Zyon Grand is being developed by CDL and Mitsui Fudosan, two established names well-known for shaping Singapore’s skyline. The project preview began on 8 October 2025, with sales bookings scheduled to start on Saturday, 25 October 2025.
You’ll find the development located along Kim Seng Road in District 3, right at the edge of the sought-after River Valley precinct. Spanning approximately 164,450 square feet, the project features two twin towers soaring 62 storeys high, offering a total of 706 residential units. It’s built on a 99-year leasehold site and is expected to be completed by 2030.
Designed as a vertical community, Zyon Grand brings together modern homes, retail spaces, and long-stay serviced apartments under one address – giving you the perfect blend of comfort, accessibility, and lifestyle.
Integrated development components
Unlike typical residential projects, Zyon Grand stands out for its first-of-its-kind integrated concept.
Within the development, residents will find a variety of dining and retail options, including restaurants and cafés, as well as a supermarket that provides easy access to daily essentials. There is also an early childhood development centre, making it convenient for families with young children.
A key feature of this project is its 36-storey serviced apartment tower, which introduces Singapore’s first long-stay serviced apartments under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Serviced Apartments II (SA2) category. Units under this new SA2 classification are designed for longer stays, with a minimum rental period of three months.
Land tender and background
The land on which Zyon Grand sits was released as Zion Road (Parcel A) under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. In April 2024, the CDL-Mitsui consortium submitted the sole bid for the plot and successfully secured it for S$1.107 billion – translating to around S$1,202 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
This prime parcel, nestled near the Singapore River and the River Valley area, was highly anticipated for its location and scale. The tender win signalled both developers’ confidence in the long-term demand for luxury homes in central Singapore.
Residential units and pricing
If you’re exploring home options here, there’s a wide selection of layouts designed for different lifestyles. The unit mix and indicative pricing are as follows:
| Unit type | Size (sq ft) | Starting price |
| 1-Bedroom + Study | 474 | From S$1.298 million |
| 2-Bedroom | 538 | From S$1.468 million |
| 3-Bedroom | 818 | From S$2.2 million |
| 4-Bedroom Premium (with private lift) | 1,421 | From S$3.968 million |
| 5-Bedroom Supreme (with private lift) | 1,819 | From S$5.988 million |
In terms of distribution, about 83% of all units consist of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, including variations with study, premium, and deluxe configurations. The remaining 17% are made up of 4- and 5-bedroom residences, which include study, premium, and supreme layouts, along with a limited number of penthouses.
The larger 4- and 5-bedroom units come with private lift access, offering greater privacy and direct entry to the home. The 5-bedroom units, located between levels 44 and 61, are positioned to take advantage of the development’s height, offering expansive views across the city and beyond.
Architectural design and concept
Zyon Grand was designed by Nikken Sekkei, an internationally renowned architectural firm, in partnership with ADDP Architects. The architectural inspiration comes from Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement – a reflection of harmony and balance between structure and nature.
The facade design features graceful, organic folds inspired by Singapore’s national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid, while the site form takes cues from the meandering Singapore River nearby. Together, these elements create an elegant, flowing design that fits beautifully within the urban landscape.
Conceived as a “garden isle” in the heart of the city, Zyon Grand integrates lush greenery and tranquil spaces throughout its vertical landscape. Every detail, from the architectural lines to the landscaped terraces, has been designed to bring nature closer to home, creating a calm, resort-like atmosphere amidst the urban bustle.
When completed, the development will rise to an impressive 240 metres, making it the tallest twin-tower residential project in the world built using Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) technology – a modern, sustainable building method that reduces waste and improves efficiency.

Sustainability and green design
Sustainability lies at the core of Zyon Grand’s vision. The development features a porous building design that encourages natural ventilation, complemented by lush greenery and water features at the podium level for urban cooling.
Zyon Grand aims to be the first integrated development to achieve Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy (SLE) certification under the BCA Green Mark 2021 framework. It also targets top-tier recognition for Health & Wellbeing, Whole Life Carbon, and Maintainability.
In terms of energy efficiency, the project is targeting at least a 30% reduction in overall carbon emissions. This is made possible through careful material selection, use of SGBC-certified Green Label products, and close monitoring of embodied carbon during the construction process.
When completed, you’ll be living in a home that not only offers luxury but also champions sustainability and environmental health – paving the way for a greener, more conscious way of city living.

Features and amenities
The development includes several facilities designed to support well-being and recreation. These include a clubhouse, gym, and multiple swimming pools surrounded by landscaped areas. The landscaping takes inspiration from a tropical rainforest, incorporating greenery throughout the grounds.
To encourage active living, sky terraces are located at various levels, with recreational and wellness spaces situated on levels 22 and 43. These elevated areas provide open spaces for exercise, relaxation, and quiet activities.
Living experience
Zyon Grand’s residences are oriented in a North-South direction, allowing for better ventilation and natural light throughout the day. Many units face the southern coastline, offering unblocked views towards Sentosa, the Central Business District (CBD), and Marina Bay Sands.
Inside, the apartments are fitted with European kitchen appliances from V-Zug, Liebherr, and De Dietrich. The master bedrooms come with Italian Caccaro wardrobes, while bathrooms include fittings from Hansgrohe and Geberit.
Another notable feature is the magnetic accessories wall system found in the kitchen and bathrooms. This flexible setup allows accessories to be rearranged easily, without additional installation, catering to different household needs.
Each residence also comes equipped with a Smart Home Gateway system, integrating a range of digital features such as:
- Smart air conditioning and lighting controls
- Smart digital locksets and surveillance systems
- Smart energy monitoring and Wi-Fi-enabled doorbells
- Smart booking and payment systems for facilities
- Keyless letterboxes, parcel delivery systems, and audio-video telephony
These features are designed to enhance daily convenience, improve energy efficiency, and provide greater control over home functions.
Location and connectivity
Zyon Grand sits along Kim Seng Road, right within the River Valley enclave in District 3. This central location places it just minutes from both the Orchard Road shopping belt and the Central Business District (CBD), offering residents convenient access to the city’s main commercial and lifestyle hubs.
The development enjoys direct connectivity to Havelock MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which links to key parts of Singapore. From here, Orchard MRT is only two stops away, while Outram Park MRT is just a single stop away. For those who drive, the Central Expressway (CTE) and Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) are nearby, providing straightforward routes to most parts of the island.
Beyond its transport links, the surrounding area offers a wide selection of amenities. Great World, Valley Point Shopping Centre, and the Orchard Road shopping district provide extensive retail and dining options, while nearby spots such as Tiong Bahru Food Centre, Clarke Quay, and Marina Bay Sands add to the variety of lifestyle and entertainment choices available.
Families will also find several reputable schools in the vicinity, including River Valley Primary, Alexandra Primary, Zhangde Primary, Gan Eng Seng, Crescent Girls’, and Outram Secondary School. Tertiary institutions such as the Singapore Management University (SMU), School of the Arts (SOTA), and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) are also within easy reach.
For outdoor recreation, residents can head to nearby green spaces such as Kim Seng Park, Fort Canning Park, and Pearl’s Hill City Park. Smaller parks like Istana Park, Esplanade Park, and Mount Emily Park provide additional places for relaxation and exercise, adding a touch of greenery to city living.
Market context and comparisons
The launch of Zyon Grand comes at a time when demand for prime district homes remains strong. Few new launches have entered the River Valley area in recent years, making this a rare opportunity for both homebuyers and investors.
Nearby projects have also performed well, showing how strong buyer sentiment is in this segment. For example, River Green sold 88% of its 524 units at an average price of S$3,130 psf, while Promenade Peak sold 54% of its 596 units at prices ranging from S$2,894 to S$3,343 psf.
Given its integrated nature, MRT connectivity, and proximity to the CBD, Zyon Grand is expected to attract both owner-occupiers and investors, especially those eyeing rental demand from professionals working nearby.
In short, this launch signals continued confidence in Singapore’s property market – and Zyon Grand stands poised to be one of the more notable projects of 2025.
