River Modern, a Guocoland development in the heart of Singapore, offers the best of sophisticated, waterside living.

There is something special about living next to water. But when you combine it with proximity to amenities, and a location in the heart of Singapore, you have a residential proposition that is near impossible to beat.

The twin-tower development sits in central Singapore, in District 9, offering residents a convenient city-living experience close to the Singapore River and the civic district. The project is developed by GuocoLand, a developer known for its focus on design and quality, which also built the reputed Martin Modern nearby.

River Modern has been planned to appeal to buyers who want the best and most convenient in a luxurious lifestyle: city access, gorgeous views, a tranquil yet functional environment, expansive facilities, and practical home layouts.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

River Modern is located in the Robertson Quay and River Valley area, one of Singapore’s established residential districts close to the city core. It’s District 9 address is as exclusive as it comes as there are increasingly limited sites within this sought-after precinct.

This site is directly connected to Great World MRT and mall. Dining and leisure options at Robertson Quay, Clarke Quay and Boat Quay are just a short walk away, and a short drive or train ride will take you to the Orchard Road shopping belt and the Central Business District in no time.

River Modern is also close to River Valley Primary School, Anglo-Chinese Junior School, St Margaret’s School, and Alexandra Primary School.

ARCHITECTURE MEETS ART

Designed by renowned firm ipli Architects, River Modern is a showcase of how aesthetics, architecture and the environment meet at the delta of design. Inspired by the movement of the Singapore River where the property abuts, River Modern takes its cue from the natural highlights of this prime location, and transforms it into a balance of private and communal areas with a sensible modernity that fits its high-end urban context.

One of the most attractive attributes of River Modern must be its landscaping.

Tinderbox Landscape Studio adopted a biodiversity-driven approach to curate four different zones. The River Zone curates a thoughtful planting palette, introducing complementary species of flora into the common spaces.

The Pool Zone boasts a 50m pool with a spa alcove on one end, and an infinity edge on the other that offers expansive views towards Kim Seng Park. The Lawn Zone – which also includes tennis courts and a playground – creates a space to encourage creativity and social interaction within the residential community.

And finally, the Forest Zone, which forms the backdrop of the clubhouse, has a sublime outdoor setting where residents can engage in yoga, or simply to relax, under the comforting canopy of trees. Perhaps the strongest attributes of the River Modern site are its river frontage and the city views.

Frontage with the Singapore River stretches over 180m, and nearly three quarters of all units have views of the water. The location is unique in that it not only offers unobstructed views of the historical tributary, but the two blocks, which are positioned about 100m from each other, do not overlap or overlook one another, and are rotated for optimal orientation and vantage.

The property is elevated five stories above ground, giving even first-story unites excellent views and openness.

FORM FITS FUNCTION

Unit mix and sizes have been carefully formulated to meet the needs of buyers who want the best in the place they call home.

Two and four-bedroom units are available, with the larger units offering 1830 sq ft of living space, very wide frontage, and an ambience designed to support a lifestyle of entertaining and relaxing. The specially located sack of four-bedroom apartments can even be thought off as having an entire block of penthouses within the development. Flexibility in unit layout has been a main feature of the design brief, so the regularity of space is offered for residents who want to align their apartments to their needs.

As an example a flex room in each unit can be a study or utility, but the walls can be removed completely to integrate the space with the kitchen. Options like this allows people the option to design their abodes the way they want to live. Thoughtful and sensible design, built very well, and accented with bold touches of sophistication are have become the trademarks of developments by Guocoland.

In River Modern, they’ve established a footprint that is as prime as can be, and presents a development that will meet the exacting demands of those looking for exquisite residences in the heart of District 9, with a riverfront location.
