Property developers play a pivotal role in shaping our lives. Their projects, which span residential, commercial, and leisure sectors, often define the way we live, work, play, and find inspiration. These developments stand as testaments to a company's vision and commitment to creating transformative and sustainable impact on communities. 

One such visionary developer leading the charge is Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC). In recent accolades, Robinsons Land once again solidified its position at the forefront of real estate excellence garnering top honors at the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards 2023 as the "Best Developer (Philippines)" for second year in a row, alongside 17 other awards. This recognition reaffirms RLC’s status as an industry trailblazer, an innovator, and even a barometer of the real estate sector's performance. Moreover, RLC was also bestowed with the title of "Best Developer (Visayas)" expanding its impact across the entire nation.

Robinsons Land's influence extends across various facets of Filipino life, represented by its diverse portfolio of brands and developments. Each unit under RLC brings a unique perspective and value proposition to the table, collectively contributing to the company's remarkable success.

RLC President and CEO Frederick D. Go encapsulates Robinsons Land's core mission, stating, "We continuously strive to create shared success with every Filipino through the projects we build, the communities we shape, and the sustainable practices we promote."

The title of "Best Developer” in the country underscores RLC’s unwavering commitment to creating meaningful and sustainable developments. Sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives are at the forefront of its mission, earning it a Special Recognition in ESG and a Highly Commended citation in the “Best Sustainable Developer” category. 

The company also places a spotlight on its corporate social responsibility arm, "RLove," under the Robinsons Land Foundation Inc., ensuring that both the company and its projects generate positive impact within the communities they serve.

RLC Residences: Giving Filipinos the opportunity to live their best lives

RLC Residences understands that constructing vertical residences isn't merely about building structures; it's about crafting lifestyles through beautiful, well-designed condominiums envisioned by world-class designers, located in accessible districts, and offering urban convenience and serenity. This is the essence of RLC Residences, encapsulated by its "Raise, Live, and Connect" mantra.

RLC Residences has elevated the lifestyles of Filipino families across the country. PropertyGuru acknowledged RLC Residences as the "Best Lifestyle Developer." One of their premier luxury residential towers, The Residences at The Westin Manila was bestowed upon the "Best Luxury Condo Development (Metro Manila)."

Chad Sotelo, SVP and General Manager of RLC Residences, expressed gratitude, saying, "We are truly honored to be recognized along with the best in the country, and we are equally proud to be part of Robinsons Land and its quest to bring to life world-class real estate developments here in the country.”

More accolades poured in for RLC Residences, including “Best Condo Development (Luzon)” for Sierra Valley Gardens; “Best Smart Home Development” for Woodsville Crest; and a Highly Commended citation for “Best Integrated WFH Development” for SYNC. 

These citations validate RLC Residences’ dedication to crafting delightful customer experiences and constructing beautiful, well-designed living spaces. These developments not only cater to the needs of their stakeholders but also empower them to design and live their best lives.

Sotelo revealed the importance of customer feedback in bringing success to RLC Residences' offerings, stating, "We consider ourselves as a team working alongside our clients in terms of designing condominiums. We believe that they are our biggest influence in coming up with the right condo features based on what they look for in a place that they will call theirs."

Robinsons Homes, the subdivision unit of RLC, also plays a significant role in enabling Filipinos to start, enjoy, and share the good life. With a commitment to offering affordable, accessible, and aspirational homes, Robinsons Homes' Springdale project was recognized as Highly Commended in the "Best Subdivision Development" category.

Robinsons Offices: Championing sustainability and economic resilience

Robinsons Offices, another vital arm of Robinsons Land, is on a mission to develop premium, sustainable, and future-ready office spaces. 
 

Jericho P. Go, SVP and General Manager of Robinsons Offices, shared his perspective on the company's achievements and aspirations. "We are on a mission to make our offices an integral part of our commitment toward nation-building through three core tenets: job generation, decentralization, and sustainability." 

Robinsons Offices' projects, including the award-winning GBF Center 1 & 2 at the Bridgetowne Destination Estate — PropertyGuru Awards’ “Best Office Development” — have attracted top IT-BPM and multinational companies. These developments are not only anticipated to stand as sustainable architectural marvels but also to serve as catalysts for increased job opportunities, thereby playing a major role in driving economic recovery. “The jobs created when people work in offices have a 5x multiplier effect spanning the sectors of transportation, food, retail, hospitality and healthcare,” Go further explains.

Additionally, Robinsons Offices’ presence in key cities and multiple provincial sites like Cybergate Iloilo Towers 1 and 2, recognized by PropertyGuru as the “Best BPO Office Development,”

promotes countryside developments that keep families together. This also helps decongest the crowded metropolis and makes it more livable as there is less pollution and strain on transportation, electricity, water, and other vital resources.

“For every office we build, particularly those in the provinces, it means there is one less family member being separated from the family,” said Go. “Our mission is to keep the Filipino family together. This is why we are passionate about the work that we do. We know that what we do matters.”

Go also highlighted the company's longstanding commitment to environmental sustainability, it being at the core of their projects. This ensures that gains achieved such as progress and technological advancements may be enjoyed by future generations. “We aim to bestow upon future generations a better and brighter tomorrow”, Go highlights. Notably, Cyber Omega in Pasig City received a "Highly Commended" recognition in the "Best Green Development" category.

Robinsons Offices has achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for several of its buildings, including Exxa, Zeta, and Tera towers in Bridgetowne. They are also actively seeking EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Certification with the International Finance Corporation. As the first office REIT EDGE Champion, Robinsons Offices’ five (5) office buildings, including Cyberscape Beta, Cyberscape Gamma, Cyberscape Alpha, Robinsons Cybergate Galleria Cebu, and Cyber Omega, have attained EDGE certification.
