The Community

A Modern Artisanal Sanctuary

Set on a sprawling 28,607-square-meter estate in the master-planned Acacia Estates, Alder Residences is DMCI Homes' Modern Artisanal community — four high-rise buildings of 17–18 residential levels each (Andea, Manzuria, Oregon and Sylvan) wrapped around landscaped gardens, a resort pool with water slides, and a dedicated co-working space.

Now Ready for Occupancy, with 3 units on DMCI’s October 1, 2026 list — all two-bedrooms in Sylvan, and all three marked On Hold, 67–70.5 sqm from ₱9,817,000. SM Aura Premier is 3.18 km, Market! Market! 3.49 km, UP BGC 3.62 km and St. Luke's Medical Center BGC 4.36 km.

There are 3 units on DMCI’s October 1, 2026 availability list for Alder Residences, all in Sylvan and all three marked On Hold. Their turnover date is December 2025 — already past.

Location · Banyan Road, Acacia Estates

Inside a gated estate,
on the quiet side of Taguig

Alder Residences sits on Banyan Road inside Acacia Estates — DMCI's own master-planned community in Taguig, off the Bicutan side of the city rather than the BGC side. That distinction is the whole character of the address: you are inside a gated estate with its own supermarket and shuttle, twenty minutes from BGC rather than in it.

Daily life happens inside the gates. SM Savemore Acacia Estates is 360 metres away, Taguig City Hall 0.86 km, Puregold Taguig 0.94 km and Medical Center Taguig 1.12 km. DMCI runs a van shuttle service from the estate, which on a site this far from a main road is not a garnish.

The BGC belt is a short drive rather than a walk. SM Aura Premier is 3.18 km and Market! Market! 3.49 km; UP Bonifacio Global City is 3.62 km, International School Manila 3.87 km and The British School Manila 4.07 km, with S&R BGC at 4.28 km and St. Luke's Medical Center BGC at 4.36 km. For a household with children in the BGC international schools, that cluster is the reason to be here rather than the reason not to be.

Further out: Manila Golf and Country Club 4.34 km, SM City Bicutan 4.71 km, Rizal Medical Center 4.75 km, University of Makati 4.83 km and Newport City 5.50 km. NAIA Terminal 3 is 5.94 km.

Distances as published by DMCI Homes on the Alder Residences project page. Straight-line approximations — actual travel time depends on route and traffic.

The honest part

Acacia Estates is a car estate. The nearest rail is MRT-3 Guadalupe at 5.68 km and there is no walkable alternative; the estate shuttle helps but it runs on a timetable, not on demand. Everything out of here funnels onto the same estate road and then into Taguig's southern traffic. If you commute daily without a car, this address will wear you down.

It is also genuinely suburban in feel. That is the appeal for a family — gates, greenery, a supermarket you can walk to, schools a short drive away — and the drawback for anyone who wants to walk out to a restaurant strip. There is nothing to walk to but the estate itself.

If you want to be inside BGC rather than near it, Fortis Residences is the DMCI address in Makati and Mulberry Place is the other option in this same estate — larger inventory, but pre-selling until 2027–28. If your budget stops short of ₱9.82M, The Oriana and Allegra Garden Place both sell finished two-bedrooms for less.

How Alder Compares

Alder against Mulberry Place, its neighbour

Mulberry Place is the other DMCI community in Acacia Estates — same developer, same master-planned estate, the same roads in and out. It is the comparison that actually decides this purchase, and on DMCI’s October 1, 2026 availability list both are selling two-bedrooms.

₱9,896per sqm cheaper than Mulberry

Alder's floor area is ₱146,522 per square metre against Mulberry's ₱156,418 — about 6.3% less — and Alder is finished while all but four Mulberry two-bedrooms on the list turn over between June 2027 and October 2028.

Unit for unit: Mulberry's cheapest two-bedroom, Paisley 602, is 57.5 sqm at ₱8,797,000 and turns over this month. Alder's cheapest, Sylvan 504, is 67 sqm at ₱9,817,000. ₱1,020,000 more buys 9.5 more square metres at a lower rate per square metre — against Mulberry's other two-bedrooms, which turn over in 2027–28, it also buys keys now.

What Mulberry has is choice: 416 two-bedrooms against Alder's 3, in a wider size range and starting lower. If your budget stops below ₱9.82M, or you want a specific floor, orientation or building, Alder simply will not have it — there are three units, all on hold, and no more coming.

Figures computed from DMCI’s October 1, 2026 availability list. Median price per square metre is the median across every publishable available two-bedroom at each property, before any promo discount. Both estates qualify for the Modified Third Quarter Deals; Alder, being finished, qualifies for Home Advance rent-to-own, and at Mulberry only the finished towers do.

Building levels as published by DMCI Homes. Unit counts from DMCI’s October 1, 2026 availability list. Note that DMCI classifies Alder as High Rise Condominiums — at 17–18 residential levels these are not mid-rises.

What is actually left

Three units, all two-bedrooms, all in Sylvan — and all three marked On Hold. Two are 67 sqm and one is 70.5 sqm. Prices run ₱9,817,000 to ₱10,202,000. Oregon, Manzuria and Andea have nothing on the list. In September there were fifteen; Alder’s prices also rose about 5% on October 1.

This is the tail of a sold-out project, not a release. DMCI completed and handed Alder over between 2024 and 2025, and the turnover date on the remaining units is December 2025 — already past. There is no next building and no new phase.

The price-per-square-metre read

Per square metre the three units run ₱143,433 to ₱152,269, with a median of ₱146,522 — a 6.2% spread.

₱295,000 more than the cheapest unit buys 3.5 more square metres. Sylvan 504 is the outright cheapest at ₱9,817,000 for 67 sqm, or ₱146,522/sqm. Sylvan 306 is 70.5 sqm at ₱10,112,000, or ₱143,433/sqm — the cheapest floor area left in the community.

At the other end, Sylvan 1110 is 67 sqm at ₱10,202,000, or ₱152,269/sqm — the dearest floor area on the list, for an 11th-floor unit.

Against the neighbouring estate, Alder's floor area is the cheaper of the two. ₱146,522/sqm here against ₱156,418/sqm at Mulberry Place, on the same Acacia Estates address — and Alder is finished while all but four Mulberry two-bedrooms turn over between June 2027 and October 2028.

Orientation and stacks

All three are rear units facing south-west. The south-west rear units take the later sun, which the Lumiventt Sky Patio cut-throughs in DMCI's building features are there to mitigate. On an 18-storey building surrounded by low-rise estate housing, the upper south-west floors are the ones with the long view.

Every building has two basement parking levels. Parking is transacted separately from the unit; on a car-dependent estate this far from rail, budget for it.

What earns its keep

The amenity core is genuinely large. Three pools — lap, leisure and kiddie with water slides — a play court, a children's play area, a picnic area, a tree court and a jogging and biking path, on a 28,607 sqm estate shared by four buildings. This is the opposite of the tight urban towers elsewhere in the DMCI catalogue: there is room here, and DMCI used it.

The van shuttle service. On an estate 5.68 km from the nearest rail, a scheduled shuttle is a real piece of infrastructure rather than an amenity-list item. Ask what the current timetable is — it changes.

A co-working space, and Sky Patios that work. The co-working room matters on an estate where the commute is the weak point. And DMCI lists Sky Patio (Lumiventt Technology) in Alder's building features — the two-storey cut-throughs that move air across the floor plate, which on an 18-storey building surrounded by open estate is doing real work.

It is finished, and that unlocks Home Advance. Rent-to-own is only available on completed properties. Mulberry Place, across the estate, cannot offer it until 2027 at the earliest.

What is oversold

“Minutes from BGC” is a car claim. BGC's schools and hospital are 3.6–4.4 km, which is ten minutes at 6am and considerably longer at 7:30. There is no train and the estate has one way out.

“Pool water slides” is a kiddie-pool feature — a short slide into the shallow basin, as at every DMCI project. Good for a five-year-old, irrelevant to anyone else.

The amenity list counts the same central space several times. Landscaped gardens, tree court, picnic area, open lawn and pool deck are parts of one amenity core, not five separate places. It is a good core; count it once.

The Laguna de Bay view belongs to some units, not the estate. DMCI's own aerial photography shows the water in the distance, and it is real from the upper floors on the right side of the building. Ask which way a specific unit faces and go and look before you price it in.

Ready Now, Three Ways

Alder against the other two ready-now options

Alder Residences, Allegra Garden Place, and The Oriana's North Tower are all finished, occupied DMCI communities on the same 12% downpayment terms. Here's the cheapest available 2-Bedroom from each, side by side — and where Alder actually wins and loses against the other two.

Alder's 2-Bedroom is the biggest of the three by a wide margin — 67–70.5 sqm against 55 and 54.5 — which is why it carries the highest list price and the highest price per sqm. If floor area is what you're optimizing for, this is the one.

What it doesn't have is depth of inventory. 2-Bedroom is the only unit type Alder still has open for reservation, and there are 3 units left, all marked On Hold. Allegra and Oriana North both still carry Studio-through-3BR selection behind their 2-Bedroom listing. If Alder's floorplan doesn't fit your budget or headcount, Allegra's lower price per sqm and Oriana's lowest move-in cash-out are both live alternatives on the same 12% terms.

Figures use each property's lowest-priced available 2-Bedroom as of this page's build date, on 12% downpayment / 32 months / 1% discount / ₱30,000 reservation. For October 2026 reservations DMCI’s Christmas Countdown adds a further 1.5% to that discount at Alder and Allegra (The Oriana is not included); the calculator shows the exact figures. HomeAdvance rent-to-own terms are per DMCI Memo PD-26-09-012, valid through December 31, 2026, and apply to all three properties — The Oriana's South Tower is excluded.

Payment Terms Compared

12% Spot DP vs 5% Low Spot DP vs Home Advance

Three ways into the same unit at Alder Residences. The 5% low spot downpayment is the lightest entry cost of the year — and it hands the bank ₱587,057 more to carry, which at an indicative 8.5% over 20 years works out to about ₱5,095 more every month, or roughly ₱1,222,707 more paid over the term. Home Advance keeps the smaller loan, carries the lightest monthly downpayment of the three, and is the only one that gets you into the unit before the bank releases anything.

  • 12% spot DP — one payment, bank carries 88%. Move in after bank drawdown. No discount applies to a single spot payment; the 1% is tied to spreading the same 12% over 32 months, and DMCI’s standard ladder goes further — 30% down takes 4% off, 40% takes 5%, 50% takes 6%. See the full ladder.
  • 5% low spot DP — 2% discount, payable over 12 months, but the bank then carries 95%, so the amortization is the highest of the three. Chinabank or BPI only.
  • Home Advance 12% / 32 — 1% discount, downpayment over 32 months, bank carries 88%, and you can move in from month 4, before drawdown. Lowest long-run amortization.

You own the unit from Day 1 on all three — the Home Advance lease buys occupancy of a unit already in your name, not a chance to buy it later. The full three-way breakdown, computed on a real unit →

Alder Residences qualifies for the DMCI Homes Home Advance (Rent-to-Own) program. Move into your unit and lease it while you complete payment — instead of waiting for full bank financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions buyers ask

Where exactly is Alder Residences located?

Alder Residences is on Banyan Road inside Acacia Estates, Taguig City — DMCI's master-planned estate off the C-6 / Bicutan side of Taguig. SM Savemore Acacia Estates is 360 metres away inside the estate, Taguig City Hall 0.86 km, Puregold Taguig 0.94 km and Medical Center Taguig 1.12 km. SM Aura Premier is 3.18 km, Market! Market! 3.49 km, UP Bonifacio Global City 3.62 km, International School Manila 3.87 km, The British School Manila 4.07 km and St. Luke's Medical Center BGC 4.36 km. The nearest rail is MRT-3 Guadalupe at 5.68 km, and NAIA Terminal 3 is 5.94 km.

Is Alder Residences ready for occupancy?

Yes. All four buildings are complete and handed over — the units still on DMCI's availability list carry a December 2025 turnover date, already past, and DMCI has publicly announced the project's completion. Because it is finished, Alder qualifies for DMCI's Home Advance rent-to-own scheme, which the pre-selling towers at neighbouring Mulberry Place do not.

What unit types and sizes are available at Alder Residences right now?

Two-bedrooms only, and very few. DMCI's October 1, 2026 availability list has 3 units, all 2-Bedroom and all in Sylvan: two at 67 sqm and one at 70.5 sqm, priced from ₱9,817,000 to ₱10,202,000. All three are marked On Hold, so ask Ina whether any can be released. Oregon, Manzuria and Andea have nothing on the list. DMCI built 2BR, 3BR and 4BR here and its published full price range still runs to ₱21,178,000, but no three- or four-bedroom is available to reserve.

How much is a unit at Alder Residences?

Two-bedrooms run from ₱9,817,000 to ₱10,202,000 on DMCI's October 1, 2026 availability list, across 3 listed units of 67 to 70.5 sqm, all marked On Hold. Per square metre that is ₱143,433 to ₱152,269, with a median of ₱146,522. Alder's prices rose about 5% on October 1. Those are DMCI list prices before any promo discount; closing fees are exclusive and parking is transacted separately.

Which unit at Alder Residences is the best value?

Sylvan 306 — 70.5 sqm at ₱10,112,000, or ₱143,433 per square metre, the cheapest floor area left in the community. The outright cheapest unit is Sylvan 504, 67 sqm at ₱9,817,000 and ₱146,522 per square metre, so ₱295,000 more buys 3.5 more square metres at a 2.1% lower rate per metre. Both are marked On Hold on DMCI's October 1 list — confirm availability with Ina first.

Is Alder Residences cheaper than Mulberry Place?

Per square metre, yes. On DMCI's October 1, 2026 availability list Alder's two-bedrooms have a median of ₱146,522/sqm against Mulberry Place's ₱156,418/sqm — about 6.3% less, on the same Acacia Estates address. Unit for unit: Mulberry's cheapest two-bedroom is Paisley 602, 57.5 sqm at ₱8,797,000 (₱152,991/sqm); Alder's cheapest is Sylvan 504, 67 sqm at ₱9,817,000 (₱146,522/sqm). So ₱1,020,000 more at Alder buys 9.5 more square metres at a lower rate per metre, and keys now against the 2027–28 turnover of almost every Mulberry two-bedroom. What Mulberry has instead is choice: 416 two-bedrooms against Alder's 3, all of which are on hold.

Why is Alder Residences' 2-Bedroom the only unit type left to reserve?

Because the rest has sold. Alder Residences has 3 units on DMCI's October 1, 2026 list, all 2-Bedroom in the Sylvan building and all marked On Hold — no Studio, 1-Bedroom, 3-Bedroom or 4-Bedroom, and nothing in Oregon, Manzuria or Andea. The project was completed and handed over between 2024 and 2025, and what remains is the tail of the inventory rather than a fresh release. There are three units and no more coming.

How does Alder Residences compare to Allegra Garden Place and The Oriana for a ready-now 2-Bedroom?

All three are finished DMCI communities on the same 12% downpayment terms. Alder's cheapest 2BR is Sylvan 504 — 67 sqm at ₱9,817,000, or ₱146,522/sqm. Allegra Garden Place's is Soraya 309 — 55 sqm at ₱7,748,000, or ₱140,873/sqm. The Oriana North Tower's is North 405 — 54.5 sqm at ₱7,501,000, or ₱137,633/sqm. Alder's two-bedroom is the biggest of the three by twelve square metres, which is why it carries the highest price and the highest rate per metre. What it lacks is depth: 3 units, all on hold, against 394 two-bedrooms at Allegra and 604 at The Oriana, both of which still offer studio-through-3BR selection.

Is Alder Residences available for rent-to-own (Home Advance)?

Yes. Alder Residences qualifies for DMCI Homes' Home Advance (Rent-to-Own) program, so you can move in now and pay your balance later instead of waiting for full bank financing. Monthly HomeAdvance lease starts at PHP 15,500 for a 2-Bedroom. To pre-qualify you complete 4 months of downpayment, either paid in advance or monthly (qualifying after the 4th payment). Promo validity October 1 to December 31, 2026, per DMCI memo PD-26-09-012. Note that this is only possible because Alder is finished — the pre-selling towers at Mulberry Place cannot offer it.

How much is the Home Advance / Rent-to-Own monthly and move-in cost at Alder Residences?

At Alder Residences the monthly HomeAdvance lease rate for a 2-Bedroom — the only unit type currently listed — is from PHP 15,500/month, with a one-time move-in cash-out of PHP 59,000. That cash-out is 1 month advance rental plus 2 months security deposit plus a PHP 12,500 utility deposit; PMO turnover fees (joining fee and water service deposit) are free under the promo. Minimum lease is 6 months.

What is a reopened unit at Alder Residences?

A reopened unit is previously sold inventory returned to the availability list after a sale falls through — a buyer withdraws, or financing is not approved. They are usually reinstated at their original contract price, which is why they can price below newer stock that has been adjusted upward since launch. They appear and disappear without notice and there is normally only one of any given layout, so if a reopened unit suits you it is worth acting on the same week. Ask Ina for the current reopened list rather than relying on any page, including this one.

Do I own the unit from Day 1 under Home Advance at Alder Residences, or am I just renting it?

You are the buyer from Day 1. Home Advance at Alder Residences is not a rent-first arrangement — you reserve and sign a Contract to Sell on that specific unit before any occupancy begins, and every peso of your downpayment is equity in that purchase. The unit leaves the market the day you reserve and your price is locked at your contract price. There is no later conversion step and no separate approval needed to make you an owner, because you already are one; the only approval remaining is the bank loan on the balance, which every buyer on every payment term goes through. The Home Advance lease covers occupancy of a unit you have already bought while the balance is processed for bank drawdown, and that lease payment is not credited to the purchase — your ownership runs on the downpayment, in parallel.

What is the difference between the 12% spot downpayment, the 5% low spot downpayment and Home Advance at Alder Residences?

On Sylvan 504, a 67 sqm 2BR at Alder Residences listed at ₱9,817,000: the 12% spot downpayment asks ₱1,178,040 in one payment and leaves a bank loan of ₱8,638,960. The 5% low spot downpayment needs ₱67,586 to start and ₱37,586 a month for 12 months, but leaves a bank loan of ₱9,139,627. Home Advance needs ₱65,508 to start and ₱35,508 a month for 32 months, and leaves the smallest bank loan of the three at ₱8,552,570 — about ₱5,095 a month less than the 5% route at an indicative 8.5% over 20 years. Figures use the standard 1% discount; October reservations add a further 1.5% on top of it. Final figures are confirmed at reservation.
