Only one unit size exists in both buildings — the 85 sqm 3 Bedroom. That's the only true head-to-head. Everything larger than that is a Shantung decision, because Taffeta has no 3BR above 85 sqm and no 4 Bedroom at all.
Every figure below is the lowest-priced available unit in that type, computed on the standard 12% downpayment term with the 1% discount and ₱30,000 reservation. Prices as of DMCI’s October 1, 2026 availability list.
The head-to-head: 85 sqm 3 Bedroom
Same floor area. Same layout. Two buildings, two turnover dates — and that turnover date is what changes the monthly.
Shantung — 3 Bedroom
Taffeta — 3 Bedroom
That's the whole trade. Shantung hands you the keys in June 2027; Taffeta in August 2028. If you're moving in, Shantung. If you're stretching the cash flow and can wait another 14 months, Taffeta.
Bigger than 85 sqm? That's Shantung only.
Taffeta tops out at 85 sqm for a 3 Bedroom and has no 4 Bedroom. Three larger layouts exist, and all three are in Shantung — with three, one and five units left respectively.
| Unit | List price | Net after 1% | 12% DP | Monthly ×32 | Bank 20yr | Closing | Left |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shantung3BR · 101.5 sqm | ₱16,017,000 | ₱15,856,830 | ₱1,902,820 | ₱58,526 | ₱121,096 | ₱1,522,256 | 3 |
| Shantung3BR · 118 sqm | ₱18,706,000 | ₱18,518,940 | ₱2,222,273 | ₱68,509 | ₱141,426 | ₱1,777,818 | 3 |
| Shantung4BR · 152 sqm | ₱25,386,000 | ₱25,132,140 | ₱3,015,857 | ₱93,308 | ₱191,930 | ₱2,412,685 | 5 |
All three turn over June 2027. Monthly is the 12% downpayment less the ₱30,000 reservation, spread over 32 months. Bank column is the estimated amortization on the 88% balance over 20 years.
See the space before you decide
Shantung and Taffeta are still under construction, so there's no finished unit to walk through yet. These tours were filmed in Alder Residences — DMCI's sister community across the same Acacia Estates township, built with the same unit layouts.
If you can put more down
30% downpayment earns a 4% discount instead of 1%. Same term length — the monthly goes up, the total price and the bank loan both come down.
| Unit | Net after 4% | 30% DP | Monthly | Bank loan (70%) | Bank 20yr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shantung3BR · 85 sqm | ₱11,892,480 | ₱3,567,744 | ₱96,159 ×32 | ₱8,324,736 | ₱72,244 |
| Taffeta3BR · 85 sqm | ₱12,089,280 | ₱3,626,784 | ₱171,275 ×21 | ₱8,462,496 | ₱73,440 |
| Shantung3BR · 101.5 sqm | ₱15,376,320 | ₱4,612,896 | ₱124,783 ×32 | ₱10,763,424 | ₱93,407 |
| Shantung3BR · 118 sqm | ₱17,957,760 | ₱5,387,328 | ₱167,416 ×32 | ₱12,570,432 | ₱109,089 |
| Shantung4BR · 152 sqm | ₱24,370,560 | ₱7,311,168 | ₱198,271 ×32 | ₱17,059,392 | ₱148,045 |
On the 85 sqm Shantung unit the 4% discount saves you ₱371,640 off the price versus the 12% term, and drops the bank loan by ₱2.5M. Whether that beats keeping the cash is your call — I'll run it either way.
What happens next
- Tell me the size and the building — or tell me your monthly budget and I'll tell you which of these five actually fits it.
- I'll check live availability on the exact floor and facing you want. The prices above are the lowest unit in each type; higher floors and front-facing units cost more — the 85 sqm Shantung runs ₱12.39M to ₱13.52M depending on the unit.
- We reserve with ₱30,000. That holds the unit while your documents are prepared.
- Documents — valid IDs, proof of income, TIN. I'll walk you through the whole list.
The 101.5 sqm has three units, the 118 sqm just one, and the 4BR has five. I'm not saying that to rush you — I'm saying it because if one of those is what you want, checking availability is the first call, not the last.
