Where change is concentrated

Named estates and townships. Kalupaan does not give an area a stage: it groups what sources say is inside it.

• Gateway Business Park

  28 companies and over 29,000 workers, as of June 2024 (PEZA), as one source states it. Not a survey.

  “As of June 2024, GBP hosts 28 companies, generating approximately $430 million in exports and employing over 29,000 Filipino workers, according to the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).”PortCalls Asia, 1 Oct 2024

  Inside it, on this page: Gateway Business Park expansion (Proclamation No. 669).

• General Trias City Sports Park

  Inside it, on this page: Sports Park track oval renovation and semi-Olympic pool.

• Maple Grove

  140 hectares, with a 35-hectare commercial district, as one source states it. Not a survey.

  “In General Trias, Cavite’s rising central business district is gradually taking shape at the 140-hectare Maple Grove. … Maple Grove will soon play host to topnotch residential properties, green parks including an expansive “Central Park,” and a 35-hectare Makati-inspired commercial district.”Megaworld International

  No dated record of anything built or planned inside it has been entered.

• Riverpark

  About 600 hectares, as 2 sources state it. Not a survey.

  “Riverpark is promoted as a city outside the city, covering around 600 hectares of land in General Trias.”Philstar, 28 Oct 2025

Connections sources make

Each link below is a source’s own statement. Kalupaan does not infer that one change causes another.

• Cerulean Residences is served by CALAX Subsection 3 and the Governor’s Drive Interchange, according to Century Properties Group.

  “Located in Barangay San Francisco along Arnaldo Highway, the project is just a stone’s throw from the newly opened Governor’s Drive exit of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).”Century Properties Group, 14 Sep 2026

• Riverpark is served by CALAX Open Canal Interchange, according to Rappler.

  “Residents of the property are also expected to directly access the open canal interchange of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway by 2026.”Rappler, 27 Oct 2025

What we could not read

Sources we looked for and could not use. Their absence here is a gap, not evidence that nothing is there.

• The 2024 census count for General Trias

  The Philippine Statistics Authority site refuses automated access. Until it is entered, the city plan’s projections cannot be read against a newer count.

• The Cavite flood risk management project (San Juan River Basin)

  The Department of Public Works and Highways page sits behind a bot check, which Kalupaan does not get around.

• The city’s Comprehensive Development Plan 2020–2029 and the CLUP’s education, health and housing chapters

  Some downloads were incomplete and some chapters are scanned images. Not read.

• Inquirer reporting (the Ateneo campus; the city’s growth)

  The site refused automated access.

• BusinessMirror reporting (Cerulean Residences)

  Its robots.txt disallows general crawlers. The developer’s own release is used instead.

• The Cavite Economic Zone and Cavite Economic Zone II

  The economic zone authority’s site did not respond, and the Official Gazette refused automated access to the proclamations (No. 1980 of 1980; Nos. 185 and 196 of 2002; No. 78 of 2010). Copies on LawPhil were read and kept as research, not entered: one gives an area that cannot be reconciled without the original. Employment on this page rests on two items only.

• The city’s own list of its top business taxpayers

  Only a news report of the city’s 2022 awards was found. It places two companies in the city; neither is entered until the city’s own record is read.
