Cavite's exciting transformation is underway

Cavite is one of the provinces standing to benefit from the country’s massive “Build Better More” infrastructure program. The province, known as the “Historical Capital of the Philippines,” has long been among the most competitive provinces in the country, and the arrival of several big-ticket road, rail, and airport developments in and around Cavite will undoubtedly bring its potential as a key growth area and economic hub to even greater heights.

As a testament to its strong belief in the immense potential of Cavite, property giant and pioneering developer Megaworld has been pouring significant investments into the province by establishing five townships and integrated lifestyle communities—the most in any province in the Philippines to date—spanning a total of nearly 1,500 hectares or 30% of Megaworld’s current total landbank, as well as three cities and four municipalities.

Bolstered by strong partnerships with local governments in Cavite, Megaworld and its subsidiaries Global-Estate Resorts Inc. (GERI) and Suntrust Properties Inc. (SPI) have been strategically building green, modern, and sustainable township developments with unique identities, audiences and purposes.

Under the Megaworld portfolio is the 140-hectare, P15-billion Maple Grove, Cavite’s first-ever modern central business district rising in General Trias that also boasts several green residential projects. One of the major features of this township is the six-lane, 30-meter-wide Maple Grove Boulevard, portions of which were integrated into the 12-kilometer General Trias and Tanza Bypass Road to help ease traffic congestion along the Antero Soriano Highway and around the area.

Aside from residential condominiums, office developments, and its very own lifestyle mall, Maple Grove will also be home to the Maple Grove Park Village, a 22-hectare luxury resort-inspired residential community designed by renowned global design firm Wimberly, Allison, Tong & Goo (WATG)—the same group behind some of the world’s most extraordinary resort destinations like Shangri-La Maldives, Sofitel Bali in Indonesia, Atlantis The Palm in Dubai, as well as Hilton Manila here in the Philippines.
