SYNC, the four-tower condominium development in Pasig City, recently earned the Gold Award in the Residential High-Rise Category at the FIABCI Philippines Property and Real Estate Awards 2025, RLC Residences said.
Recognized for its outstanding design and structural innovation, SYNC features not only modern finishes and lifestyle-centric amenities, the development is built to endure, with safety and adaptability integrated into its structural design, RLC Residences said in a statement. FIABCI is a worldwide business networking organization for all professionals associated with the real estate industry.
The company said one standout engineering feature is the Sky Bridge that connects the four towers, specifically designed to withstand a magnitude 7.7 earthquake. Developed with seismic gap cover plates and tested through real-time hybrid shake table simulations, the bridge allows for erratic and independent movement between towers during seismic activity—ensuring both safety and structural integrity.
“Safety is always a top priority for us,” said Jose Rovie Cipriano, head of Construction Group 2 of RLC Residences. “For SYNC, we made sure to work with trusted experts and conduct detailed structural tests to help the building respond better during strong earthquakes. Features like the Sky Bridge were designed to allow movement and reduce stress on the structure, so it can adapt instead of fail. We also added rubber dampers that absorb shaking during earthquakes, and cover floor plate hinges that let the floors bend and twist without cracking. At the end of the day, we want to give our residents peace of mind—knowing their home was built with resilience in mind.”
Strategically located on C5, SYNC is designed for young professionals and urban achievers who value access, efficiency, and long-term investment.
Karen Cesario, marketing head and chief integration officer of RLC Residences, said SYNC is thoughtfully designed to support everyday living while keeping practical needs like safety and reliability in mind.
RLC Residence said SYNC’s S Tower is undergoing unit turnover, marking a significant milestone for early investors and residents. The remaining towers are under active construction, with the final building set to launch soon.
