Most Filipinos dream of having a home that gives them comfort, functionality, and safety, a thoughtfully designed space where families and loved ones can celebrate and share stories. Beyond aesthetics, homeowners also prefer a practical yet stylish house design where modern conveniences are integrated such as smart technologies and sustainable features. Modern home buyers now seek more than just a place to live, they also look for living spaces that can keep up with their evolving lifestyle and a house that ensures long-term value and efficiency.
Filipinos now demand homes that offer convenience, innovation, and a sense of community where they not only feel secure but also have a place to connect and enjoy a well-balanced life. RLC Residences answers this demand by providing world-class and future-ready homes, delivering quality, cutting-edge, and sustainable homes for Filipinos. For three decades now, RLC Residences has offered premium residential properties in strategic locations and different amenities that homeowners may enjoy.
RLC Residences also focuses on integrating smart technologies and sustainable practices, setting a new benchmark in modern living. Its groundbreaking projects such as the Le Pont Residences and SYNC reflect these features, which were recognized at the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards. It is a prestigious award-giving body that honors top real estate developers, projects, and agencies in the region. The company took home a total of five awards from this international recognition including Developer of the Year 2024, the Special Recognition Award for Innovation for its myRLC Home App, Best Lifestyle Condominium Developer, Best Sustainable Development for Le Pont Residences, and Best Smart Home Condominium Development for SYNC.
More than that, RLC Residences also bagged awards in the local scene, such as the Dot Property Philippines' Developer of the Year, Best Condominium Architectural Design, Best Luxury Development, Best Smart Home Condominium, and Best Sustainable Development.
Furthermore, RLC Residences swept multiple awards from another real estate industry awards program, the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards. They received the Best Developer – Luzon title and the Best Developer – Philippines award, their third time receiving this title. These accolades and distinctions solidified RLC Residences’ reputation in the real estate industry where consumers and stakeholders can put their trust.
