River Modern at River Valley Green (Parcel B) is more than just a prime piece of land in Singapore’s prestigious District 9—it is the future address that will redefine luxury riverside living in the heart of the city. Rising directly above Great World MRT Station on the Thomson–East Coast Line, this extraordinary site connects you effortlessly to Orchard Road, the Central Business District, Marina Bay, and the East Coast, while letting you enjoy the calm of a waterfront neighbourhood. Imagine waking up each morning to sweeping views of the Singapore River and the glittering city skyline, taking a quick lift ride down to your favourite artisanal café at your doorstep, or strolling across to Great World City for boutique shopping and gourmet dining—all without ever needing to drive. Spanning about 11,736 sqm (126,300 sq ft) with a generous gross plot ratio of 3.5 and a maximum GFA of 41,076 sqm (442,000 sq ft), this rare residential-with-commercial gem allows for a curated lifestyle blend—chic retail spaces on the first storey, lush sky terraces above, and sophisticated residences in between. Tendered under the Government Land Sales programme, River Modern drew strong developer interest, with five competitive bids underscoring its allure. GuocoLand, through its subsidiary GLL B Pte Ltd, secured the site at S$627.8 million (S$1,420 psf ppr), a clear vote of confidence in its unmatched attributes—direct MRT integration, absolute river frontage, and adjacency to one of Singapore’s most vibrant lifestyle hubs. This winning bid, higher than neighbouring Parcel A and Zion Road sites, signals GuocoLand’s intention to create a landmark development that will stand alongside its award-winning portfolio like Guoco Midtown and Wallich Residence. Early plans reveal two elegant towers, possibly 36–40 storeys each, housing approximately 455–530 exclusive units ranging from stylish one-bedroom city pads to sprawling four-bedroom family suites and penthouses that crown the skyline. Every home will be meticulously designed with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and premium finishes, allowing natural light and breathtaking vistas to take centre stage. Sustainability will be woven into every detail, with the project targeting Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certification, meaning advanced cooling systems, energy-efficient lighting, smart home features, and extensive greenery will harmonise luxury with environmental consciousness. Picture a day in the life here: begin with a sunrise jog along Kim Seng Park, stop by your favourite riverside café for breakfast, spend the afternoon shopping at Orchard or working from a sky lounge with panoramic views, and unwind in the evening with a glass of wine as the lights of Robertson Quay shimmer across the river. With sheltered basement access to Great World MRT, you can reach Marina Bay Sands in under 10 minutes, Orchard Road in just two stops, and Changi Airport in about 35 minutes, making travel effortless for both work and leisure. Families will appreciate the proximity to top schools such as River Valley Primary, ISS International School, and Chatsworth International, while the neighbourhood’s mix of fine dining, cosy eateries, art galleries, and waterfront bars ensures every generation finds something to love. Investors will recognise the compelling rental appeal—expatriates and business travellers are drawn to the area’s connectivity and lifestyle, and with provisions for long-stay serviced apartments, the development offers flexibility for corporate leases, extended-stay arrangements, and multi-generational living. The limited supply of large-scale, riverfront, MRT-integrated sites in the Core Central Region means that River Valley Green Parcel B is poised to become one of the most valuable addresses in Singapore, with analysts projecting launch prices around S$3,000 psf—reflecting both its rarity and its premium design. GuocoLand’s vision is to deliver not just residences, but an entire curated lifestyle—think lush landscaped gardens, cascading water features, wellness pavilions, infinity pools overlooking the river, private dining rooms for entertaining, and concierge services that cater to your every need. From the moment you arrive at its grand drop-off, framed by modern architecture and lush greenery, you will feel a sense of prestige and exclusivity that only a handful of addresses in Singapore can command. This is where the energy of the city meets the tranquillity of the river, where every convenience is at your doorstep, and where coming home feels like stepping into a five-star sanctuary. For the discerning few who secure a home here, River Modern will not just be an address—it will be a statement of success, a lifestyle investment, and a legacy for generations to come.
