Where to Buy a Condo in BGC & Taguig (2026): Districts & Prices
A 2026 guide to the Taguig condo market: the BGC core, Uptown, McKinley, Acacia Estates and Arca South, what each district costs per square meter, the towers to know, and who each pocket suits.
Where to buy a condo in BGC and Taguig (2026)
Bonifacio Global City is the address the rest of the market measures itself against. It is the newest of the big three business districts, the most walkable, and the most expensive side of Taguig, and yet Taguig as a whole is a far wider market than the glass towers of BGC. Ride five minutes east and the same city sells resort style family condos at less than half the price per square meter.
This guide maps the Taguig condo market in 2026: the districts, the towers to know in each, what they cost, and who each pocket suits.
What Taguig costs
Across the condos listed on BalayHub, Taguig carries the highest median in the country at roughly ₱224,000 per square meter, ahead of Makati. That average hides a wide split: the BGC core and its luxury estates trade well above it, while the C5 and Acacia Estates side trades well below. Price any specific unit against its own district with the price per square meter tool, not against the city average.
BGC core: the walk to work premium
The core grid is where the premium lives, anchored by Ayala Land Premier's Serendra estate, One Serendra and the Two Serendra towers like the Meranti, plus East Gallery Place and West Gallery Place by High Street. The mid market entry into the core is Avida's cluster, including Avida Towers Verte, Avida Towers Turf BGC and the CityFlex Towers for unit owners who want flexible live and work spaces. Alveo's One Maridien and Verve Residences sit in the newer High Park side, and Federal Land's Grand Hyatt Manila Residences and The Seasons Residences hold the hotel branded end. Buy here for the deepest resale and rental market in the country, and accept that you pay for it.
Uptown Bonifacio: Megaworld's township
The northern end of BGC is a Megaworld township, dense with its own mall and offices. Uptown Parksuites, Uptown Ritz Residences, One Uptown Residence, Uptown Arts Residence and the newer Uptown Modern give a spread from investor studios to large family units, generally a notch below the Ayala core on price.
McKinley Hill and McKinley West: the themed estates
Over the hill, Megaworld runs two more townships popular with expats, embassy staff and families who want space. McKinley Hill has the Venetian themed The Venice Luxury Residences, The Viceroy, The Florence and Morgan Suites, while McKinley West answers with Park McKinley West and the St. Moritz Private Estate at the luxury end. Pricing runs below the BGC core for noticeably more floor area.
Acacia Estates and the C5 side: Taguig at half price
East of C5 is where Taguig surprises people. DMCI Homes built an entire resort style ecosystem around Acacia Estates: Rainbow Ridge Condominiums, Lakeview Manors, Cedar Crest, Ivory Wood, Maple Place, Mulberry Place, Royal Palm Residences and Verawood Residences among them. These are mid rise, amenity heavy, family oriented communities at a fraction of core BGC rates. This is the pocket for end users who want the Taguig address and a pool deck without the CBD premium.
Arca South: the bet on what comes next
South along the old FTI site, Ayala's Arca South estate is the growth story, with Alveo's The Veranda and Park Cascades leading the residential build out. It is a bet on infrastructure catching up, priced accordingly below the established core.
Who should buy where
- Investors chasing rental depth: the BGC core and Uptown, where tenant demand never thins. Weigh the yields against our rental income locations guide.
- Families and end users: Acacia Estates and McKinley for space per peso.
- Long horizon buyers: Arca South, where today's discount prices in tomorrow's infrastructure.
- Value comparison shoppers: put Taguig against its neighbor across the river with our Metro Manila condo guide and the Pasig guide, which buys similar quality at lower entry.
Browse every current condo in Taguig, research any tower in the building directory, and check each asking price against its district on the price per square meter tool before you negotiate. This is factual market research, not investment advice; verify current figures with a licensed professional before transacting.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a condo in BGC cost?
Taguig carries the highest median in the country at roughly 224,000 pesos per square meter across current listings, and the BGC core trades above that average while the C5 and Acacia Estates side trades well below it. Price any unit against its own district rather than the city average.
Where is the affordable side of Taguig?
East of C5, around Acacia Estates, where DMCI Homes built resort style mid rise communities like Rainbow Ridge, Lakeview Manors, Cedar Crest and Royal Palm Residences at a fraction of core BGC rates. Arca South is the other value story, priced below the established core as the estate builds out.
Which BGC district is best for investors?
The BGC core and Uptown Bonifacio have the deepest tenant pools and resale markets, which is what an income investor pays for. The value districts east of C5 offer lower entry and family tenants, and Arca South is the longer horizon bet on infrastructure.
Is BGC better than Makati for buying a condo?
They are peers at the top of the market, with BGC newer and more walkable and Makati more established. Taguig's median currently sits slightly above Makati's on our listing data. The better question is district versus district: both cities have premium cores and cheaper fringes, so compare the specific pocket, not the city name.
