Market Overview Summary
Angeles City, Pampanga, has rapidly emerged as a key real estate hub in Central Luzon, especially for subdivision and residential projects over the past five years. Its close proximity to the Clark Freeport Zone, a major center for BPOs and industrial growth, alongside significant infrastructure developments like road expansions and market upgrades, has fueled steady demand from working professionals, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), investors, and returning residents. Prominent subdivision projects such as Aldea Grove Estates by Avida Land and Metrogate Angeles have demonstrated robust sales, with prices averaging between ₱70,000 and ₱160,000 per square meter depending on location and project phase.
Government infrastructure investments directly within Angeles City are more modest by comparison, with ongoing and planned projects totaling several billion pesos, including upgrades to healthcare facilities, schools, waste management, and renewable energy initiatives—amounting to approximately ₱4.8 billion. Smaller scale projects valued around ₱745 million reflect specific targeted upgrades in key sectors expected to be completed by 2025. While this city-focused spending is substantial, it is distinctly less than the much larger infrastructure investments in nearby Clark.
Clark Freeport Zone, adjacent to Angeles City, is undergoing massive government infrastructure development with investments exceeding ₱77 billion in 2024 alone. This includes multi-billion peso projects like the ₱60 billion Clark Central Business District and significant road projects such as One Clark Boulevard, all aimed at enhancing Clark as a premier investment and industrial hub. The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has approved over ₱53.5 billion in investments during the first seven months of 2025, further underpinning Clark’s regional economic dominance and infrastructure modernization.
Construction activity in Angeles City subdivision projects remains strong, supported by these broader infrastructure enhancements in the region, with estimated rental yields ranging from 4.5% to 6%. Vacancy rates show a healthy balance between supply and demand. The city is benefiting both from its own infrastructural improvements and from spillover effects driven by Clark’s significant multi-billion infrastructure programs.
