Frequently Asked Questions
Questions buyers ask
Where is One South Drive located?
One South Drive is on South Drive in Baguio City, in the Cordillera Administrative Region — one of the Philippines' most storied hillside addresses. Baguio City is a chartered city, not part of Benguet province, which is why the DHSUD licence reads DHSUD-CAR-AA-2025/09-012. The estate is about 0.8 km from the Baguio Country Club golf course and 1.0 km from the Baguio Botanical Garden.

Which One South Drive unit is the best value per square metre?
The single 175 sqm 3-Bedroom Deluxe at ₱46,254,000 — ₱264,309 per sqm, the lowest rate on the estate. The 2-Bedroom Deluxe run ₱285,406–₱323,662. The garden-level 2-bedrooms are the dearest at ₱392,040–₱406,717 — so the most expensive unit here is the best value and the cheapest is the worst. Comparing the cheapest of each: ₱12,747,000 more buys 2.2× the floor area at 26% less per square metre.
Is East Crest or West Peak better value?
West Peak, like for like. Thirteen units share the same 112.5 sqm plan across both buildings: West Peak ₱32,545,000–₱33,831,000 (₱289,289–₱300,720/sqm) against East Crest ₱33,517,000–₱36,412,000 (₱297,929–₱323,662). That is ₱972,000 less at the entry and ₱2,581,000 less at the top. West Peak faces the country club fairways; East Crest faces the city panorama and holds all twelve garden-level units plus the only 3-bedroom.
How does One South Drive compare on price with other DMCI properties?
It is the most expensive floor area DMCI sells anywhere — a median of ₱306,782 per sqm across its 35 units, against ₱255,242 at Fortis Residences in Makati, ₱230,000 at Moncello Crest and ₱220,774 at Solmera Coast. Fortis puts you in Makati for less per square metre than this puts you in Baguio. It is a scarcity purchase on an established address, not a value one.
What is the cheapest way into One South Drive?
A 50.5 sqm garden-level 2-bedroom on East Crest’s first floor at ₱19,798,000. There are twelve, and they are the only units under ₱30 million. They are also the highest rate per square metre in the entire DMCI portfolio at ₱392,040 — so treat them as the price of the address, not a bargain. Every unit here turns over June 2029.
