Published: 13 Feb 2025
Promising panoramic views of Geylang River, Singapore Sports Hub and Marina East, Tanjong Rhu Parc Front is the only Prime housing project in HDB’s February 2025 Build-To-Order (BTO) exercise. As its name suggests, this new BTO development at Singapore’s city fringe will offer residents expansive views of Singapore’s cityline in addition to its prime location.
Wondering if Tanjong Rhu Parc Front could be your ideal fengshui home? Let’s take an in-depth fengshui review on this upcoming BTO development to find out. Read on!
Tanjong Rhu Parc Front: Landform fengshui
Bounded by the existing Tanjong Rhu Road, Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE – underground), and East Coast Parkway, Tanjong Rhu Parc Front resides in the district of Kallang/Whampoa within walking distance to Tanjong Rhu MRT station. This new BTO estate sits on the Southern Dragon, aka the Wealth Dragon.
A stone’s throw away from Geylang River, Tanjong Rhu Parc Front is part of the fengshui land formation known as ‘Five Snakes Battling a White Crocodile” with Kallang River complementing four waterways. The four waterways are namely Rochor River, Whampoa River, Geylang River and Pelton Canal. With abundant water sources in the area, does that indicate greater wealth opportunities for residents in Kallang?
Well, the river mouth is shaped like a crocodile’s mouth, where fast-flowing undercurrents and dangers lurk. Older Singaporeans may recall that developments at Kallang River precede that of Singapore River, but growth is slow due to distracting competitions between the Five Snakes.
The diversion of the river also affects the land formation. In spite of its prime location and proximity to central Singapore, Kallang boasts an idyllic and quiet environment – ideal for quality living.
Internal fengshui considerations

When it comes to choosing an ideal unit, keep in mind that the main orientation of a house will directly influence the overall luck of its residents. The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can typically be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.
Tanjong Rhu Parc Front consists of four 30-storey residential blocks, with a total of 812 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-room, and 4-room flats. One of the blocks will have 203 rental flats.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the Period 9 and 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions. It is recommended to choose a unit that faces either of these directions or lies at the border of these directions to tap on the positive energies.
We have categorised the units at Tanjong Rhu Parc Front under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
Warning Sign: These are on the boundary between 2 sectors of directions. Therefore, it is suggested to seek advice from a professional fengshui consultation for guidance.
There is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone. If in doubt, you may like to leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
This is especially if your unit is facing less favourable directions such as East or West. If in doubt, do consider getting a reliable fengshui consultation to ensure that you select a suitable unit so your household can thrive in Period 9.
External fengshui considerations

As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a new home.
Tanjong Rhu Parc Front, boasting the much-coveted address of Tanjong Rhu, puts one near to the Singapore Sports Hub, National Stadium and Kallang Wave Mall. This exclusive residential neighborhood also houses many condominiums and private housing.
With the Geylang River to the north and the Singapore Strait to the south, Tanjong Rhu Parc Front, is near to several recreational parks in an area in the midst of transforming into Singapore’s sports and lifestyle destination.
In landscape fengshui, a household is considered auspicious and blessed with prosperity and abundance if you can see flowing water from your living room, especially if there is a large door or window that allows an inflow of energy from the river across your home. For those getting a higher floor unit at Tanjong Rhu Parc Front, you are likely to get a river view.
Take note that it is crucial to determine the flow direction to determine if having a view of the flowing water is indeed beneficial to one’s household. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Surrounded by nature, residents of this new BTO development should also be mindful if your unit is close to trees and plants. While plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, it can introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies.
When selecting a choice BTO unit at Tanjong Rhu Parc Front, aspiring homeowners should also be mindful of units that are near to the lift or staircases, as (depending on proximity) this may respectively result in unstable magnetic field or unfavourable energies at home. Such situations could lead to household disharmony and health issues.
Also, take note that lower floor units at stacks 138, 140, 142, 160 face the 6/7 storey multi-storey carpark (MSCP) directly. With the living room and bedroom facing the MSCP, one could be affected by conflicting forces (煞气) such as noise pollution (噪音) and headlight flashes from moving cars. This could cause disturbances to daily life such as insomnia. To counter this, a window blind or curtains are essential.
While there seems to be sufficient buffer between the residential areas and nearby East Coast Parkway (ECP), higher floor units (especially 108, 110, 112, 114) overlooking the ECP will also be subjected to constant vehicle movements that indicate Sound Sha [声煞]. Do consider installing sound-proof solutions for a more conducive space.
Last but not least, Tanjong Rhu Parc Front is surrounded by sites reserved for future high-rise residential developments. This indicates potential conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the construction period.
High-rise buildings in proximity can present conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats, etc.
If you encounter such scenarios, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures to mitgate it.
Did you know?
Homeowners with a kitchen island may want to be mindful of the placement of your stove, as the stove is symbolic of the female homeowner’s health in terms of fengshui.
Building a stove on the kitchen island is not recommended, as it is exposed to qi (energy) from every angle. From a practical perspective, such exposure could also affect the food you cook, leading to health issues. The placement of the stove is best against a wall for stability.
Also, be mindful of your sink location in the kitchen. If it is directly across your kitchen stove, you may want to consider renovation or implement some changes such as installing an island in between (if space permits). This is because having a stove directly facing the sink depicts a clash of elements between fire (stove) and water (sink) that could affect the health of your household members.
Stay mindful as Period 9, which corresponds with the South, represents a strong Fire element. Therefore, locating important spaces within your premises is crucial. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of fire element) is facing South, otherwise too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household(especially female owner’s heatlh). If in doubt, always consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
