A farmland city turning industrial and residential
Few places in the country are changing as fast as General Trias. Large tracts of former agricultural land are being converted into master-planned residential communities. Lancaster New City is among the largest in the region, while economic zones and industrial parks draw locators and the jobs that follow. The CALAX interchanges and Governor’s Drive tie it all together. This pace makes valuation tricky: comparables can date quickly, and a parcel’s value often hinges on its conversion status and how close it sits to new infrastructure.

What moves a General Trias valuation
Two questions dominate here: conversion status and access. A parcel still classified as agricultural is worth far less than the same land approved for residential or industrial use, so we examine reclassification and conversion carefully. Proximity to the CALAX interchanges, Governor’s Drive, and the economic zones drives both residential and industrial value. And because the market moves so fast, we lean on the most recent verifiable sales we can find, often from inside the same development, rather than older comparables that may already be stale.

Why clients commission a General Trias appraisal
General Trias appraisal questions, answered
Do you value homes in Lancaster New City and similar developments?
We value units against recent sales inside the same master-planned community, since amenities, the phase, and turnover all shape the figure in developments this size.
Can you appraise farmland being converted to residential or industrial use?
Conversion status is the single biggest value factor here, so we look hard at reclassification and conversion approvals. Land that has been approved is worth far more than the same parcel still classified as agricultural.
Do you handle industrial and economic-zone locator sites?
We value these on an income or comparable basis, factoring the zone status, access to the CALAX and Governor’s Drive, and the locator activity nearby.
How does the CALAX affect land value in General Trias?
Proximity to the CALAX interchanges lifts value for both residential and industrial land, especially parcels positioned for conversion near the new access points.
Will a bank or Pag-IBIG accept a General Trias appraisal?
Yes. The report is built to Philippine Valuation Standards and formatted for lender submission, so banks and Pag-IBIG accept it, along with the BIR and the courts.
