The Bonifacio Capital District is set to continue the “Live, Work, Play, Inspire” mantra of RLC’s current destination estates, creating a holistic environment where everyone can thrive. Closely adhering to the "15-minute cities" concept, those who live, work, play or seek inspiration in the development will have everything they need or desire within a short – preferably walking – distance. The project will house residential units, commercial spaces, office buildings, hotels, parks and open spaces, and other recreational facilities, providing a seamless blend of modern living and unparalleled convenience. RLC’s commitment to creating world-class developments that contribute to the nation's growth is unwavering and through its partnership with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, it sets another milestone. The BCDA, which is dedicated to strengthening the Armed Forces of the Philippines while building great cities, plays a crucial role in this project. Through public-private partnerships, BCDA drives vital public infrastructure, including tollways, airports, seaports, and major real estate developments, creating economic opportunities and fostering vibrant communities across the country. Working together on the Bonifacio Capital District, RLC and BCDA are all set to dramatically transform the City of Taguig, raising the bar for purposeful, sustainable, and innovative urban living yet again. "This landmark project is part of the BCDA's initiative to create sustainable communities for businesses, residents and commuters, while also maximizing our assets' economic potential. With the help of RLC, we hope to create a model development for areas surrounding subway and railway stations to be developed within the BCDA's economic zones and properties," stated BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang.
