A shimmering ribbon of water has long defined Singapore’s urban heart, and along its prestigious banks rises River Modern, a new 99-year leasehold development that promises to redefine upscale living in District 9‘s coveted River Valley enclave. Developed through a partnership between GuocoLand Limited and Hong Leong, this ambitious project features 455 residential units spread across two 36-storey towers, with completion slated for the second half of 2030.
Location remains the development’s strongest selling point, offering direct underground access to Great World MRT Station via Exit 1 on the Thomson-East Coast Line. Residents can also reach Great World City Mall through a dedicated underpass connection, making daily errands remarkably convenient.
Seamless connectivity defines modern luxury—underground MRT access and direct mall connection elevate everyday convenience to an art form.
The proximity to Orchard Road and the CBD adds further appeal, while families will appreciate having River Valley Primary School, a top-tier institution, located just across the road within one kilometre. Both ACS (Junior) and St. Margaret’s Primary School are situated within 2km, expanding educational options for young families.
The pricing structure of River Modern reflects the premium positioning, with 2-bedroom units starting from S$1.55 million and per-square-foot rates ranging between S$2,877 and S$3,300. For context, a sample 646-square-foot unit carries a price tag of S$1,828,888 at S$2,831.10 psf, translating to estimated monthly loan repayments from S$5,491. These figures align with the land acquisition cost of S$1,420 psf per residential area, demonstrating competitive pricing for the location.
Prospective buyers can choose from configurations spanning 2-bedroom to 4-bedroom layouts, with over 60% comprising 3- and 4-bedroom units. The larger 4-bedroom residences feature private lifts, adding an exclusive touch, while over 70% of all units offer river-facing views that capitalize on the waterfront setting.
Facilities include a 50-meter infinity pool with spa alcoves, a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and GuocoLand’s signature Grand Lawn for outdoor activities. The development has earned Green Mark Platinum certification and incorporates smart home technology throughout, with ipli Architects crafting a tropical modernist facade that balances aesthetics with functionality. The site occupies approximately 11,736 square meters on a Government Land Sales parcel along River Valley Green.
With over 80% of the site dedicated to landscaping and amenities, River Modern positions itself as an all-encompassing lifestyle destination for discerning homebuyers. The Great World Station on the TEL links previously unconnected areas to the rail network, supporting access to schools and commercial developments in the vicinity.
