Nestled along the banks of the Singapore River, River Modern is a new residential development in District 9, one of the city-state’s most coveted addresses. Developed by GuocoLand Limited in partnership with Hong Leong and Hong Leong Holdings, the project sits on an 11,736 square metre site at Parcel B, River Valley Green. With a 99-year leasehold tenure and an expected TOP in 2029, it presents a compelling option for buyers seeking a premium riverfront home.
Perched along the Singapore River, River Modern redefines premium riverfront living in District 9’s most coveted address.
The development comprises two towers, each rising between 36 and 40 storeys, housing approximately 455 to 475 residential units in total. Unit types range from one- to four-bedroom apartments, including penthouses, with nearly half the units designed as three-bedroom layouts suited for families. The smallest available layout is a two-bedroom unit, and starting prices begin at S$1.548 million.
Location is arguably one of River Modern’s strongest selling points. The development sits directly above Great World MRT Station on the Thomson–East Coast Line, giving residents seamless access to the city. Orchard Road, Marina Bay, and the Central Business District are all within easy reach, whether by rail or via key roads like Kim Seng Road, Havelock Road, and the Ayer Rajah Expressway. Future connectivity plans include rail links to Changi Airport Terminal 5 and the Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS terminal, further enhancing the development’s long-term accessibility.
Families with school-going children will appreciate the proximity to several well-regarded institutions, including River Valley Primary School, which falls within the coveted one-kilometre radius. Alexandra Primary School, St. Margaret’s Primary School, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), and Zhangde Primary School are also nearby.
On the lifestyle front, the development features resort-style facilities, including a swimming pool, fitness zones, landscaped gardens, a clubhouse, and children’s play areas. Three sides of the site are bounded by Kim Seng Park, adding generous greenery to the living environment. Residents also benefit from immediate access to dining, retail, and entertainment options at Great World City and Robertson Quay, both just steps from the development. The development’s 50-metre infinity pool is positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding landscape, offering sweeping views toward Kim Seng Park and the Singapore River.
The two towers are intentionally angled to maximize river views, offering residents panoramic, unblocked vistas of the Singapore River. Select units feature expansive balconies with 5.5-metre frontages. The project officially launched on 17 October 2024, with its tender closing on 7 February 2025, and previews beginning 20 February 2026.
