Singapore, 24 April 2017 – The GuocoLand Limited Group (“GuocoLand”) revealed preliminary information of its latest luxury residential condo project in prime core central region which is strategically located at the crossing of Martin Place and River Valley Close – an upscale residential neighbourhood within District 9.
Dawn of New Urban Homes
As cosmopolitan cities around the world struggle with urban planning, Martin Modern comes at a timely hour to define how urban living can be sustainable. With over 80% of the land dedicated to lush greenery, Martin Modern has been touted as a Home within a Botanic Garden.
The unique botanic garden will feature fifteen different pockets of spaces with concepts like a party lawn, a forest trail, rain gardens and a maze, arboretum of native trees and vegetation and two sky gardens. Besides its expansive garden concept, Martin Modern has bespoke recreational facilities and concierge services.
There will be more than 200 species of plants and more than 50 species of trees and palms, including native ones like the jelutong, meranti and chengal. A rare majestic tree with distinct buttress roots that used to be found on site, the ficus variegata that can grow to a height of 30m as it matures, will be preserved in the condominium project.
Being a 10 metre upward slope from one end to the other, this geographical attributes presents the architect a special opportunity to create an unforgettable garden scape spread over three levels.
“In land – scarce Singapore, space in a prime location is the ultimate luxury. It is extremely rare to find a large lush site in prime District 9, within the posh Robertson Quay neighbourhood. This place gives us the opportunity to create our luxury resort – home concept, as seen in Goodwood Residence and Leedon Residence.” – Cheng Hsing Yao, GuocoLand Singapore Group Managing Director
Mr Cheng added, “Martin Modern is in the heart of the city but the moment you cross the main gate, past the mystical driveway to the arrival porch , you will be transported into a tranquil and enchanted garden.”
Martin Modern has a collection of 450 units varying from 2-bedrooms to 4-Bedrooms that come with with a view of the gardens, the city or the Singapore River. Every unit is crafted with the occupier in mind, with well proportioned and functional spaces, and finished in the highest quality

Prime location
This quiet and exclusive District 9 neighbourhood is poised for a slew of changes. It is favoured for its central location and proximity to Orchard R oa d, the Central Business District ( “ CBD ” ) and lifestyle amenities. Soon, it will enjoy greater connectivity with the completion of two upcoming MRT stations – the Great World and Fort Canning stations – serving the River Valley precinct for the first time.
Martin Modern is within walking distance to the Great World station along the Thomson – East Coast Line and the Fort Canning station along the Downtown Line, both of which will be up and running by the time the project is completed.
The Robertson Quay neighbourhood has shaped up to be a hip and happening lifestyle destination with the opening of four new hotels, many trendy wine bars, restaurants and cafes.
The CBD and Marina Bay are 5 minutes by car, and 10 minutes by train or bicycle. The nearby Singapore River promenade, Fort Canning Park and Alexandra Park Connector provide great platform for cycling and jogging enthusiasts.
Families with schooling children will benefit and appreciate the proximity to established schools such as River Valley Primary, School of the Arts and Singapore Management University. For arts enthusiast, the Civic District is nearby with its museums, concert halls and art galleries.
Where luxury, exclusivity and convenience meet.
Leedon Residence has seen a surge in interest among buyers since the beginning of 2017. The average price of the apartments there is around $6 million . We certainly experienced a growing sentiment that the luxury market seems to be offering great value now, especially since the supply of land in the prime districts is finite and new supply will be increasingly limited.”
With its location and development concept, Martin Modern offers that rare opportunity for home owners who are looking to enjoy both the tranquillity of luxury living, as well as the convenience of a modern lifestyle complete with amenities and concierge services.
GuocoLand acquired the Martin Modern site at $595.1 million in July 2016 through a government land sales tender. It is expected to announce the project pricing at the official launch of Martin Modern, which is likely to take place in the second half of 2017.
