If you’re keeping an eye on new launch properties in Singapore in 2026, two names you’ll hear a lot are River Modern and Grand Dunman — each representing a distinct segment of the market with compelling reasons to buy.

WHY RIVER MODERN IS A STANDOUT NEW LAUNCH

1. A True City-Fringe Address with Riverfront Living

Located in District 9’s coveted River Valley precinct, River Modern is one of the rare new launches beside the Singapore River, offering scenic living with city convenience.

2. Best-In-Class Connectivity

River Modern is directly connected to Great World MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line, offering seamless access to Orchard, Marina Bay and the CBD.

3. Lifestyle, Amenities & Schools

Residents enjoy proximity to Great World City, Robertson Quay, River Valley Primary School and numerous international schools.

4. Diverse Unit Mix with Long-Term Value

River Modern offers 2 to 4 bedroom units, appealing to investors, couples and families alike.

HOW GRAND DUNMAN COMPARES

1. Exceptional MRT Access

Grand Dunman is just minutes from Dakota MRT on the Circle Line, connecting to key business and lifestyle hubs.

2. Mega Development Lifestyle

With over 1,000 units and extensive facilities, Grand Dunman offers a full-scale resort-style living environment.

3. Strong Family Appeal

Close to Kong Hwa, Tanjong Katong Primary and the Katong food enclave.

4. Earlier TOP and Maturity

Projected TOP around 2028, making it suitable for families planning to move in soon.

WHICH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Choose River Modern if you value prestige, river views, Orchard proximity and CCR positioning.

Choose Grand Dunman if you want community living, East Coast lifestyle and mega project facilities.

FINAL THOUGHT

Both developments are strong investments. River Modern suits buyers seeking prime city luxury, while Grand Dunman appeals to those prioritising family convenience and established neighbourhood living.
