Building homes for life — one house at a time

MANILA, Philippines - A home one can call his own, this is a dream shared by many Filipinos who see homeownership as a stepping stone for a better life. That is why for more than a decade DDC Land has been working on making its vision of “Building Homes for Life” a reality for every Filipino.

With 16 years of experience in real estate development, the company is one of the leaders in the affordable housing market in Southern Luzon where its 8,000-unit development, the Sta. Rosa Garden Villas, holds the distinction of being the largest affordable housing development in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna.  The company specializes in building affordable, executive-like residential subdivisions with a choice of duplex and quadruplex units.

DDC Land says its developments boast larger average floor areas per unit, less congestion and increased privacy due to the spaces between houses, stylishly designed housing units, and greater durability while keeping its prices at par with industry standards.

 “We want to dispel the image that buying an affordable house means you would have to live in crowded, poorly built and designed houses, that is why we constructed our units as if we are the ones who will live there,” says Edna Sutter, DDC executive vice president.                                                                                        

To deliver on its promise of quality homes for its homeowners the company has invested in their own motor pool and concrete batching plant to ensure best quality at the lowest cost. Through innovative construction techniques and efficient house designs, their houses come with readily expandable floor areas with the provision for building a third floor.

The company has also ventured into retailing with the upcoming opening of its Garden Plaza shopping center within the Garden Villas. The mall is situated in a 5.8-hectare multiphase commercial/industrial development and boasts over 8,000 square meters of retail space. Sutter says she expects the mall to be a major retail hub capable of meeting the needs of residents in Garden Villas and surrounding areas.

The company is gearing up for a major expansion that will see it moving beyond Sta. Rosa City and into the competitive greater Metro Manila area with a mix of high-end and affordable housing developments in Paranaque and Cavite.
