If someone you trust asked you, “Should I look at One Lancaster Park?”, this is the guide you would send them. It covers the project from the ground up: who built it, what the units actually deliver, what makes the location work, whether it holds up as an investment, and exactly how to move forward if you decide to buy.
What Is One Lancaster Park?
One Lancaster Park is a mid-rise garden condominium inside Lancaster New City, Imus, Cavite, one of the largest master-planned communities in the Philippines. It sits on 10 hectares of land, with 70% of that area dedicated to open spaces: parks, garden corridors, elevated walkways, and recreational zones.
The project is developed by Famtech Properties, Inc., a joint venture between PH1 World Developers and the Property Company of Friends, the same group behind the Lancaster New City masterplan. Construction is engineered by Megawide Construction Corp., the company behind Mactan-Cebu International Airport and the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX).
The project is currently in the pre-selling stage, with a projected turnover in 2028. It carries DHSUD License No. R4A-070124-0279.
At a glance: 10 hectares · 70% open space · Studio, 1BR, and 2BR units · Free UPSIZE loft on every unit · Award-winning design · Engineered by Megawide · DHSUD License R4A-070124-0279
The Award, and What It Actually Means
In 2024, One Lancaster Park won the Open Space Development of the Year – Philippines at the Real Estate Asia Awards, held at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. This is a regional industry competition judged by real estate professionals across Asia, not a local marketing award.
The recognition matters because it validates one of the project’s core claims: that the open space is genuinely designed, not just a number on a brochure. A 70% open-space ratio is uncommon in any condo development. Winning a regional award for it is independent confirmation that the design philosophy is real and executed well.
Unit Types: Studio, 1-Bedroom, and 2-Bedroom
One Lancaster Park offers three unit configurations, each designed for practical Filipino family living. Every unit includes a free UPSIZE loft, more on that below. The base floor areas are:
- Studio: 21 sqm base floor area
- 1-Bedroom: 33 sqm base floor area
- 2-Bedroom: 49.5 sqm base floor area
Studio Units
The studio is the entry point, compact, efficient, and well-suited for a single person, a young couple, or an OFW investor buying their first property. The loft level adds over 7 sqm of space above, which most residents use as a sleeping area to free the ground floor for living and dining. See the studio unit guide for a detailed breakdown.
1-Bedroom Units
The 1-bedroom offers clearly defined living and sleeping areas on the ground floor, with the loft adding over 12 sqm of flexible space above, usable as a home office, a guest sleeping area, or a dedicated study. Total usable area with the loft reaches 45.42 sqm. Read the 1-bedroom guide for specifics on layout and who this unit type suits best.
2-Bedroom Units
The 2-bedroom is built for families. The 49.5 sqm base floor area gives real room to move, and the loft adds another 17.74 sqm, enough for a third sleeping area, a study room, or a dedicated play space for young children. Total usable area with the loft reaches 67.24 sqm. The full 2-bedroom guide covers layout details and who it suits.
The Free UPSIZE Loft, What It Is and Why It Matters
Every unit at One Lancaster Park comes with a free UPSIZE loft, an additional mezzanine level built above the main floor. This is not an optional add-on. It is not an upgrade you pay for. It is standard on every unit.
The loft adds between 7.62 sqm (studio) and 17.74 sqm (2-bedroom) of usable floor space on top of the base unit. A studio with a 21 sqm base floor becomes a 28.62 sqm home. A 2-bedroom with a 49.5 sqm base becomes 67.24 sqm total.
In practical terms, the loft changes how you live in the space. A studio buyer gets a home that genuinely functions like a one-bedroom. A 1-bedroom buyer gets a space that works like a two-bedroom. Families in a 2-bedroom unit get an extra room that does not exist in any comparable project at this price tier in Cavite.
This is the single biggest differentiator One Lancaster Park has versus similar condos in the area. The space is real, it is not counted in the base floor area to inflate headline numbers.

Location: Lancaster New City, Imus, Cavite
One Lancaster Park’s address inside Lancaster New City is a meaningful part of the value proposition. Lancaster New City is a long-established, self-contained master-planned community. The infrastructure, commercial areas, and community facilities are already in place, you are not buying into a greenfield project that might take a decade to develop around you.
What Is Already Inside Lancaster New City

Getting to Metro Manila
One Lancaster Park is about 10 minutes from the CAVITEX on-ramp, with CALAX also accessible from Imus. Via expressway, the Parañaque–Alabang corridor is roughly 20–30 minutes from the entry point under normal traffic. See the commute guide for a realistic breakdown of daily travel patterns and alternatives.
On transit: LRT-1 Phase 1 (to PITX in Parañaque) is already operational as of late 2024. Phases 2 and 3, extending the line to Zapote and ultimately to Niog Station in Bacoor, are expected to begin construction in 2026 and reach full completion by 2031.

Who Is One Lancaster Park For?
First-Time Buyers
The studio and 1-bedroom units, combined with Pag-IBIG financing availability and a pre-selling payment structure, make this accessible for buyers with stable employment who are ready for their first property. The loft adds usable space that makes the unit feel larger than comparable first-home options in Cavite. If you are still working through the fundamentals, the step-by-step buying guide is a good starting point.
OFW Investors
One Lancaster Park is one of the more OFW-practical projects available in the area. Reservation, financing, and document processing can all be handled remotely. Pag-IBIG overseas financing is available. The established community around Lancaster New City creates consistent rental demand, which gives an OFW investor a realistic passive income scenario for a unit they are not occupying. Our full OFW buying guide covers the process, the SPA requirements, and financing options in detail.
Families
The 2-bedroom unit with loft, the garden community environment, and the presence of St. Edward School 300 meters away make One Lancaster Park a legitimate family residence, not just an investment to hold. Families can manage most of their daily life without leaving Lancaster New City.
Is One Lancaster Park a Good Investment?
No property earns a blanket “yes” on this, that depends on your situation, your holding timeline, and what you are trying to achieve. What can be assessed honestly is the investment case.
Location and Infrastructure Direction
The Imus–Bacoor–Las Piñas corridor is the direction Metro Manila’s residential overflow is moving. CAVITEX and CALAX have made this corridor genuinely driveable, and the coming LRT-1 extension will introduce a mass transit option that does not currently exist. Properties in corridors with established infrastructure, improving connectivity, and undervalued land relative to Metro Manila tend to appreciate as the gap narrows. See why Cavite real estate is worth watching in 2026 for the macro picture.
Rental Demand Drivers
Lancaster New City has real rental demand: employees of nearby commercial zones and business parks, students from DLSU-D and EAC, and young families relocating from Metro Manila who rent before buying. A well-maintained furnished unit in a condo with a strong amenity package has a cleaner case for rental income than a unit in a building with nothing to offer a tenant. Read the rental ROI guide for how to think through the numbers before committing to a rental strategy.
Rent vs. Buy: Is Now the Right Move?
If you are still undecided on whether owning makes more sense than continuing to rent, the rent vs. buy guide walks through the real trade-offs, including the opportunity cost angle that most buyers do not think through carefully enough.
How to Buy a Unit at One Lancaster Park
The process is the same whether you are buying locally or from abroad:

- Select your financing, Pag-IBIG or bank loan
- Submit required documents (valid ID, proof of income, TIN)

Financing Options
- Pag-IBIG housing loan: The most common path for employed buyers with active Pag-IBIG contributions. See the Pag-IBIG condo loan guide for current requirements and limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the free UPSIZE loft really free?
Yes. The loft is included in every unit as standard. You do not pay extra for it, and it is not a limited-time promotion. The loft floor area is separate from the base unit area, so when you see a studio listed as 21 sqm, the loft’s 7.62 sqm is on top of that, not included in it.
Is One Lancaster Park DHSUD-licensed?
Yes. The project holds DHSUD License to Sell No. R4A-070124-0279, which you can verify directly with DHSUD.
Can I buy as an OFW without coming back to the Philippines?
Yes. Reservation, financing, and document processing can all be handled remotely. You will need a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) authenticated by your nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate to authorize a representative to sign on your behalf.
What unit size is best for a family of four?
The 2-bedroom with loft is the most practical choice. The total usable area of 67.24 sqm gives a family of four real room to live, with a dedicated sleeping area for children on the loft level, a living and dining area below, and a separate master bedroom. See the 2-bedroom guide for a detailed breakdown.
What is the completion date?
Tower 3 has a projected turnover in 2028. One Lancaster Park is a pre-selling project, units are not yet occupied.
How do I know the developer can be trusted?
Famtech Properties, Inc., the joint venture behind One Lancaster Park, is backed by PH1 World Developers and the Property Company of Friends, both with track records in the Lancaster New City masterplan.
