Four ready-for-occupancy towers on Banyan Road, inside the gated Acacia Estates in Taguig City, with the estate’s town center about a three-minute walk away. The units currently available are 2BR layouts of about 64.5 to 71.5 sqm. Before looking at a unit, it helps to know whether a home you can move into now, in this setting, fits what you are looking for.
This guide works through the questions that come before a unit: what is there, where it sits, how much space the residences offer, and whether a home that is ready now matches your plans. Prices and availability change, so they stay on the project page. This page helps you decide whether it is worth going there.

The quick facts tell you what Alder Residences is. The next questions are whether the setting works for you, whether a 2BR matches your needs, and whether moving in now fits your plans.
Start With the Requirement, Not the Unit
Four things usually decide whether a development deserves more of your time. Settle them first, and every number after this is easier to read.
Budget
Total price, the cash you need at the start, the downpayment and the amount you can set aside each month are four different numbers. A unit can fit one and strain another. Know which one limits you.
Space
How much room do you actually need? The units available here are 2BRs, so the question is whether two bedrooms cover you now and later.
Location
Which places matter to your normal routine? Work, school, family, the hospital you rely on. List them before you look at a map.
Timing
When do you need the property? Here the towers have already been turned over, so the unit is ready now, not years away.
These four questions give you a better basis for evaluating Alder Residences than a general description of the development.
What Is Alder Residences?
Four Finished Towers on Banyan Road
Alder Residences is a DMCI Homes development on a 28,607 sqm site in Acacia Estates, Taguig City, with four residential towers: Andrea, Manzuria, Oregon and Sylvan. Each has 17 to 18 residential levels above two basement parking levels, in a Modern Artisanal style, set among shared amenities, with DMCI Project Developers, Inc. as development manager.
Shared spaces shown in the project images include an amenity core, a lap pool, a children’s play area and a play court.
The important point is that Alder Residences is already built: you are looking at a finished building, not a plan.
That changes how you evaluate it. You can visit the towers and the estate as they are, and the turnover dates are history, not targets. What is left to choose from is narrower: the units still available are 2BRs.
Where Is Alder Residences and What Is Around It?
An Acacia Estates Address in the Context of Taguig City
The address is Banyan Road, Acacia Estates, Taguig City, inside a gated estate. The project’s published key areas list places by name:
| Around you | Places on the published key areas list |
|---|---|
| Inside the estate | Acacia Estates Towncenter, about a three-minute walk |
| Shopping | SM Savemore · Grace Mall · Vista Mall · SM Aura · Venice Grand Canal Mall · Market! Market! · Uptown Mall · Bonifacio High Street |
| Education | MINT College · Enderun Colleges · Treston International College · Integrated Montessori · The British School Manila · Colegio San Agustin – Makati · Assumption College |
| Healthcare | Medical Center Taguig · St. Luke’s Medical Center – BGC · Makati Medical Center |
| Destinations | Bonifacio Global City · Ortigas Center · NAIA |
The useful question is not simply whether Alder Residences is near important places. It is whether the location works with the places that matter to you.
The defining feature is the estate itself: a gated community with its own town center a short walk from home. BGC, Makati and Ortigas Center are destinations you travel to, not your doorstep.
The published list gives names, not distances, so check the places in your own routine on the map.
What Does the Space Look Like?
Is a 2BR the Right Size for You?
All 3BR units are sold, so the units currently available are 2BRs. This is how they line up by tower:
| Tower | Turnover | Currently available |
|---|---|---|
| Manzuria | September 2024 | 2BR 64.5 – 67 sqm |
| Oregon | March 2025 | 2BR 67 – 71.5 sqm |
| Sylvan | December 2025 | 2BR 64.5 – 71.5 sqm |
| Andrea | — | None in the current list |
Within that, the sizes are close: about 64.5 to 71.5 sqm. The choice is less about how much space and more about which tower, floor and layout suit you, since every available unit has two bedrooms of their own, with a shared living and dining area and kitchen.
The useful question is not which unit is “best.” It is whether two bedrooms make sense for how you expect to use the property.
What Matters Before You Compare?
Don’t Compare Condos on Price Alone
Price gives you one number. It does not tell you everything you need to know. Read it alongside five others:
- Total price — what the unit costs in full.
- Floor area — how much space that price buys.
- ₱/sqm — total price divided by floor area. It lets you compare units of different sizes on the same footing.
- Payment structure — what is due at the start, how the downpayment is spread, and how the balance is financed.
- Readiness — a unit you can use now against one you would wait for. That gap has a value of its own.
- Location — what the address puts within reach. No price list shows it.
A lower headline price does not automatically mean a lower cost per square metre, or a better fit for your requirements. Comparing a ready unit here with a pre-selling unit elsewhere means comparing timing too, not only the numbers.
These figures move with inventory, so this guide does not quote them. For current numbers, move to the Alder Residences project page and evaluate the actual unit you are considering. See current figures →
Who Is Alder Residences Likely to Fit?
Start With the Characteristics
Fit depends on your requirements, not on a type of buyer. Five questions cover it:
Location
Does a gated estate in Taguig, with its own town center a short walk away, fit your routine?
Space
Does a 2BR of about 64.5 to 71.5 sqm cover your requirement?
Timing
Do you want a home you can move into now, rather than wait for?
Budget
Can a currently available unit fit what you are prepared to allocate, at the start and each month?
Development
Do four towers with shared amenities inside a gated estate suit how you want to live?
For example, the project may be relevant to someone who wants a 2BR they can move into now, inside a gated estate, with BGC, Makati and Ortigas Center within reach.
If the characteristics that matter most to you line up with the project, Alder Residences deserves a closer look.
Who Should Compare Other Projects?
Alder Residences Does Not Have to Fit Everyone
- You need a 3BR or more room. All 3BR units are sold, and the available 2BRs top out at about 71.5 sqm. If you need more, compare projects with larger layouts.
- You want a smaller unit. There are no Studios or 1BRs in the current list. If you need something more compact, compare.
- You would rather buy pre-selling. Here the units are ready, so there is no long build period before turnover. If you want that runway, compare pre-selling projects.
- You want a single-tower address, or to live inside BGC or Makati. Alder is four towers in a gated estate. If you want something else, compare.
- Your deciding factor is something else. If one criterion outweighs the rest, such as the lowest ₱/sqm, compare on that factor across projects first.
The purpose of comparison is not to find a universal winner. It is to understand which option fits the requirements you actually have. Compare DMCI Homes Projects Side by Side →
Your Alder Residences Shortlist
What Should You Explore Next?
- If timing is your starting point, look at the units available now and arrange a visit to see the finished towers.
- If space is your starting point, compare the 2BR sizes by tower above, then the unit layouts on the project page.
- If location is your starting point, check the estate and the places in your routine on the location map.
- If budget is your starting point, look at the units currently available and how their payments are structured.
At this point, the question is no longer simply “Do I like the project?” It is “Does the project continue to fit my requirements after I look at the actual information?”
