A legacy address in PHilippine Summer Capital
A different kind of luxury still holds its ground in Baguio City.
In certain quarters of the Philippine Summer Capital, towering lush pine trees still frame the narrow, winding roads, while the cold mountain air drifts naturally through open windows. Many of the residences in these areas, which offer ample breathing spaces, have likely been kept within families across generations, long enough to become part of the city’s social memory.
Distinguished enclave
One such storied locale is South Drive, long regarded as one of Baguio City’s most prestigious hillside addresses, valued for its heritage and privacy.
Developed by Dacon Corp., with DMCI Project Developers, Inc. serving as development manager, One South Drive rises within this distinguished enclave.
Its proximity to institutions such as Baguio Country Club, Camp John Hay, and The Mansion places residents within the orbit of the city’s old leisure culture, yet the area itself has managed to retain some distance from the commercial pace shaping many other districts in this city.
Today, that kind of neighborhood character continues to carry weight among buyers drawn to an address that feels established and well-connected, yet comfortably removed from the rush of the city. After all, discerning homeowners nowadays are placing even greater value on space, privacy, healthier environments, and ease of access. Especially in leisure destinations, expansive residences and long-term livability have become measures of true luxury.
A limited offering
These preferences give One South Drive its distinct and immediate advantage. After all, it’s located within an area in Baguio City that has fittingly retained its prestige through the years.
One South Drive comes to the market as a limited residential offering within one of Baguio’s most tightly held enclaves.
The development consists of only two 7-story buildings, namely West Peak and East Crest, with a limited number of residences designed for buyers who value a more intimate residential environment. Residences on offer range from 112.5 sqm to 175 sqm in size, providing generous spaces configured for extended stays and multigenerational use rather than transient occupancy.
Its amenities follow the same sensibility. Landscaped open spaces, promenades, terraces, wellness-oriented facilities, and areas for relaxation and small gatherings support a more restorative way of living while staying closely attuned to the mountain setting. Select residences also offer privileged views, while the Sky Garden extends that experience into a shared setting.
From the roof deck, residents can take in expansive views of the Baguio City proper and the manicured greens of Baguio Country Club, creating a common space that makes the most of the property’s hillside setting.
These amenities suggest a lifestyle that feels naturally tied to Baguio itself—one that gives residents more reasons to step outdoors, move at an easier pace, keep up with wellness routines, and enjoy the city’s best qualities without having to leave home for every experience.
A legacy address
Beyond the immediate appeal of space, One South Drive is notably anchored by a distinguished address where supply remains naturally limited. For second home buyers and legacy investors, that combination strengthens its appeal as a multigenerational residence with location driven potential for capital appreciation.
Indeed, in places like South Drive, value is shaped by what cannot easily be replicated—the limited availability of premium residences, natural hillside setting, and a reputation built over decades. And One South Drive stands exactly on these advantages, giving you another opportunity to call this prestigious, time-honored part of Baguio City home.
