Thirteen renders, captioned honestly

These are DMCI’s own images with the captions they baked into them — which is worth saying, because two of the file names on their site do not match what the picture actually shows. The one labelled “Pool Deck” is captioned Roof Deck; “Picnic Grove” is captioned Picnic Area. They are named here for what is in the frame.

What the site actually looks like

DMCI publishes a monthly completion figure. As of July 2026 Sage stood at 42.22%, up from 33.71% in February 2026 — a little over a point and a half a month. At that pace a 29 February 2028 turnover is a credible date rather than an aspiration. These are DMCI’s site photographs.

Ask Kris for the newest monthly set — DMCI releases one every month, and it is the single best evidence of whether a pre-selling purchase is on track.

Location

760 metres to the MRT. That is the whole pitch.

Sage sits at 14.5802°N, 121.0465°E, in Barangay Mauway — the pocket of Mandaluyong bounded by Shaw, Boni and Pioneer. What follows is DMCI’s own published distance list, and it is the most compact one of any property on this site.

Read the top of that table again. Two MRT stations, five malls, two hospitals and three schools inside two kilometres, with the nearest station a genuine walk rather than a tricycle ride. In a city where the commute is the single largest tax on your life, that is the product. It also puts Ortigas Center, Greenhills, Makati and BGC all within one ride.

The downside, said plainly

You are paying for that address and the price list says so. The small units here run ₱210,000 to ₱253,000 per square metre — the most expensive floor area of any property in this queue, and roughly 10–20% above what the same cut costs at The Erin Heights in Quezon City. Mauway itself is an old, dense inner barangay: the walk to Boni is real, and it is not a landscaped one.

And 5,995 sqm is a tower plot. If you want ground-level open space, this is not it — Kalea Heights has 3.6 hectares of it. Sage gives you the sky deck, the roof deck and the sky lounge, and the city does the rest.

The Building & The Unit Mix

49 levels, and one odd price list

One tower: 49 residential levels over eight basement parking levels. The availability list runs from the 2nd floor upward, skipping the 13th. Lumiventt® sky patios and single-loaded corridors, as with every DMCI high-rise — and on a plot this tight, cross-ventilation is doing more work than usual.

The unit mix, as it stands today

• Studio — 78 available. 31 to 33.5 sqm, ₱6,618,000 to ₱8,058,000.
• 1BR — 46 available. 30 to 32 sqm, ₱6,644,000 to ₱8,092,000.
• 2BR — 191 available. 48 to 84 sqm, ₱8,315,000 to ₱12,798,000. Six in ten of everything left.
• 3BR — 7 available. 78 to 95 sqm, ₱12,579,000 to ₱14,972,000. Six of them are the same 78 sqm layout; there is exactly one 95 sqm unit on the list.

The thing to know before you pick a studio or a 1BR

Look at those first two rows side by side. The studio runs 31–33.5 sqm; the one-bedroom runs 30–32 sqm. At Sage the studio is bigger than the 1BR, and it costs less per square metre — a median of ₱227,456/sqm against ₱234,967. The 1BR is not more space. It is the same space with a wall in it, at a 3% premium.

That wall may be exactly what you want — it is the difference between letting a unit to a couple and letting it to one person, and it matters for resale. But go in knowing you are buying a partition, not floor area. Ask to see both floor plans at the same scale before you choose.

What a peso actually buys

The gap between the small units and the 2BR here is the widest in the queue: ₱234,967 against ₱166,534 per sqm. The cheapest 2BR is 48 sqm at ₱8,315,000 — only ₱1.67M more than the cheapest studio, for 55% more floor area and a second bedroom. If you can reach the 2BR, reach.

And the single best-value square metre in the building is an 84 sqm 2BR at ₱11,919,000 — ₱141,893 per sqm, in the rear southeast stack.

Orientation: four aspects, and they are priced

Unusually, Sage splits four ways rather than two: 102 rear units facing northeast, 77 front facing southwest, 76 front facing northwest and 67 rear facing southeast. On the two-bedroom, median price per sqm runs ₱171,385 southwest, ₱167,017 northwest, ₱166,093 northeast, ₱162,565 southeast — about 5.4% between the dearest and the cheapest aspect.

The southwest front is the premium: it faces the Makati skyline and takes the sunset. The southeast rear is the value: it faces away from the afternoon sun, which in a Mandaluyong tower is a real comfort advantage, and it is where the cheapest floor area sits. If you are buying to let, the southeast rear is the better yield on cost.
