RLC’s diverse portfolio was further celebrated with wins for The Mall | NUSTAR (Best Lifestyle Retail Development), The Residences at The Westin Manila (Best Completed Luxury Condo Development), and SYNC (Best Mid-End Condo Development), a testament to the company’s depth and innovation across multiple market segments.
The accolades come at a defining moment for RLC, which is celebrating 45 years of reshaping skylines, nurturing communities, and building a real estate portfolio that has earned the trust of generations.
Unveiled in 2023 and designed by Filipino-American visual artist Jefrë, The Victor is not merely a visual spectacle. It is a story cast in steel. Positioned at the heart of the 32-hectare Bridgetowne Destination Estate that bridges Quezon City and Pasig, the figure raises his fist skyward, a gesture of perseverance and triumph familiar to every Filipino who has ever pushed forward despite the odds.
The Victor Experience
Stand back, and the sheer scale of the structure pulls you in. Move closer, and the details emerge—reflective surfaces that shimmer with the city’s rhythm, angles that catch the shifting light, and a commanding stance that radiates determination.
At just the right instant, sunlight cuts through the sculpture’s core in a “sun-through-the-heart” moment, a fleeting experience that feels almost like a blessing.
Climb the steps toward the base, and you’ll discover one of The Victor’s quiet surprises: its surface reflects your own image. And in that instant, the message becomes clear. This is not simply a landmark celebrating an abstract idea of triumph. It is a mirror, reminding every visitor that they, too, are victors.
“The Victor represents more than an architectural achievement; it embodies RLC’s commitment to shaping the future of Philippine cities,” said Aragon-GoBio said.
In the glow of this prestigious international win, The Victor stands not just as a landmark, but as a promise—an enduring tribute to who Filipinos are, and to what they will continue to achieve. – Rappler.com
