’s future growth by refining shared spaces and expanding resident-oriented amenities.
The Town Center at Acacia Estates (TCAE) will be transformed into a vibrant community hub, featuring a two-storey commercial strip, supermarket, and al-fresco dining spaces, complemented by a central plaza, promenade, activity stage, and upgraded landscaped areas.
Austria said the commercial strip will have two 18-storey residential towers built on top, while the supermarket will be moved to the back to make way for a promenade, central plaza, and an activity center.
"We are really proud of this project (Acacia Estates). Its a project that cannot be replicated anymore, there is no more space like this around Metro Manila. This is the best value for money for this product," said DMCI Chairman Isidro A. Consunji.
Key infrastructure works for the upscaling of Acacia Estates include upgrades to internal access roads to improve mobility across condominium communities and connect residents more efficiently to essential services and communal facilities.
These enhancements support the township’s walkable layout and strengthen overall accessibility within Acacia Estates.
Amenity expansions include additional parks and nature-oriented leisure spaces, an expanded plant nursery supporting greening initiatives, upgraded open fields and activity zones, as well as an Eco-Center, Rain Garden, and refinements to The Tent and other multipurpose venues serving as communal gathering spaces.
Acacia Estates spans almost 130 hectares, with over 66 hectares already developed and more than 63 hectares still available for future growth.
The township currently hosts 14 residential projects, a mix of condominium and house-and-lot developments, totaling more than 10,000 units and accommodating approximately 25,000 residents.
DMCI Homes is targeting to eventually double the number of units to 20,000 while still maintaining its average of 10 square meters per resident.
The firm is exploring ways to further grow the township through future developments. With over 63 hectares of undeveloped land, more than 30 hectares are now being considered for future projects, and the remaining area is envisioned for community-shared spaces.
“Acacia Estates will continue to grow thoughtfully while preserving its signature suburban charm, with 60 percent of the estate dedicated to open and green spaces,” Austria said.
