Cavite is solidifying its position as one of the Philippines’ most dynamic property markets, driven by a strong local economy anchored in manufacturing, outsourcing and leisure industries.

Improved road connectivity across South Luzon has transformed Cavite from a suburban extension of Metro Manila into a vibrant urban center and major satellite city, attracting national developers eager to invest beyond the capital.

Industrial activity is expanding quickly, supported by manufacturing operations in automotive, semiconductors, and packaging, and strengthened further by new foreign investment pledges secured under the Marcos administration.

These investments are expected to boost industrial space absorption, job creation and long-term economic activity across the province. 

This industrial momentum is directly fuelling residential demand, especially in General Trias, where lot-only developments have achieved 60 to 100 percent take-up and upscale projects priced between P4 million and P10 million account for nearly half of sales.

Affordable and economic housing units priced from P580,000 to P3.2 million are also nearly sold out, with General Trias’ average house-and-lot price reaching P3.2 million per unit. With its strong residential base, proximity to industrial parks and expanding infrastructure, Cavite is positioned to become the next major real estate growth corridor in South Luzon.

The rollout of transformative projects such as Calax and the Silang Interchange, expected to be fully operational by 2026, is set to elevate land values and accelerate the province’s property development cycle even further.
