Welcome to the future of sustainable living, where elegance meets eco-friendliness! RLC Residences has once again set the bar high with Le Pont Residences, their latest premium development that has just received its preliminary EDGE Advanced certification from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). This remarkable achievement underscores RLC Residences' unwavering commitment to crafting homes that are not only luxurious but also kind to the environment.

Imagine stepping into a beautifully designed condo flooded with natural light, thanks to energy-efficient windows. Picture lush green spaces within the building, providing a serene escape in the heart of the city. This is the vision behind Le Pont Residences, a dream realized through innovative design and sustainable practices.


So, what’s the big deal about this EDGE certification, you ask? Well, EDGE stands for Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies, a globally recognized green building standard initiated by the World Bank’s IFC. This certification is not just a badge of honor; it’s a testament to a building's resource-efficient design, ensuring it meets stringent standards for energy, water, and material savings.

Le Pont Residences' preliminary EDGE Advanced certification is particularly noteworthy because it signifies that the project promises to deliver at least 40% energy savings, 20% water savings, and 20% less embodied energy in materials compared to a conventional building. These figures far exceed the standard EDGE certification requirements, making Le Pont Residences a frontrunner in sustainable luxury living.


Launched in January 2023, Le Pont Residences is nestled within the Bridgetowne Destination Estate in Pasig City. This isn't just another high-rise; it’s a sanctuary designed with sustainability at its core. One of the standout features? A rainwater harvesting system that collects and recycles rainwater for non-potable uses like watering landscaped areas. How cool is that?

Inside the building, water conservation is taken to the next level with water-efficient fixtures in common areas and condo units. Think showerheads, faucets, water closets, and bidets designed to lower water usage. These thoughtful inclusions are set to achieve a whopping 34.66% savings in water consumption, as evaluated by the Philippine Green Building Initiative (PGBI).


When it comes to energy savings, Le Pont Residences doesn’t hold back. Efficient lighting systems will illuminate both internal and external areas, while the building’s facade is designed to provide ample shade, reducing the need for cooling systems. Plus, green landscaped areas and well-insulated roofs and walls work together to keep the building naturally cool.

The parking areas are no exception to this eco-friendly ethos. Sensors will monitor carbon monoxide levels, activating the car park ventilation system only when needed. This smart system not only ensures a safe environment but also contributes to the building's overall energy efficiency, with an impressive 45.37% energy savings.


Stephanie Anne Go, Assistant Vice President and Business Development and Design Head of RLC Residences, couldn’t have said it better: “We believe in creating homes that reflect the values and lifestyle of our homeowners, while also keeping in mind the impact of our projects on the environment.” Le Pont Residences is a shining example of this philosophy, blending sustainable features seamlessly into everyday life.

RLC Residences is not just building homes; they’re building a legacy of sustainability. With Le Pont Residences, they are paving the way for more eco-conscious developments, empowering homeowners to live sustainably without compromising on luxury. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what RLC Residences has in store for the future.

So, are you ready to be part of this green revolution? Le Pont Residences is more than just a place to live; it’s a lifestyle choice that promises a better future for you and the planet.
