3 Bedroom & 4 Bedroom — Shantung vs Taffeta

Acacia Estates, Taguig City

Only one unit size exists in both buildings — the 85 sqm 3 Bedroom. That's the only true head-to-head. Everything larger than that is a Shantung decision, because Taffeta has no 3BR above 85 sqm and no 4 Bedroom at all.

Every figure below is the lowest-priced available unit in that type, computed on the standard 12% downpayment term with the 1% discount and ₱30,000 reservation. Prices as of the DMCI pricelist dated 27 July 2026.

The head-to-head: 85 sqm 3 Bedroom

Same floor area. Same layout. Two buildings, two turnover dates — and that turnover date is what changes the monthly.

Eleven months to turnover. You keep paying the downpayment past turnover — the 36-month term runs longer than the build does.

🕐 Turnover August 2028
The high-rise, and the newest phase. Fourteen months later than Shantung — which is exactly why the downpayment stretches over 50 months instead of 36.
Taffeta is cheaper every month by
₱10,442
and costs ₱222,000 more in total price

That's the whole trade. Shantung hands you the keys in June 2027; Taffeta in August 2028. If you're moving in, Shantung. If you're stretching the cash flow and can wait another 14 months, Taffeta.

Walk the 84–85 sqm 3 Bedroom. 3BR, 2 T&B, corner unit — the layout you're buying in both Shantung and Taffeta.

Bigger than 85 sqm? That's Shantung only.

Taffeta tops out at 85 sqm for a 3 Bedroom and has no 4 Bedroom. Three larger layouts exist, and all three are in Shantung — with three, three and five units left respectively.

All three turn over June 2027. Monthly is the 12% downpayment less the ₱30,000 reservation, spread over 36 months. Bank column is the estimated amortization on the 88% balance over 20 years.

See the space before you decide

Shantung and Taffeta are still under construction, so there's no finished unit to walk through yet. These tours were filmed in Alder Residences — DMCI's sister community across the same Acacia Estates township, built with the same unit layouts.

107 sqm 3 Bedroom. DMCI Homes' own tour — the description states this layout is also available at Mulberry Place. Closest Shantung equivalent: the 101.5 sqm 3BR above.
121 sqm corner unit. Oregon building, facing Laguna Lake. Shown for scale — the closest Shantung unit is the 118 sqm 3BR above.
151 sqm corner 4 Bedroom. This is the big one — and at Mulberry Place the 152 sqm 4 Bedroom exists in Shantung and nowhere else. Five units left.

If you can put more down

30% downpayment earns a 4% discount instead of 1%. Same term length — the monthly goes up, the total price and the bank loan both come down.

On the 85 sqm Shantung unit the 4% discount saves you ₱363,720 off the price versus the 12% term, and drops the bank loan by ₱2.4M. Whether that beats keeping the cash is your call — I'll run it either way.

Expert advice that feels like family.

The fine print, honestly: Prices reflect the DMCI pricelist dated 27 July 2026 and are the lowest available unit in each type — higher floors and better views cost more. All figures are subject to unit availability and final confirmation by DMCI Homes. Shantung turns over June 2027 and its downpayment term is 36 months; Taffeta turns over August 2028 on a 50-month term — both per DMCI's current terms, which only a DMCI memo changes. Bank financing amortization is an estimate only, computed at 7.75% (10yr), 8.25% (15yr) and 8.50% (20yr) — your actual rate is set by your bank at the time of loan approval and will differ. Closing fees are estimated at 9.6% of the net contract price and are payable separately from the downpayment. Discounts and payment terms are subject to change by DMCI Homes.

Video walkthroughs are of the same unit layouts filmed at Alder Residences, DMCI's neighbouring community in Acacia Estates — they are shown so you can see the space, not as footage of the specific unit you would be buying. Floor areas quoted in the videos (84, 107, 121, 151 sqm) are the videos' own; Mulberry Place's pricelist areas are 85, 101.5, 118 and 152 sqm.
