Stephanie Anne Go, Assistant Vice President and Business Development and Design Head at RLC Residences, shared her excitement about the design philosophy behind Le Pont Residences: “Imagine coming home to a beautiful, well-designed condo where you will be greeted by natural light streaming through energy-efficient windows. Picture an open space landscaped with plants within the condo where you can enjoy nature amidst the bustling city landscape. At home, see yourself as a homeowner who contributes to water conservation, thanks to water-saving fixtures installed in your unit. These and more are the things we had in mind when we designed Le Pont Residences, and we at RLC Residences are truly grateful to IFC for recognizing our efforts for sustainable living,” says Go.

EDGE, which stands for Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies, is a global green building certification system managed by the World Bank’s IFC. It helps developers create more eco-friendly buildings through cost-effective and sustainable practices while ensuring high quality.

Le Pont Residences, launched in January 2023 within the Bridgetowne Destination Estate in Pasig City, integrates various sustainable features. These include a rainwater harvesting system to reuse rainwater for landscaping and water-efficient fixtures in residences and common areas to minimize water usage. The development is designed to achieve a 34.66% savings in water consumption.

Energy efficiency is also a key focus at Le Pont Residences. Features like efficient lighting, a well-shaded facade, ample green spaces, and insulated structures are designed to reduce the reliance on artificial cooling. Additionally, sensors in parking areas help manage ventilation based on carbon monoxide levels, contributing to a safer environment and a 45.37% savings in energy consumption.

“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 one of the projects that brings to life this philosophy, where we’ve thoughtfully blended sustainable features into every aspect of our clients’ everyday life. We are optimistic that having these features will empower more home seekers to live sustainably, and we’re constantly seeking new ways to design homes that are as kind to the planet as they are to you,” concludes Go.
