4 Factors to consider in finding your dream home

Purchasing or investing in a new home is a big step that needs thoughtful and careful evaluation. Whether you want to buy a studio unit or a penthouse, there are many things to consider before signing that contract, so you can make the most of your time and money.
 
Here are some of the important factors to go over while you search and before you buy your dream home.

​1. Made by a trusted developer

Buying a new home is a big investment that comes with a significant cost. That is why you should search for one that combines good quality and value for money – two things that are present on properties made by RLC Residences.

As the residential arm of Robinsons Land Corporation, RLC Residences is a brand that continues to deliver quality condo units backed by its 30-year experience and credibility. RLC Residences properties offer a home that features an elevated lifestyle, promotes smart and productive living, and creates connections to a world of excellent opportunities – a translation of its brand promise "Raise, Live, Connect."
​
Living life in any of the brand's world-class residential developments guarantees condo seekers like you with beautiful and well-designed homes worthy of an investment and an address that you can proudly call yours.

​2. Above Ordinary Home Standards

More than just a place to eat and sleep, having a home that brings the best in life is the right decision to make. This is one of the major factors consistent in RLC Residences properties.
One of RLC Residences' brand pillars is about raising the standard of living through an elevated lifestyle experience. These include high-quality spaces, tasteful architecture and design, and elegant lobbies.

One example is The Residences at The Westin Manila Sonata Place. Located at the heart of Ortigas Center, this premier condominium lives up to its promise of raising the game through its modern and chic façade, a grand lobby, suite-like unit spaces equipped with appliances and fixtures from world-renowned brands Gaggenau, Leicht, Duravit, and Hansgrohe, and exclusive VIP benefits for a pampered, hotel-like living experience. It is also the first Westin-branded residence in Southeast Asia, boasting multiple signature facilities guided by the brand's six pillars of well-being - sleep well, eat well, work well, move well, play well, and feel well. 
​
Another noteworthy mention is The Radiance Manila Bay along Roxas Boulevard, a property with an address in front of the historic Cultural Center of the Philippines and a view of Manila Bay. Sporting its modern architectural design, its spacious units that come with a balcony, along with its wellness amenities, are specifically designed with the urban family's dynamic lifestyle in mind.

​3. Supports a smart-way of living

With the rise of hybrid workforces and remote working, it is essential to consider smart living in your new home. 
The real estate developer gives its homeowners a chance to live smart and productive through its smart home features and digital solutions for a hassle-free condo experience.
 
Its units are built to keep up with evolving work trends and designed to give homeowners ample space to accommodate work-from-home setups. The brand's promise of quality also lives through every detail and finish of the flats, amenities, and common areas with the integration of digital solutions to everyday living. SYNC in Pasig and The Sapphire Bloc's South Tower in Ortigas are some of the RLC Residences' properties that offer these smart home features.
 
RLC Residences has Ring Rob Concierge, an online service request platform exclusive to the brand's properties featuring multiple services, including housekeeping, laundry, carwash, repairs and preventive maintenance, storage, trucking, and even online food delivery.
 
It even has myRLC, an exclusive homeowner's web-based portal that addresses daily concerns like inquiries, account management, and payments.
These digital solutions are the brand's way to provide continuous and safe service to its homeowners, given the health crisis's current physical restrictions.

​4. Desirable Location

Location is also a significant factor to consider before buying your dream home.
 
It is a wise choice to live in a place near your workplace, key establishments, and schools as it saves you transportation time and money. Connections to transportation hubs and having access to exclusive lifestyle perks and privileges within the property's prime location translates to opportunities for leisure and bonding with families and friends.
 
RLC Residences' properties are all located strategically, either within or near Central Business Districts or in Robinsons Land Corporation's (RLC) destination estates. The Magnolia Residences in New Manila and Galleria Residences Cebu, for example, are both situated inside RLC's own mixed-use complexes, which are headlined by a full-scale mall with retail shops. These two, as well as the other RLC Residences condos, are also situated near essential establishments, offices, commercial centers, and educational institutions.
