The Consunji-led DMCI Homes is preparing a long-term expansion of its 130-hectare Acacia Estates township in Taguig City, starting with the redevelopment of its Town Center as the property developer seeks to unlock more value from one of its largest master-planned communities.
The redevelopment marks the first phase of a broader upscaling program that will introduce new commercial, recreational, and community facilities while paving the way for future residential and mixed-use developments across the estate.
At the center of the project is the transformation of the existing Town Center into a larger commercial hub anchored by a new supermarket, upgraded retail spaces, landscaped dining areas, a central plaza, and an activity park.
The project is intended to improve everyday convenience for residents while increasing the township’s long-term attractiveness to future buyers and investors.
Development will be implemented in three phases, with major construction expected to continue through 2028. The supermarket is projected to open around 2030, subject to planning and regulatory approvals.
The first phase will involve dismantling The Tent and the existing Commercial Promenade to prepare the site for the new commercial complex.
Beyond retail expansion, the redevelopment will introduce open-air dining spaces designed to encourage community interaction, alongside a Central Plaza that will host events, seasonal activities and public gatherings.
An adjacent Activity Park will provide additional recreational facilities for residents.
DMCI Homes said the redevelopment reflects its strategy of continuously enhancing mature townships rather than focusing solely on new residential launches.
Acacia Estates, established in 2007, is home to around 25,000 residents and still has more than 63 hectares available for future development.
More than 30 hectares remain under consideration for additional projects, while the rest have been allocated for parks, open areas and shared community spaces.
Approximately 60 percent of the township is dedicated to green and open spaces, a feature that has long distinguished Acacia Estates from higher-density developments in Metro Manila.
The developer said the long-term plan aims to balance commercial expansion with environmental preservation while improving accessibility, amenities, and quality of life for residents.
Through the Town Center redevelopment and future projects, DMCI Homes expects Acacia Estates to evolve into a more self-sustaining township that combines residential living with expanded commercial services, recreation and community facilities.
