How many units have been sold?
In the developer's availability list as of 1 November 2026, 21 of the 455 homes are still for sale, so 434 have been sold since the launch on 7 March 2026. The units still for sale are shown in the unit finder.
Can I still buy a unit after the launch?
Yes. The remaining units are sold one by one. Ask me to check that the unit you want is still available, then we visit the sales gallery to book it with the 5% booking fee. How to buy now.
Payments
How much do I pay when I book a unit?
When the option to purchase is granted, you pay a 5% booking fee in cash. A further 15% is due eight weeks from the option date, when you sign the sale and purchase agreement, in cash, CPF or both. Buyer's stamp duty (and ABSD if it applies to you) and the legal fees also fall due around then, and can be paid in cash or CPF.
What is the payment schedule for River Modern?
River Modern is still being built, so it follows the standard progressive payment scheme for uncompleted private homes: you pay in stages as construction progresses.
| Stage | % of price | Usually paid with | Expected (indicative) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Option to purchase (booking) | 5% | Cash | When you book |
| Sale & purchase agreement (within 8 weeks) | 15% | Cash / CPF | 8 weeks after booking |
| Foundation completed | 10% | 5% cash / CPF, 5% loan* | Q1 2027 |
| Reinforced concrete framework | 10% | Loan | Q3 2027 to Q4 2028 |
| Partition walls | 5% | Loan | Q3 2027 to Q1 2029 |
| Roofing / ceiling | 5% | Loan | Q4 2027 to Q1 2029 |
| Door & window frames, wiring, plastering, plumbing | 5% | Loan | Q4 2027 to Q1 2029 |
| Car park, roads & drains | 5% | Loan | Not given yet |
| Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) | 25% | Loan | 2H 2030 (estimate) |
| Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC) | 15% | Loan | After TOP |
| Total | 100% |
The expected dates for the foundation to the doors and windows are the developer's progressive stages for Towers 5 and 7, an indicative guide that may change; TOP is the developer's estimate. With the foundation expected in Q1 2027, a buyer today pays the 5% and 15% first, then the foundation instalment.
*With a 75% bank loan you pay the first 25% yourself: 5% + 15% + the first 5% of the foundation stage. The loan covers the rest as each stage is completed. If you buy after some stages are already done, the payments for those stages fall due together soon after you sign. Work out the amounts for a specific price with my payment schedule calculator.
Can I use CPF?
The 5% booking fee must be paid in cash. After that, the 15% at the sale and purchase agreement, the stamp duties, the legal fees and the later instalments can be paid from your CPF Ordinary Account, within CPF's usage limits.
What are the estimated maintenance fees?
The developer estimates $84.50 per share value a month, before GST: $422.50 for the 2-bedroom B1 (share value 5); $507 for the 2-bedroom plus, the 3-bedroom C1, C2 and C4 and the 3-bedroom flex (6); $591.50 for the 3-bedroom plus and the 4-bedroom D1 (7); and $676 for the 4-bedroom plus D2 (8). The actual fees will be set by the management corporation after completion.

Which homes can see the river?
The developer says 9 of the 13 stacks have views of the river, from different angles and depending on the floor. Tower 7 is turned to face south-east, over the pool towards the river, and Tower 5 to take in the bend of the river. Level 2 is about 14 m above Kim Seng Park; at level 2 you look into the tree canopy, and the developer expects homes to clear the trees from about level 4. The south-side stacks (02, 03 and 08 to 10) face the park and the river most directly; no homes face directly west. Filter the unit finder by side.
What is the flex room in the C3, C5 and C6 homes?
A small room of about 4 sqm next to the kitchen, for a study, a store or a helper. In the 3-bedroom plus homes (C5 and C6) you can ask the developer to leave out the flex room's walls, sliding door and the kitchen door frames, to open it up into the kitchen.
