General Block is aimed at middle-income buyers who want planned infrastructure at a comparatively affordable price. It is accessible and laid out with green side roads, parks and carpeted roads.

As of January 2023, General Block was reported to be fully developed, including levelling and groundwork. Roads and streets were carpeted, with street signs and lights installed, and overhead water tanks had been constructed. On this basis, the block was described as ready for possession and construction. Confirm current possession status with the developer before buying.
