The remarkable 100% sell-out of Phase 1 Riverpark North Commercial Lots by Federal Land NRE Global, Inc. (FNG) underscores General Trias, Cavite, as a major emerging business hotspot. The rapid uptake is largely driven by strategic investor foresight and the ongoing boom within the massive 600-hectare Riverpark township.
A Sell-Out Driven by Strategic Infrastructure and Vision
The complete absorption of the initial commercial lots at Riverpark North signals strong confidence in General Trias' economic potential. As of May 2025, the joint venture between Federal Land Inc. and Japan's Nomura Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. sold parcels ranging from 1,000 to 2,600 square meters, which will be developed into office, retail, and other mixed-use facilities . The lots were fully sold ahead of the completion of a new Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) interchange, a game-changing infrastructure upgrade expected to boost accessibility and drive commercial momentum throughout the area.
GT Capital Senior Vice President Jose B. Crisol, Jr. commended the milestone, noting that it "unlocks new opportunities for development and economic activity in the area" and reflects the company's "continued commitment to creating long-term value for our stakeholders and contributing to the growth of the communities we serve" . FNG President Thomas F. Mirasol echoed this sentiment, stating, "We share the vision of our clients in the near-term potential of General Trias and Cavite as a growth hub and commercial center, and we are already preparing to deliver more innovations within the township" .
Major Developments Transforming the Township
The momentum in Riverpark is supported by a robust ecosystem of major projects that are rapidly transforming the area. The completed UNIQLO Logistics Facility, the brand's largest in Southeast Asia spanning 3.5 hectares, is expected to generate up to 400 jobs and is scheduled to begin operations in the first half of 2026 . The estate will also soon host SM City General Trias and a 15-hectare Ateneo de Manila University campus, making it a well-rounded and high-value community .
The new Ateneo campus, targeted to open in 2030, will bring world-class education closer to students residing in the south of Metro Manila and neighboring provinces . The township is also set to benefit from improved accessibility through two CALAX interchanges: the Open Canal Interchange slated for completion in 2026 and the Riverpark-General Trias Interchange targeted for completion in 2027.
What's Next for Riverpark
With the first phase fully sold, FNG is advancing to expand the area's footprint. The company is preparing to launch Phase 2 of the project by the second quarter of 2026, which will coincide with the opening of the CALAX interchange, the UNIQLO Logistics Facility, and SM City General Trias . Beyond commercial development, Riverpark is also rapidly transforming into a vibrant residential destination. FNG's Japanese-inspired residential enclave, Yume at Riverpark, continues to attract interest from homebuyers, and a new house-and-lot line is expected to launch later this year, featuring designs by Lor Calma & Partners that blend minimalist Japanese aesthetics with the functionality needed for Filipino family life . With these strategic developments, GT Capital is optimistic that FNG will be a key player in solidifying Cavite's position as a rising investment destination.
