dens, Martin Modern has reserved more than
80% of its land area for a three-level botanic
garden and arboretum that is home to more
than 200 species of plants and 50 species of
trees, including many that are indigenous to
Singapore.
As well as enjoying their own private green
oasis in the city, occupants of the 450 residen-
tial units that are spread across two 30-story
towers, can also explore 15 different spaces
