A prime address in the central area and an MRT station at your doorstep - for many prospective homebuyers, this is the very definition of a dream home.

It came as no surprise then that units at River Green and River Modern - which fit the description perfectly - were swiftly snapped up at launch weekend, with River Green moved 88% of its 524 units while River Modern shifted 90% of its 455 units. Both projects are more than 90% sold at the time of writing. For those who have missed out on them, another opportunity beckons.

River Valley is set to welcome a third condominium into its ranks following the tender closing of a government land sales (GLS) site in River Valley Green (Parcel C), which is a stone's throw from River Green and River Modern. Its land tender drew four bids from developers, with the top bid of $750 million submitted by a joint venture comprising SMCL Haven and CSC Land Group. The top bid works out to a land rate of $1,730 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr), marking the highest land rate recorded among the three River Valley Green GLS plots. The Parcel C site is expected to inject 470 new private homes into the area.

Convenience At Your Doorstep

One of the site's key strengths lies in its exceptional location. Situated near to the Great World MRT station, the upcoming development offers residents seamless connectivity to the rest of Singapore while enjoying the conveniences of a central address.

The plot is 5-minutes' walk to the Great World City MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) - seamlessly connecting it to interchanges at Outram Park, Orchard, Stevens, Caldecott, and Marina Bay. The project's link to the TEL also makes it a breeze to head to the central business district (CBD), with office workers able to directly travel to financial hubs in Maxwell, Shenton Way and Marina Bay a mere three to five stations away. Future residents heading for a weekend getaway in Malaysia can hop the TEL to get to the Johor Bahru - Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link at Woodlands North MRT station.

Amenities & Schools aplenty

It is also one station from the famous Orchard Road shopping belt, putting a wide variety of shops and services within easy reach. Residents looking for food and retail options closer to home can head to the Great World mall, Zion Riverside Food Centre, the future Zyon Galleria, or the shops at the ground floor of upcoming River Modern nearby - perfect for a weekend grocery run or quick 'dabao' options.

Meanwhile, the trendy lifestyle cluster at New Bahru is less than 15-minutes' walk away, housing many local culinary spots, wellness amenities, and small retail businesses. Those seeking out green spaces to unwind or log a run can also find respite in nearby Kim Seng Park and the park connector by the Singapore River.

There are also a good number of schools in the vicinity. River Valley Primary School is next to the site, while many other popular primary schools like Alexandra Primary School, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), St. Margaret's School (Primary), and Zhangde Primary School are within a 1-to-2km radius.

Beyond accessibility and convenience, the project is well-positioned in the highly sought-after River Valley neighbourhood, a mature residential enclave known for its vibrant lifestyle offerings. The upcoming project is expected to appeal to a wide range of buyers including investors and owner-occupiers who are drawn to the attractions of city living.
