Gateway address on Chino Roces
Makati’s southwest corridor has been quietly changing character.
Warehouses and low-slung complexes along Chino Roces Avenue are giving way to galleries, chef-driven dining rooms, and discreet lifestyle addresses.
In the middle of this shift, Fortis Residences rises as a polished city home for residents who want everyday access to the capital’s business core while keeping a measure of privacy and ease.

Southwest Makati in motion
Chino Roces links key Makati routes, including Gil Puyat, Ayala, Edsa, and South Luzon Expressway.
Hence, a residence here naturally connects to Bonifacio Global City and the airport cluster in Pasay and Parañaque.
Art enclaves, specialty retail, and destination restaurants already pull in a discerning crowd on evenings and weekends. This mix of commerce and culture sets the tone for a residential tower that aims to feel established from day one.

A curated DMCI Homes Exclusive address
Rising on 7,200 sqm along Chino Roces Avenue, Fortis Residences is a high-rise mixed-use project in DMCI Homes’ premium portfolio. It brings resort-inspired community experience to a Makati setting with rare open space.
The tower will have a small number of units relative to its size, maintaining an intimate feel in the common areas. DMCI emphasizes engineering efficiency and management for easier maintenance, appealing to long-term investors.

Space, light, and urban comfort
Typical units in the building start at approximately 55.5 sqm for one-bedroom layouts, with two- and three-bedroom cuts exceeding 150 sqm for larger corner residences. These sizes give residents space for an authentic living and dining area, private bedrooms, and storage, rather than a compressed studio layout that functions only as a crash pad.
Inside, large windows, provision for split-type airconditioning, built-in closets, kitchen appliances, and water heaters help buyers move in with minimal additional work. The building uses DMCI’s single-loaded corridor and Lumiventt design concepts, so hallways open toward landscaped atria, allowing cross ventilation and daylight to reach common areas.
Elevators, lobbies, and services are meanwhile configured with the expectation that many residents will travel frequently and may lease units out to global professionals.

Elevated amenities in the city
Pools, landscaped podium gardens, open lounges, a fitness center, and a roof-level court create a sequence of indoor and outdoor spaces where residents can decompress without leaving the property.
Higher-sky amenities offer expansive city views that frame the Makati and Taguig skylines, especially at dusk when towers light up and traffic noise softens in the distance.
These shared areas are used during the week for quick morning laps, late-night check-ins with family, or quiet remote-work pockets. On weekends, they can host small celebrations and visit friends, while still feeling distinctly residential rather than commercial.

A confident Makati investment
Makati remains the country’s most established central business district, which translates into resilient leasing demand across economic cycles.
Global Property Guide placed gross residential rental yields in Manila at around 6.65 percent in late 2025, indicating that income returns here remain competitive within the region. Well-located addresses near employment centers, transport corridors, and lifestyle destinations tend to attract the strongest tenant interest.
