The Camden
Place

The Camden Place is on Dominga Street in Malate, Manila — the block behind Taft Avenue. De La Salle–College of St. Benilde is 310 metres away, St. Scholastica's College Manila 300 metres and De La Salle University Manila 550 metres. Manila Adventist Medical Center is 650 m, Harrison Plaza 790 m, the Cultural Center of the Philippines 1.26 km, Makati Medical Center 1.93 km, UP Manila 1.95 km, Robinsons Place Manila 2.17 km and Greenbelt in Makati 2.91 km.

The units on the current availability list carry a March 2025 turnover date and DMCI has publicly reported that unit acceptance is underway at the building. DMCI's own project page, however, still shows the status label "Under Construction", with its published site progress reaching 91.76% in February 2025 and photographs to March 2025. In practice this means units are being turned over — but confirm the handover status of the specific unit you are reserving before you sign, because the developer's own label and its turnover schedule do not currently agree.

Studios only. All 17 units on the September 2026 DMCI availability list are studios: three at 24 sqm (₱5,335,000–₱5,420,000), twelve at 25 sqm (₱5,514,000–₱5,651,000) and two at 26 sqm (₱5,775,000 and ₱5,798,000). DMCI built Studio, 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom units here and its published full price range still runs to ₱10,217,000, but no one- or two-bedroom is on the current list. Every available unit is an inner unit, and the available unit numbers run from 1711 to 3408 — what is left sits high in the tower.

For new units, yes. On the September 2026 availability list, The Camden Place is the only DMCI Homes property in the City of Manila with any units available. Torre de Manila, Sorrel Residences and Illumina Residences Manila are all at zero. If you want to buy a new DMCI unit inside Manila itself, these seventeen studios are the entire choice.

Studios run from ₱5,335,000 to ₱5,798,000 on the September 2026 DMCI availability list, across 17 available units of 24 to 26 sqm. Per square metre that is ₱220,560 to ₱226,040, with a median of ₱224,080. Those are DMCI list prices before any promo discount; closing fees are exclusive and parking is transacted separately.

Camden 1906 — 25 sqm at ₱5,514,000, or ₱220,560 per square metre, the lowest rate in the building. The entry unit, Camden 1711 at 24 sqm and ₱5,335,000, works out at ₱222,292/sqm. So ₱179,000 more than the cheapest unit buys a full extra square metre and a lower rate per metre — and on a 24 sqm studio, one square metre is about 4% more living space.

Because the price list is unusually flat. Across all 17 available units the price per square metre spans only ₱220,560 to ₱226,040 — a 2.5% spread — and the cash spread is ₱463,000, or 8.7%. Camden 1711 on the 17th floor and Camden 3408 on the 34th are ₱316,000 apart, roughly ₱20,000 a floor. The practical consequence is that you are not choosing a price band at Camden, you are choosing a view and an orientation, so shop it that way.

Ten of the seventeen available units are rear units facing north-west and seven are rear units facing south-east; all are inner units. North-west is the Manila Bay side — the sunset orientation, with the open view over the bay and the CCP complex from the upper floors this list is drawn from. South-east faces inland toward Makati, giving morning light and the Makati skyline at night. With the price list as flat as it is, orientation is the main thing worth deciding.

Camden's studios are the smallest DMCI sells anywhere except Anissa Heights, and among the dearest per square metre. Camden: 24–26 sqm from ₱5,335,000 at ₱224,080/sqm. Anissa Heights (Pasay): 16–26 sqm from ₱3,160,500 at ₱185,571/sqm. The Oriana (Quezon City): 30–30.5 sqm from ₱5,105,000 at ₱179,733/sqm. Allegra Garden Place (Pasig): 30–34 sqm from ₱5,266,000 at ₱189,147/sqm. The Erin Heights (Quezon City): 28.5–33 sqm from ₱5,391,000 at ₱194,062/sqm. Every one of those gives you more space for less per square metre; none of them is 550 metres from De La Salle University. You are buying the walk to campus.

Fourteen, and they are stacked rather than spread out because the site is only 2,382 sqm: a Sky Deck Pool, Sky Promenade and Sky Lounge at the top of the tower; a podium garden, snack bar and open lounge on the 7th floor; plus a coworking space, entertainment room, fitness gym, laundry station, water station, reception lobby, elevator lobby and drop-off area. There is no lap pool, basketball court, jogging path or playground — there was never room for them. Note also that DMCI does not list Lumiventt Sky Patio among Camden's building features.

It is the clearest landlord's case in the DMCI catalogue. De La Salle University is 550 m, College of St. Benilde 310 m, St. Scholastica's 300 m and UP Manila 1.95 km, and DMCI has publicly positioned the building around student living and Manila's learning hubs. A furnished studio inside a ten-minute walk of three campuses re-lets each June without advertising. DMCI's own Home Advance rate card values a Camden studio at ₱10,500 a month, which is an internal occupancy figure rather than a market rent — treat it as a conservative floor and build your yield from a real rent survey of the Taft corridor.

From September 1 to October 31, 2026, The Camden Place qualifies for the DMCI Homes Modified Third Quarter Deals (memo PD-26-07-031): a 12% downpayment spread over 32 months with a 1% discount on the unit, with the 88% balance payable via bank or in-house financing. The special discount applies to units only and cannot be combined with regular discounts; parking may follow the same promo payment term as the unit.

Yes. The Camden Place qualifies for DMCI Homes' 5% downpayment promo (memo PD-26-05-028), valid for reservations from June 1 to November 30, 2026: pay just 5% down over 12 months with a 2% discount, and finance the 95% balance through Chinabank or BPI bank financing. DMCI's selected buildings list (Cypress Towers, Illumina Residences, Royal Palm Residences, Tivoli Garden Residences, Willow Park Homes) carries a higher 4% discount under the same terms.

Yes. The Camden Place in Manila qualifies for DMCI Homes' Home Advance (Rent-to-Own) program, so you can move in now and pay your balance later instead of waiting for full bank financing. Monthly HomeAdvance lease starts at PHP 10,500 for a Studio, with a one-time move-in cash-out of PHP 44,000. To pre-qualify you complete 4 months of downpayment, either paid in advance or monthly (qualifying after the 4th payment). Promo validity July 1 to September 30, 2026, per DMCI memos PD-26-06-014 and PD-26-06-020.

At The Camden Place the monthly HomeAdvance lease rate for a Studio — the only unit type currently available — is from PHP 10,500/month, with a one-time move-in cash-out of PHP 44,000. The programme also publishes rates for 1-Bedroom (27–28.5 sqm) at PHP 11,000 and 2-Bedroom (52–54.5 sqm) at PHP 15,500, but neither type is on the current availability list. The move-in cash-out is 1 month advance rental plus 2 months security deposit plus a PHP 12,500 utility deposit; PMO turnover fees (joining fee and water service deposit) are free. Minimum lease is 6 months.

You are the buyer from Day 1. Home Advance at The Camden Place is not a rent-first arrangement — you reserve and sign a Contract to Sell on that specific unit before any occupancy begins, and every peso of your downpayment is equity in that purchase. The unit leaves the market the day you reserve and your price is locked at your contract price. There is no later conversion step and no separate approval needed to make you an owner, because you already are one; the only approval remaining is the bank loan on the balance, which every buyer on every payment term goes through. The Home Advance lease covers occupancy of a unit you have already bought while the balance is processed for bank drawdown, and that lease payment is not credited to the purchase — your ownership runs on the downpayment, in parallel.

On Camden 3202, a 24 sqm Studio at The Camden Place listed at ₱5,416,000: the 12% spot downpayment asks ₱649,920 in one payment and leaves a bank loan of ₱4,766,080. The 5% low spot downpayment needs ₱49,615 to start and ₱19,615 a month for 12 months, but leaves a bank loan of ₱5,042,296. Home Advance needs ₱49,169 to start and ₱19,169 a month for 32 months, and leaves the smallest bank loan of the three at ₱4,718,419 — about ₱2,811 a month less than the 5% route at an indicative 8.5% over 20 years. Final figures are confirmed at reservation.
