River Valley Green is Singapore’s most watched residential precinct of 2025–2026 — a deliberate, masterplanned cluster of three Government Land Sale (GLS) sites in the heart of District 9, all within minutes of Great World MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line, TE15). Unlike standalone new launches, River Valley Green is a precinct play: URA has staggered three parcels over 2–3 years, creating a rising tide of interest, profile, and capital value for buyers and investors who move early.
Parcel A — now launched as River Green by GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings — sold 88% of its 524 units on launch day in August 2025. Parcel B — River Modern by GuocoLand — is previewing from 20 February 2026 at $2,900–$3,100 PSF. And Parcel C, the final GLS site, is expected to be released for tender in April 2026. This guide covers all three parcels, compares them for buyers and investors, and explains why River Valley Green may be the defining CCR address of the decade.
River Valley Green — The Three-Parcel Masterplan
River Valley Green sits on a stretch of land between Zion Road and River Valley Road, one of Singapore’s most established and sought-after residential corridors in Core Central Region (CCR). What makes this precinct exceptional is that it is not a single development — it is a URA-planned residential precinct built from three GLS parcels tendered in sequence, each contributing to an interconnected neighbourhood with shared green spaces, pedestrian connectivity, and a rising precinct premium.
The masterplan logic is straightforward: URA releases each parcel with a staggered timeline so that as each development launches, it builds on the goodwill and market evidence established by the previous one. River Green set a benchmark. River Modern will refine it. Parcel C will cap it. Buyers who enter early benefit from lower quantum and precinct tailwinds; those who wait pay for proven scarcity.
All three parcels are within a short walk of Great World MRT (TE15), which connects directly to Orchard, Marina Bay, and the full length of the Thomson-East Coast Line — giving residents island-wide connectivity with zero bus dependency. The precinct also sits close to the Singapore River, Great World City mall, and the established F&B and lifestyle belt of Robertson Quay and Mohamed Sultan Road.
- Parcel A (River Green): 524 units, 99-year leasehold, launched August 2025
- Parcel B (River Modern): 455 units, 99-year leasehold, previewing February 2026
- Parcel C: ~470 units, 1.15 ha, GPR 3.5, GLS tender expected April 2026
For buyers comparing new launch condos in Singapore, this precinct offers something rare: the ability to evaluate three comparable new developments side by side, in the same micro-location, at different price points and stages of launch.
Parcel A — River Green (Already Launched, 88% Sold)
River Green, developed jointly by GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings, delivered one of the most dramatic launch-day results in Singapore’s CCR history. On its launch day in August 2025, 88% of its 524 units were sold — a figure that signalled exceptional pent-up demand for quality CCR product at the River Valley Green address.
Key project details:
- Developer: GuocoLand + Hong Leong Holdings (HLH)
- Total units: 524
- Tenure: 99-year leasehold
- Average PSF: approximately $3,281–$3,512 PSF
- TOP: Q2 2030
- Status: ~88% sold as of launch (August 2025)
At $3,281–$3,512 PSF, River Green is priced at a meaningful premium to OCR and even some RCR new launches — but buyers justified this against the CCR location, Great World MRT connectivity, GuocoLand’s track record (Wallich Residence, Midtown Modern), and the scarcity of comparable new launches in D9.
The 88% Day 1 sellthrough was not accidental. It reflected:
- A precinct narrative that gave buyers confidence in long-term value
- Strong VVIP preview demand in the weeks prior
- GuocoLand’s ability to deliver institutional-grade product in CCR
- Genuine scarcity of new freehold or 99-year CCR supply in 2025
For buyers who missed River Green, the remaining units (approximately 12%) may still be available for direct developer purchase — but the primary opportunity has now shifted to Parcel B and Parcel C, where early entry pricing is still accessible.
Parcel B — River Modern (Launching 2026)
River Modern is the second act of the River Valley Green story — and arguably the most compelling entry point right now. Developed by GuocoLand (sole developer for Parcel B), River Modern brings 455 units to market at a pricing range of $2,900–$3,100 PSF, positioned slightly below River Green’s final achieved prices.
Key project details:
- Developer: GuocoLand
- Total units: 455
- Tenure: 99-year leasehold
- Price range: ~$2,900–$3,100 PSF (indicative)
- Preview: From 20 February 2026
- Status: Accepting VVIP registrations
The name “River Modern” signals GuocoLand’s design intent — a contemporary take on River Valley living, with architecture and unit layouts oriented toward the Singapore River corridor and the greenery that defines the precinct. Unit types are expected to span from 1-bedroom investors to 4-bedroom family layouts, catering to both the CCR rental market and long-term owner-occupiers.
At $2,900–$3,100 PSF, River Modern is priced at a discount to River Green’s achieved prices — an unusual dynamic in new launch markets, where later parcels in a precinct typically price at a premium once market evidence from Parcel A establishes a baseline. This may reflect GuocoLand’s intent to drive strong opening velocity and build on River Green’s momentum, or may factor in site-specific differences between the two parcels.
For investors considering ABSD Singapore 2026 implications and overall acquisition costs, River Modern’s lower quantum per unit (relative to River Green’s final prices) is a meaningful advantage. Buyers should review their TDSR Singapore 2026 position and factor in ABSD where applicable before committing.
The preview period beginning 20 February 2026 is the optimal window to register VVIP interest, secure preferred unit choices, and access direct developer pricing before public launch.
Parcel C — The Next River Valley Launch (April 2026)
Parcel C is the final piece of the River Valley Green masterplan — a GLS site with approximately 470 units, 1.15 hectares of land area, and a Gross Plot Ratio (GPR) of 3.5. The site is expected to be released for GLS tender in April 2026, meaning the eventual developer will be confirmed later in 2026 before a project launch likely in 2027 or beyond.
Site specifications:
- Approximate units: ~470
- Land area: ~1.15 hectares
- Gross Plot Ratio: 3.5
- GLS tender release: Expected April 2026
- Estimated launch: 2027 (post-tender, post-planning)
Understanding the Singapore GLS tender 2026 process is important for buyers tracking Parcel C. Once URA releases the site for tender, developers bid competitively — and the winning bid directly informs the eventual selling price. Given that River Green achieved $3,281–$3,512 PSF and River Modern is launching at $2,900–$3,100 PSF, the Parcel C developer will have significant market evidence to anchor pricing decisions.
Parcel C represents an opportunity for buyers who:
- Want maximum time to plan finances and ABSD strategy before commitment
- Prefer to buy after a developer and product design are confirmed
- Are tracking the precinct’s cumulative value build-up over time
- Are open to a later TOP date (likely 2030–2031 at earliest)
The risk for Parcel C buyers is that pricing will likely reflect the full precinct premium by the time it launches — Parcel C is expected to be the most expensive of the three, benefitting from the track record of River Green and River Modern.
Which Parcel Is Right for You?
Each River Valley Green parcel appeals to a different buyer profile. Here is a direct comparison to help you decide:
| Factor | River Green (Parcel A) | River Modern (Parcel B) | Parcel C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Status | 88% sold, limited units | Previewing now | GLS tender April 2026 |
| Price PSF | $3,281–$3,512 | $2,900–$3,100 | TBA (est. higher) |
| Developer | GuocoLand + HLH | GuocoLand | TBA |
| TOP | Q2 2030 | ~2030 | ~2031+ |
| Best for | Confirmed unit urgency | Best current entry value | Long-term planning |
Our recommendation: For buyers ready to move now, River Modern (Parcel B) offers the best combination of value, developer pedigree, and precinct positioning. At $2,900–$3,100 PSF, it is priced below River Green’s proven sellthrough prices — creating a rare buy-in opportunity at a relative discount in a precinct that has demonstrated exceptional demand.
If your timeline extends beyond 2026, register interest in Parcel C early — the April 2026 GLS tender will determine the developer and eventual pricing trajectory for the final chapter of the River Valley Green masterplan.
