Your Wealth Between Two Mega Cities: Unlock the Investment Advantages of Le Pont Residences

 When it comes to real estate, location is everything. A property’s proximity to business hubs, lifestyle amenities, and thriving communities directly impacts its value and appeal. For investors looking to grow their wealth, Le Pont Residences by RLC Residences stands out as a strategic choice. Situated within the master-planned Bridgetowne Destination Estate that connects Quezon City and Pasig, this premium development offers unparalleled access to Metro Manila’s major business districts while presenting a host of investment advantages that make it a standout opportunity in today’s competitive market.

Prime Location for Maximum Returns

According to a study by Colliers, properties in well-connected, mixed-use estates like Bridgetowne see faster appreciation rates due to their accessibility and comprehensive urban planning. Le Pont Residences benefits from its unique position in Bridgetowne, the only master-planned estate connecting Quezon City and Pasig. This accessibility is supported by direct routes via C5 Road and Amang Rodriguez Avenue and proximity to key landmarks such as PEZA-accredited office buildings within the estate and nearby, prestigious institutions like University of the Philippines Diliman and Ateneo de Manila University; world-class healthcare facilities St. Luke’s Medical Center and The Medical City; plus lifestyle destinations including Opus Mall that is located at the estate's core.

 

This connectivity and convenience drive strong rental yields and consistent demand, ensuring that your investment remains competitive over the long term.

 

Proven Value Appreciation

 

Bridgetowne’s growth trajectory offers investors a clear path to wealth accumulation. Cirrus, another RLC Residences property in the estate launched in 2019 has already achieved a 77% value appreciation in just five years. Similarly, since its launch in 2023, Le Pont Residences has seen an 8% increase in value in under two years, with 85% of units sold in just 1.5 years.

 

Such impressive performance is a testament to the development’s enduring appeal and market demand, making it an ideal choice for investors focused on growth potential.

 

Sustainability Drives Long-Term Value

 

In an era where sustainability is a key investment criterion, Le Pont Residences stands out. As the first residential development in Bridgetowne to achieve EDGE certification from the International Finance Corporation, it incorporates features that deliver measurable savings - 34% water savings through advanced water-efficient technologies and 45% energy savings via sustainable systems and green spaces.

 

According to a 2023 Deloitte study, 61% of global real estate investors prioritize sustainable properties, citing tenant demand and long-term financial performance as critical factors. Properties with eco-friendly features can command up to 23% higher resale values and 10% lower operating costs. For eco-conscious investors, Le Pont Residences represents a future-proof asset that aligns with market trends.

 

Bridging Investors to Their Best Investment Yet

 

With its premium location, consistent value appreciation, and sustainability credentials, Le Pont Residences offers investors a rare opportunity to secure a high-performing asset in one of Metro Manila’s most promising areas.

Step into Your Independent Era: 3 Tips for Living Solo in 2025

 Have you been dreaming of finally carving out a space you can call your own? As 2024 wraps up, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your aspirations and take that leap into independence. With more millennials and young professionals seeking to live solo, this represents freedom, growth, and self-discovery.

Whether you’re envisioning a home that mirrors your personality or planning a strategic investment for your future, these three steps will help you make the transition to solo living seamlessly. 

 

Step 1: Secure Your First Investment

Owning your first property is a life-changing milestone that builds long-term financial security. It’s not just about having a home—it’s about investing in your future.

 

Take Sierra Valley Gardens as an example. With a 42% price appreciation since launch, it’s a smart move for financial growth. This property offers units tailored to various needs, whether you’re starting with a studio or opting for a 1- or 2-bedroom flat with balcony options. Flexible payment terms make property ownership accessible.

Solo living is your chance to design a space that’s uniquely yours – a haven for creativity, relaxation, and productivity.

 

Sierra Valley Gardens offers modern layouts and energy-efficient features, perfect for personalizing your home. Incorporating smart home technology like smart locks, lighting, and audio-video intercoms will elevate your living experience, offering convenience while amenities like the residence lounge, pools, and pet park enhance your lifestyle.

 

Tip: Plan your setup with decor ideas that maximize space and reflect your personality. Minimalist designs are great for smaller areas and for those who aim to live a more productive life.

Step 3: Prioritize Location for Growth

Location is key to maintaining a balance of independence and accessibility. Your ideal home should connect you to career opportunities, social hubs, and daily conveniences.

 

Sierra Valley Gardens ticks all these boxes! Located along Ortigas Avenue Extension, it provides access to Metro Manila’s key establishments. With the upcoming MRT Line 4, commuting will soon be even more convenient.

 

For young professionals and first-time homeowners, this property’s strategic location offers the best of both worlds: staying close to people and places that matter while enjoying the freedom of having your own space. 

 

Tip: Look for properties near infrastructure, lifestyle hubs, and future developments to boost your investment’s value and enhance daily living.

Le Pont Residences: Luxurious Living Redefined by RLC Residences in Pasig City's Bridgetowne Estate

Last week, I had the pleasure of being invited to a room tour at Le Pont Residences, situated in the Bridgetown area. The event was graced by RLC Residences' celebrity ambassador, Heart Evangelista, adding an extra touch of glamour to the launch.

During the visit, I explored a 2-bedroom showroom that left a lasting impression. It truly stands out as one of the best spaces I’ve ever seen, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. What makes it even more appealing is its prime location. The residence is just a stone’s throw away from a mall, and the community is ideal for families. With a nearby park, schools, and a church, it's a place where you and your kids can truly thrive.

RLC Residences is a premier developer in the Philippines known for creating innovative and sustainable residential projects. One of their standout developments is Le Pont Residences, located within the Bridgetowne Destination Estate in Pasig City. Le Pont Residences offers a luxurious living experience with a focus on spacious and modern designs.

RLC Residences marked the second half of the year with the eagerly awaited showcase of the final tower of Le Pont Residences. 

Le Pont Residences, French for "The Bridge," has connected Filipinos to an elevated lifestyle and valuable investment opportunity within the 31-hectare master-planned Bridgetowne Destination Estate (BDE) in Pasig City. This premium high-rise property by RLC Residences debuted its first tower in 2023 and offers convenient city living thanks to its proximity to offices, a premium mall, and other establishments within the estate.  

Speaking to members of the media during the event, John Richard Sotelo, RLC Residences' Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager, and Robinsons Land Chief Marketing Officer, highlighted that the performance of the first tower of Le Pont Residences outpaces the government's 10-year tenor of 6.5%.

“In just 1 year and 6 months since launching the first tower, the net value has already appreciated by 8%, with current unit prices at Php 310K/sqm compared to the initial launch price of Php 286K/sqm. We are also proud to share that Le Pont Residences is actually the fastest selling property in the area since we launched the first building last year,” Sotelo added.

Also present during the event is the brand ambassador of RLC Residences, Heart Evangelista, who shared her enthusiasm with the launch of Le Pont Residences’ last tower. “I’m so happy to be here with my RLC Residences family and celebrate this milestone with them. I also saw the new showroom of their two-bedroom unit, and I love how big the size and how efficient it was designed. Definitely a great home and investment to check out.”

When Your Personal Space Turns Into Your Headspace

Le Pont Residences’ second tower offers efficient and generously-sized units with loggias so future residents can have enough space to attend to their everyday priorities. From one to three-bedroom units to bi-level penthouse options in Tower 1, RLC Residences now offers executive one-bedroom and four-bedroom unit options in Tower 2 to provide more options to potential buyers who wish to experience comfortable living while maximizing space and functionality.

All these units come with smart home deliverables for additional safety and convenience, along with appliances such as an air conditioning unit, refrigerator, range hood, cooktop, and washer and dryer, while penthouse units will have a dishwasher deliverable.

Le Pont Residences also boasts an array of hyper-sized amenities curated for the lifestyle of its future homeowners. Located in multiple floors within the development, facilities such as The Clubhouse, Infinity and Wading Pools, Fitness Center, Pet Park, Game Simulator, and Work Lounges are exclusively available for the residents. On the top floor is the Altitude 51, where exclusive function villas and Sky Lounge will soon be made available for private events and celebrations.

But what makes Le Pont Residences a perfect home and investment choice is its sustainability commitment. The development recently got its preliminary EDGE certification from the International Finance Corporation, making it the first and only EDGE-certified sustainable condominium within BDE. The building's efficient water and energy-saving features such as rainwater harvesting system and eco-friendly fixtures in units and common areas reduce ecological footprint and provide significant cost savings to homeowners over time. In addition, Le Pont Residences anticipates future needs by offering e-parking spaces for electric vehicles on select parking slots.

“We are truly proud of how Le Pont Residences can bridge our future homeowners to the best life that they envision for themselves and their families. We can’t wait for them to experience what it’s like to live in a home and community where they can achieve their life goals while making great memories with their loved ones,” ends Sotelo.

More than just a competition, RLC Residences IRONKIDS Davao is also a celebration of young talent, determination, and sportsmanship. Held on the picturesque coast of Davao, the event brought together almost 300 young athletes aged 6 to 14, all eager to test their mettle in a series of run-bike-run challenges. For many participants, IRONKIDS is their first taste of competitive sports, making it a critical stepping stone in their athletic journey.

“Witnessing the children’s perseverance and sportsmanship at an early age are two of the many things we love about IRONKIDS. We are grateful to have this opportunity because it inspires us to continuously support young athletes like them in their quest to become great in their chosen sport,” shares Karen Cesario, RLC Residences Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer.

Prior to the day of the event, RLC Residences hosted a special family affair with the kids and their parents in attendance, including the brand’s IRONKIDS team who happily participated in the different activities. Cesario also shared that one of the kids is currently preparing to try out for the upcoming SEA Games for his age group.

“When we learn about stories like these, it makes us more motivated to extend whatever support we can give these kids. We wish to help them achieve these goals and sincerely hope that they qualify. But overall, what we really aim for is to be with them as they start this journey and help them win in life,” says Cesario.

RLC Residences Triathlon Team in IRONMAN Davao 70.3

Alessandra Silerio, Maicee Quejada, and Tricia Cruz from RLC Residences Triathlon Team are podium finishers in the all-female relay at IRONMAN Davao 2024.

In addition to RLC Residences IRONKIDS Davao, the brand also had a personal stake in the prestigious IRONMAN Davao, with one of their own athletes securing a remarkable 3rd place podium finish. Composed of Alessandra Silerio, Maicee Quejada, and Tricia Cruz, the power trio finished the entire swim-bike-run course in a span of 5 hours and 18 minutes. 

The rest of the team, who also competed in both individual and relays, successfully finished the race and reached the finish line. 

“Racing for IRONMAN 70.3 is no easy feat, that’s why I’m always proud of the team for continuously breaking records for all of us. This is the first time that our all-female relay unit made it to podium finish since we established the team in 2022, and I’m thankful to them for this historic win,” says Dan Carlo Torres, RLC Residences’ Brand Management and Operations Head and Team Lead of the brand’s triathlon team. Torres also competed in the race and finished the course in 5 hours and 45 minutes.

The IRONMAN Davao is known for its grueling course, which challenges even the most seasoned athletes. Competing against some of the best in the world, RLC Residences’ representatives showcased not only physical endurance but also the mental toughness required to excel in such a demanding event. 

RLC Residences has been a staunch supporter of IRONMAN and IRONKIDS, and their involvement in both races is part of a broader strategy for community building and celebration of wellness and sportsmanship. The brand believes that supporting events like this serves as a reminder that with determination, dedication, and a supportive community, anything is possible for aspiring athletes.

Exploring the Charms of the South with RLC Residences' Woodsville Crest

 

 

Team South or Team North? The running quip among friends is that Southies ( or Southerners - slang for people living in the South of Metro Manila) have always been adjusting to those living in the North. While this must be true for some, the South has its own offerings that people can enjoy and love. Its strategic location and connectivity are just two of the reasons why RLC Residences chose the area to be the home of its nature-inspired development, Woodsville Crest.

Woodsville Crest, RLC Residences’ soon-to-be Oasis South of Metro is located at Merville, Parañaque making it accessible to Metro Manila’s central business districts (CBDs) and the vibrant lifestyle destinations in the South. Recently, the developer launched Olive, Woodsville Crest’s latest building that offers a holistic living experience for a gentle blend of work, leisure, and community life. Learn more about the perks of living in the South below. 

 

Jetsetter-friendly!  

Southies can say ‘Yes!’ to more #TravelGoals this year as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport is within reach so flying in and out of the city or the country is such a breeze. Moreover, if you’re living in Woodsville Crest, aside from being just 5 kms away from the airport, there’s an added benefit of being able to have a post-trip relaxation with its nature-inspired design filled with vast open green spaces and multiple relaxing pools. 

 

So accessible (especially to CBDs)!

There are so many places people can go to in the South, thanks to being well-connected to different cities through major roads like the Cavitex-C5 Link, SLEX, and Skyway which has also improved the traffic flow in the area. Additionally, upcoming transportation developments Laguna Lakeshore Road Network Project and LRT-1 Extension are already underway which will soon make the South more accessible than ever.  

 

Aside from these, future residents of Woodsville Crest can also enjoy being connected to key destinations, thanks to its direct access to Edison Avenue and West Service Roads. Going to work or even leisure destinations  within the area is going to be easy and convenient.

 

Lots of hangout spots! 

When it comes to hangout places, the South boasts of well-loved dining, shopping, entertainment, and recreational options. The Molito Lifestyle Center is a go-to destination for a reason with its curated dining options and shops while still having a laid-back alfresco park at the center. And just a few stones thrown away are Alabang Town Center (or ‘ATC’ as legit Southies call it ;), Festival Mall, which has its own indoor roller coaster, plus BF Homes - which is literally a home to multiple food destinations. South experience won’t also be complete without visiting the relaxing beaches and resorts in Batangas, Cavite, and Laguna.  

 

Exciting activities!

Culture vultures in the South bask at two of Metro Manila’s top entertainment and leisure destinations: Solaire Resort and Newport World Resorts known for staging world-class plays, musicals, ballet shows, and more. On the other hand, outdoorsy types can also take advantage of the Southwoods Golf and Country Club, while historical sites in Cavite and Laguna also offer a fun yet informative experience to those in search of other activities to enjoy. 

 

Dampa seafood and more

Seafood lovers living in the South are in luck as the area, particularly Parañaque, is a haven for those craving Dampa-styleseafood. The Dampa area, a fresh seafood market with accompanying restaurants, is just around the corner. Simply buy your seafood of choice and ask the chefs to cook it how you like.

 

Aside from this, nearby provinces also offer delectable dishes plus delicacies that everyone can enjoy. Famous Batangas Lomi, Laguna’s sought-after Buko Pie, and Cavite’s Bibingkoy are some of the favorites Southies are proud of.

 

“There’s really a lot to love in the South and we’re happy to contribute to the long list through Woodsville Crest. With its strategic location, future residents can enjoy the balance of an exciting and peaceful lifestyle,” says RLC Residences Marketing Head Karen Cesario.

RLC Residences opens its passion project “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” to more developments in the Metro

Cramped home space is one of the common concerns of many, attributed to a lot of factors such as having too much furniture or appliance at home, struggling to let go of sentimental items, or purchasing items in bulk without consideration of storage space. RLC Residences understands this homeowner’s struggle, which is why it opens its passion project “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” to more developments in the Metro to encourage more residents to declutter responsibly.

 

After its introduction in 2021, the initiative was initially made available to three RLC Residences properties as a way to advocate eco-friendly home clean-up to its residents. Now, the service is expanded to help Quezon City residents living at Escalades East Tower, Escalades at 20th Avenue, and The Magnolia Residences. 

Availing of the “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” service is easy and free! Residents can take advantage of this offer by logging in to their myRLC Homeowner’s portal, going to the Humble tab, and booking a pick-up schedule. 

 

“Our promise to help our residents live their best lives goes beyond the usual services offered to them. We are always on the lookout for more innovative ways to support their home needs while considering our environment as well. We are grateful to finally extend this passion project to more RLC Residences homeowners and allow them to do nature-friendly home clean-up,” says Karen Cesario, RLC Residences Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer.

 

Soon, the service will be offered to other properties in Mandaluyong, Taguig, and Manila including Gateway Garden Ridge, Robinsons Gateway Residences, The Trion Towers, McKinley Park Residences, and Robinsons Place Residences.

 

The “Minimize Waste, Maximize Space” project is crafted in partnership with award-winning start-up Humble Sustainability. The first of its kind in the residential industry, this initiative is primarily created to help homeowners with their home clean-up needs. In addition, the project is crafted to provide a better solution to bring back unused items in the circularity instead of simply throwing away home items that are no longer used.  

 

“It’s an honor to have the opportunity of working with RLC Residences in any way, to now be expanding the partnership is truly a privilege. As a community, we must all work together and practice circular living if we are to get a step closer to achieving sustainability. Collaborations like this are a wonderful example of that,” says Josef Werker, Co-Founder of Humble Sustainability.

 

Check out the flyers available or go to the Humble tab at the myRLC Homeowners portal to learn more about this program. Homeowners can also approach their respective Property Management Office for more information.
