As GuocoLand Limited advances its District 9 riverfront pipeline, the developer is set to commence the sales preview for River Modern on 20 February 2026, ahead of a formal launch targeted for Q2 2026.
The development is positioned around modern waterfront living, with the riverside setting central to its design intent.
Positioned on a 126,325 sq ft riverfront parcel in River Valley beside the Singapore River and Kim Seng Park, the 99-year leasehold development will feature two 36-storey towers with 455 residential units.
The preview is pitched from S$2,877 psf, with published guidance indicating S$2,641 to S$3,300 psf, and S$2,593 to S$3,300 psf in alternative listings.
Market observers attribute the quantum to a premium land bid and to GuocoLand’s confidence that District 9 scarcity can support future capital appreciation.
Across the inventory, two- to four-bedroom apartments are planned, and over 60% are configured as three- and four-bedroom homes.
Four-bedroom options span 1,464 sq ft and 1,830 sq ft, include private lift access, and adopt wide frontages above 6 metres, while roughly 70% of units are oriented for unblocked Singapore River views.
Accessibility is strengthened by a direct connection to Great World MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line and an underground pedestrian network to Great World shopping mall, enabling rail links to Orchard Road, Stevens, Shenton Way, and the wider CBD.
The site faces River Valley Primary School and sits within 2km of Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), St. Margaret’s School, and Alexandra Primary, while road connections provide straightforward travel to Singapore Botanic Gardens, Marina Bay, and East Coast Park, and future network extensions are slated to improve access to Changi Airport Terminal 5 and the Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS.
At the first storey, about 4,300 sq ft of commercial shops is planned as common-area activation, complemented by elevated tower siting for landscaping and views toward Orchard Road, River Valley, and Marina Bay Sands. More than 80% of the site is dedicated to landscaping and facilities.
A Green Mark Platinum (Super Lower Energy) certification is targeted.
GuocoLand, backed by the Hong Leong Group and known for Martin Modern, Guoco Tower, and Lentor Modern, reported S$7 billion in investment properties as at 31 December 2025, with an estimated TOP in 2H 2030 for the project. The District 9 location within the Core Central Region supports robust rental yields driven by expatriate demand and limited new supply.
