River Modern Site Plan

Introduction

The site plan for River Modern Condominium is designed to capitalize on its 126,325-square-foot site and its enviable location. While specific layout details are not yet available, the development is expected to feature two high-rise towers, a design approach consistent with GuocoLand’s previous projects like Martin Modern, which comprises two 30-storey towers with 450 units (Martin Modern). The towers are likely to be strategically oriented to maximize views of the Singapore River, Kim Seng Park, and the city skyline, ensuring that residents enjoy breathtaking vistas from their homes.

The site’s long frontage along Kim Seng Park suggests that the towers will be positioned to take advantage of the park’s greenery and the river’s scenic beauty. Drawing from Martin Modern, where over 80% of the site is dedicated to lush landscaping, River Modern is likely to feature extensive green spaces, including landscaped gardens, walking paths, and water features. The commercial shops on the first storey will form part of the common property owned by residents, contributing to the MCST’s income and enhancing the development’s self-sufficiency.

The site plan is expected to incorporate sustainable design elements, such as energy-efficient systems and green building materials, aligning with GuocoLand’s commitment to environmental responsibility. For example, Martin Modern includes features like rainwater harvesting and green roofs, and River Modern may follow suit, potentially aiming for a Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark certification.

Anticipated Amenities and Facilities

River Modern is set to offer a comprehensive suite of world-class amenities, reflecting GuocoLand’s reputation for delivering luxury developments. While specific facilities are not yet confirmed, insights from projects like Martin Modern and The Avenir provide a strong indication of what residents can expect:

• Infinity-Edge Swimming Pool: A centerpiece for relaxation, offering panoramic views of the Singapore River and city skyline.
• State-of-the-Art Fitness Center: Equipped with modern gym equipment, yoga studios, and spaces for cardio and strength training.
• Lush Landscaped Gardens: Designed as serene oases with walking paths, seating areas, and water features, inspired by Martin Modern’s botanic garden concept with over 200 plant species (Martin Modern).
• Clubhouse: A versatile venue for social gatherings, private events, and community activities, fostering a sense of community.

The first-storey commercial shops will add significant value, offering residents access to cafes, convenience stores, and boutique retail without leaving the development. These amenities, combined with the site’s waterfront setting, will create a resort-like atmosphere that elevates the living experience.
