In Baguio City, refined living has long had an address.


For generations, South Drive has represented a distinctly refined way of life, one shaped by privacy, leisure, and a deep connection to the city's mountain landscape. Set amid pine-covered slopes and home to some of Baguio's most established residences, the neighborhood has become synonymous with a level of residential prestige rarely found elsewhere in the Summer Capital. It is where families retreat from the pace of urban life, where weekends unfold around recreation and gathering, and where homes often remain part of family traditions for decades.


One South Drive takes its cue from this enduring way of life.

Developed by Dacon Corporation and managed and marketed by DMCI Project Developers, Inc., the low-density residential development is defined by amenities that complement the habits and traditions long associated with South Drive. The emphasis is not on abundance, but on spaces that encourage residents to enjoy the things that have always drawn people to this part of the city: the scenery, the climate, and the pleasure of spending time with family and friends.


The first thing that commands attention is the Sky Garden and Sky Promenade.


Occupying the roof deck, the space looks out over Baguio City and the immaculately maintained fairways of the Baguio Country Club. The view changes with the weather and the hour. Some mornings begin beneath a blanket of mist, while late afternoons reveal the full sweep of the mountain landscape. By evening, the city glows below.


It is easy to imagine the role the space will play in residents' lives. A morning spent with a book and coffee. Drinks shared after a round of golf. Guests lingering long after sunset. The Sky Garden serves as one of those increasingly rare places that invites people to stay awhile.


The landscaped gardens and outdoor gathering spaces bring a similar sensibility to ground level.

Rather than treating greenery as a backdrop, One South Drive allows it to shape the atmosphere of the community. Terraces open onto landscaped grounds, while pockets of open space provide natural settings for conversation, relaxation, or simple solitude. The result feels less like a condominium complex and more like a private enclave, allowing residents to enjoy their surroundings at a slower, more deliberate pace.


This connection to the outdoors extends to the property's network of pathways, which wind through landscaped areas and encourage residents to slow their pace. In a city prized for its climate, such spaces become part of daily life rather than occasional amenities.


The residences continue the theme.


With floor areas ranging from 112.5 to 175 square meters, they are designed for a kind of living that has become increasingly uncommon. Large living and dining areas accommodate the way many families use their homes in Baguio, whether for holiday gatherings, long weekends, or entire seasons spent in the mountains.



One South Drive's low-density setting creates shared spaces defined by privacy, tranquility, and a sense of quiet exclusivity.

The scale feels particularly suited to South Drive itself. These are homes where grandparents, children, and grandchildren can gather comfortably under one roof, continuing the traditions that have long defined family life in the city.


Just as important is what the development chooses not to do.


Composed of only two seven-storey buildings, One South Drive remains measured in scale. Shared spaces are enjoyed by a limited residential community, creating an atmosphere marked by quiet, discretion, and a greater sense of privacy. The absence of crowding lends every amenity a different character, from the rooftop spaces to the landscaped grounds below.



There are the sweeping views from the Sky Garden and Sky Promenade, the generosity of the residences, the landscaped grounds, and the sense of ease that comes with a low-density community.


At One South Drive, the experience goes beyond the amenities themselves. It is about enjoying Baguio the way generations have before: gathering with loved ones, embracing the outdoors, and finding comfort in a place that invites people to stay a little longer.
